Palworld

Palworld pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with the Intel Arc B570 in a combination that lands near the bottom of the tested field, ranking 2362 out of 2944 combos. This is a mid-range CPU matched with an entry-level-to-mid GPU, and the measured frame rates reflect a system that is almost entirely GPU-limited at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows a playable 1080p experience at most presets, but the card’s 10 GB memory pool and 160-bit bus become clear bottlenecks as resolution climbs.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, confirming that the Intel Arc B570 is the limiting component in this pairing. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 81 FPS at 1920x1080 to 53 FPS at 2560x1440, then down to 30 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a 63% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, which points to a GPU that simply runs out of pixel-pushing capability at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is not the constraint here; the scaling curve is far too aggressive for a CPU bottleneck.

Looking at Low settings, the pattern holds. The system produces 130 FPS at 1080p, 85 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. The delta between 1080p and 1440p is 45 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 38 FPS. This suggests that even at the lowest settings, the Arc B570 cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K, and the 47 FPS average at Low 4K is the best the card can achieve at that resolution. For practical purposes, 4K gaming with this combo is only viable at Low settings, and even then it barely crosses the 45 FPS threshold.

The Medium preset shows a similar trajectory, with 105 FPS at 1080p, 69 FPS at 1440p, and 38 FPS at 4K. The minimum frame rates at Medium also degrade significantly, from 89 FPS at 1080p to 59 FPS at 1440p and 33 FPS at 4K. This tells us that not only are averages dropping, but frame pacing suffers as well. The Ultra preset is the worst case, with 61 FPS at 1080p, 40 FPS at 1440p, and a mere 22 FPS at 4K. At Ultra 4K, the experience is effectively unplayable, and even at 1440p Ultra, the 40 FPS average is below what most players would consider smooth.

The data indicates that the Arc B570’s 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 160-bit bus are the primary reasons for this scaling. The card’s 2500 MHz boost clock and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance are adequate for 1080p, but the memory subsystem cannot feed the GPU enough data at higher resolutions. This is a classic case of a card that is designed for 1080p gaming, with 1440p being a stretch and 4K being a compromise.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2362 out of 2944 places this pairing in the bottom 20% of all tested configurations for Palworld. This is a low ranking, but it is not surprising given the hardware. The Ryzen 5 7600X is a strong CPU, ranking in the 79th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27636. The Intel Arc B570, however, only reaches the 65th percentile against all GPUs, with an average score of 20556. The GPU is the weak link, and the ranking reflects that imbalance.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7600X is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and the Intel Core i5-12600K, both of which have an average score of 27578, a delta of just 0.2%. It is also 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE and 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 5800. This means the CPU is performing exactly as expected for its class; it is not a limiting factor in the overall combo ranking.

The GPU, on the other hand, is closely matched with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which has a delta of 0.1%, and the Intel Arc A750, which is 0.1% faster. The Arc B570 is also 0.4% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and 0.5% behind the AMD Radeon R9 M390X. These are all mid-range or older mobile/desktop parts, and the B570 sits right in the middle of them. The combo ranking of 2362 is a direct consequence of pairing a top-quartile CPU with a GPU that is only slightly above average.

For Palworld specifically, the ranking suggests that this combo is better suited for lower resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows that 1080p High is the sweet spot, while 1440p Medium is also acceptable. Anything above that, and the system falls below the 60 FPS target that most players prefer. The rank of 2362 out of 2944 is a warning that this is not a high-performance pairing for this game, but it is not a failure either; it is a capable 1080p machine.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with the High preset, which delivers 81 FPS on average. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a good balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 105 FPS, but the visual upgrade to High is worth the 24 FPS drop, especially since 81 FPS is still very smooth. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 61 FPS, which is playable but not ideal, and the visual difference between High and Ultra is often marginal in Palworld.

