# Palworld with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination delivers a versatile Palworld experience across the three tested resolutions. The data shows a system that comfortably handles 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K Ultra pushes the hardware to its limits. This analysis walks through the measured FPS rows, interprets what the numbers reveal about the CPU and GPU roles, and provides practical guidance for optimizing settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 264 FPS at 1080p to 175 FPS at 1440p, then to 97 FPS at 4K. This represents a 33.7% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a further 44.6% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions, where pixel count grows substantially.

At Medium settings, the pattern continues: 215 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 79 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34.4% and 44.0% respectively, nearly identical to the Low setting scaling. This consistency suggests that the rendering workload scales predictably with resolution, and the frame rate reductions are primarily driven by the GPU's pixel processing capacity.

High settings show 165 FPS at 1080p, 109 FPS at 1440p, and 60 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 33.9%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 45.0%. The 4K result of exactly 60 FPS is notable, as it aligns with common display refresh rates, though the data shows no minimum FPS value recorded for this configuration.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve: 125 FPS at 1080p, 83 FPS at 1440p, and 46 FPS at 4K. The percentage decreases are 33.6% and 44.6%, maintaining the same proportional pattern. However, the 4K Ultra result falls below 60 FPS, indicating that this setting combination exceeds what the hardware can sustain for smooth gameplay at that resolution.

The consistent percentage drops across all settings suggest that the limiting component at higher resolutions is the GPU, specifically its fill rate and memory bandwidth. The RTX 5070's 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are the key factors governing 4K performance. At 1080p, the CPU has more headroom, as evidenced by the 264 FPS Low result, which approaches the practical limits of many displays.
