Palworld

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers a playable but heavily resolution-dependent experience in Palworld, with the data indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at higher settings. The combo ranks in the 57th percentile among all tested configurations, and the measured frames per second (FPS) show that while 1080p performance is strong, 4K Ultra is the only preset that falls below playable thresholds.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and the data shows this is more than sufficient to feed the RTX 2070 SUPER in Palworld. The processor's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth contribute to its strong synthetic scores, which include a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 21765 and a single-core result of 3072.

The CPU's performance relative to its peers is tight; it sits within a 0.3% delta of its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707 (a 0.1% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (-0.2%). This places the 7400F in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32750. In Palworld, the game's survival genre typically involves many dynamic entities and physics calculations, but the measured FPS scaling across resolutions suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck.

At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 167 FPS, and dropping to 1440p Low reduces that to 110 FPS, a 34% decline. If the CPU were the limiting factor, raising resolution would not impact frame rates so dramatically. The fact that FPS scales inversely with resolution across all settings points to the GPU being the constraint. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 2560 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus (448.0 GB/s bandwidth), is a mid-range card from the Turing generation, and its performance ceiling is what defines the combo's results. The CPU's high single-thread score (Cinebench R23 single-core 3072) is likely sufficient for Palworld's game logic, ensuring that the graphics card is the component that determines the frame rate in most scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7400F and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1665 out of 2944 tested combos in Palworld. This places the configuration in the 57th percentile of all system pairings, meaning it outperforms more than half of the tested setups but is not among the top performers. The rank reflects a balanced but not exceptional pairing; the CPU is a modern desktop part, while the GPU is an older, end-of-life product that was released in 2019.

The GPU's relative standing is notably lower than the CPU's. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, -1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, -1.2% delta), the Intel Arc B570 (20556, -1.3% delta), and the Intel Arc A750 (20582, -1.5% delta). These are all within a 1.5% performance window, indicating the 2070 SUPER is competitive with a range of mobile and desktop parts from different generations.

In contrast, the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking is much higher, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its score. This asymmetry suggests that the combo's rank in Palworld is dragged down by the GPU. If the CPU were paired with a stronger graphics card, the overall combo rank would likely improve significantly. The data shows that the 7400F has headroom to support a more powerful GPU, but in this specific pairing, the RTX 2070 SUPER's age and mid-range positioning cap the system's performance. The rank of 1665 out of 2944 is a solid mid-pack result, but it is clear that the GPU is the limiting factor in reaching higher positions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which confirms the GPU-bound nature of this combo. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 167 at 1080p to 110 at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 61 at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). This scaling is expected for a GPU-bound workload, as the number of pixels rendered increases by roughly 1.8x from 1080p to 1440p and by 2.25x from 1440p to 4K.

The Medium settings show a similar trend: 136 FPS at 1080p, 89 FPS at 1440p (a 35% drop), and 50 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop from 1440p). The High preset follows with 104 FPS at 1080p, 69 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 38 FPS at 4K (a 45% drop). The consistency of these percentage drops across different settings is a strong indicator that the GPU is the bottleneck; if the CPU were limiting, the frame rate would not scale so predictably with pixel count.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest absolute decline, going from 79 FPS at 1080p to 52 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop) and then to 29 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop from 1440p). The fact that the 4K Ultra result is below 30 FPS is significant; it suggests the game becomes nearly unplayable at that combination of resolution and quality. The data indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER cannot handle the increased pixel throughput and the additional graphical effects at 4K, while the CPU's role remains secondary. The consistent 34-35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and the 44-45% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings is a textbook signature of a GPU-limited scenario.
