Palworld

Palworld is a demanding survival title that stresses both CPU and GPU, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a strong 1080p and 1440p experience. The data shows this combo ranks 483rd out of 2944 tested combinations, placing it in the top 16% of all systems. At 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth keep the game playable, but the frame rates dip below the 60 FPS threshold on Ultra settings, making High the sensible ceiling for a smooth experience at that resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Palworld at 4K with maxed-out settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the measured average FPS is 48, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. Dropping to High settings brings the average up to 63 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Q: What is the best resolution for this system in Palworld?

A: The sweet spot is 2560x1440. At High settings, the average FPS is 113, and even at Ultra it stays at 86 FPS. This resolution offers a significant visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining high frame rates that will satisfy most gamers.

Q: How does the CPU’s core count affect performance in this game?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600F has 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture. This configuration is more than sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4070 SUPER in Palworld, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p where the CPU is often the limiting factor.

Q: Is the 12 GB of VRAM on the RTX 4070 SUPER enough for Palworld?

A: Yes. The measured results show that the 12 GB GDDR6X memory with a 192-bit bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for all tested settings, including 4K Ultra. The game does not appear to be VRAM-limited in these tests, as the GPU’s compute performance is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The jump is substantial. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 264 FPS, while Ultra drops that to 131 FPS. This represents a 50% performance reduction for the highest visual quality, giving players a wide range of choices depending on their monitor’s refresh rate.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 483rd out of 2944 tested combinations, which places it in the 84th percentile of all systems tested for Palworld. This is a strong result, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4070 SUPER combination is well-balanced for this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination achieves a rank of 483 out of 2944 tested combos for Palworld. This places the system in the top 16.4% of all configurations tested, which is a solid result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The ranking suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600F does not bottleneck the RTX 4070 SUPER in this title, as the system performs well above the median. The data indicates that this pairing is well-balanced for Palworld, offering a performance level that exceeds the vast majority of tested systems.

The nearest rival comparisons for the GPU show that the RTX 4070 SUPER is within 1% of the performance of the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB and the RTX 5050 Mobile, while being 1% behind the RTX 4090 Mobile in average benchmark score. This consistency in GPU performance is reflected in the game’s frame rates, which scale predictably with resolution and settings. The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, are all within 0.5% of the 5600F’s average score, indicating that the processor is performing exactly as expected for its class. This combination of a well-matched CPU and GPU results in a system that ranks in the top 16% for Palworld, making it a reliable choice for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and solid 4K performance on High settings.

Settings Recommendations

For a balance between visual fidelity and performance, the data suggests that High settings at 2560x1440 is the optimal configuration for this combo. At this setting, the average FPS is 113, which is well above the 90 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p. If the user prefers maximum frame rates, dropping to Low settings at 1440p yields an average of 182 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz or higher).

At 1920x1080, the system is capable of exceeding 200 FPS on Medium settings (224 FPS average) and 264 FPS on Low, making it suitable for 240Hz displays. However, the visual quality at Medium is a good middle ground, offering a 224 FPS average with a minimum of 190 FPS, ensuring no noticeable dips. For 4K gaming, High settings are the recommended maximum, as they produce a 63 FPS average. Ultra settings at 4K should be avoided, as the 48 FPS average will result in a stuttery experience. The measured data shows that the performance drop from Medium to Ultra at 4K is significant (82 to 48 FPS), so High is the practical ceiling for 4K with this hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: Average 264 FPS. This is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo, making it ideal for esports or high-refresh-rate gaming.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, is the primary driver of frame rates in Palworld at higher resolutions. The GPU has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game’s textures and assets at all tested settings. The GPU’s 7168 shading units and 224 texture mapping units deliver a texture fill rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, which is a key factor in the smooth performance seen at 1080p and 1440p.

The clock speeds are a base of 1980 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with the 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, give the GPU a raw compute power of 35.48 TFLOPS for FP32 operations. This compute capability is reflected in the benchmark results, where the GPU scores 29995 in Passmark G3D and 17108 in Passmark GPU Compute. The GPU’s performance in Palworld scales well with resolution, showing a clear drop from 264 FPS at 1080p Low to 48 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is a typical pattern for a GPU with this level of memory bandwidth.

The 83rd percentile ranking for all GPUs and the average benchmark score of 43223 place the RTX 4070 SUPER in the high-end tier of graphics cards. The nearest rival data shows it is within 1% of the performance of the RTX 4090 Mobile and Quadro M6000 series, confirming its position as a strong performer. In Palworld, the GPU is not the bottleneck at 1080p, where the CPU plays a larger role, but it becomes the limiting factor at 4K, where the 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are tested to their limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The CPU features 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Passmark multithread score of 19236 and single-thread score of 2872 indicate that the CPU is capable of handling the game’s physics and AI calculations, which are often demanding in survival titles like Palworld.

In this combo, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p with lower settings, where the frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 264, which suggests that the CPU is able to feed the GPU with enough data to achieve these high frame rates. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 36945 place it in the upper mid-range tier, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, all within 0.5% of the 5600F’s performance. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in the system for Palworld.

The 4.00 GHz boost clock and 6 cores are sufficient to prevent the CPU from bottlenecking the RTX 4070 SUPER at 1440p and 4K, as the frame rate drops are primarily due to GPU limitations. The Passmark physics score of 1043 and integer math score of 59339 show that the CPU can handle the game’s physics calculations, which is crucial for a survival game with many dynamic elements. Overall, the Ryzen 5 5600F provides a solid foundation for this GPU, allowing it to perform at its full potential in Palworld.