For players with 1440p monitors, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point, as it yields 69 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS. This is a playable experience, though it is close to the edge of the 60 FPS target. The High preset at 1440p drops to 53 FPS, which is noticeable but still acceptable for a survival game. The Low preset at 1440p offers 85 FPS, but the visual quality is significantly reduced, so Medium is the better trade-off. Ultra at 1440p is not recommended, as the 40 FPS average is too low for a smooth experience.

At 4K, the data is clear: only the Low preset is viable, with 47 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K drops to 38 FPS, and High falls to 30 FPS, both of which are below acceptable thresholds. Ultra at 4K is unplayable at 22 FPS. If a player insists on 4K, they must accept Low settings, but the 47 FPS average is still not ideal. The recommendation is to stick with 1080p High or 1440p Medium for the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate.

The measured minimum frame rates at Medium settings also inform the recommendation. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 89 FPS, which is excellent. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 59 FPS, which is just at the edge of playability. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 33 FPS, which is a stuttery mess. This suggests that the Medium preset is only truly comfortable up to 1440p, and the card’s memory bandwidth is the culprit at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide range of performance depending on settings. With Low settings, the average FPS is 130, which is excellent for a fast-paced game. Medium settings drop to 105 FPS, with a minimum of 89 FPS and a maximum of 121 FPS, showing good frame consistency. High settings reduce the average to 81 FPS, which is still very smooth. Ultra settings bring the average down to 61 FPS, which is the minimum recommended for a playable experience. The gap between Low and Ultra is 69 FPS, indicating that the GPU has headroom at 1080p but is pushed harder by higher presets.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 85 FPS, which is still good. Medium settings average 69 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. High settings average 53 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target but still playable for a survival title. Ultra settings average 40 FPS, which is starting to feel sluggish. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all settings, averaging about 30% fewer frames, which aligns with the increase in pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the card struggles. Low settings average 47 FPS, which is the only playable option. Medium settings average 38 FPS, with a minimum of 33 FPS and a maximum of 44 FPS, showing severe frame dips. High settings average 30 FPS, and Ultra settings average 22 FPS. The 4K results are uniformly poor, with no setting achieving a 60 FPS average. The data shows that the Arc B570 is not a 4K card for Palworld, and the 10 GB memory buffer is likely being exceeded at this resolution with higher settings.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 89-121 FPS, which is tight. At 1440p, the range is 59-80 FPS, which is wider but still acceptable. At 4K, the range is 33-44 FPS, which is a 11 FPS spread, indicating unstable performance. This data suggests that the card’s frame pacing degrades as resolution increases, likely due to memory bandwidth limitations.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the defining component in this combo’s Palworld performance. The GPU has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card’s base and boost clock are both 2500 MHz, and it offers 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. These specs are modest for a modern GPU, and the measured FPS data shows that they are insufficient for high-resolution gaming in Palworld.

The 10 GB memory pool is a key factor. At 1080p, the card has enough memory to handle High and even Ultra settings, as evidenced by the 81 FPS and 61 FPS averages respectively. At 1440p, the memory pressure increases, and the card starts to drop below 60 FPS on High settings. At 4K, the 10 GB buffer is likely maxed out, causing the severe performance drop seen in the data. The 160-bit bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are also limiting factors, as they cannot move data fast enough to feed the GPU at higher resolutions.

The card’s 2304 shading units and 144 TMUs are adequate for 1080p, but the 80 ROPs may be a bottleneck at higher resolutions. The pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s are respectable for the price point, but they are not enough to maintain high frame rates at 1440p or 4K. The 18 ray tracing cores are present, but Palworld’s performance does not suggest that ray tracing is a major factor in the measured results.

The GPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 65th percentile, with an average score of 20556. Its nearest rival, the Intel Arc A750, is 0.1% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is 0.1% slower. This shows that the B570 is a competent mid-range card, but it is not a high-end performer. The 150 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this class, and the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is sufficient for most games, though Palworld’s results suggest that the card is not leveraging the CPU’s PCIe Gen 5 capability.
