Palworld

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 282 out of 1,718 tested combinations in Palworld, placing it in the top 16.4% of all configurations evaluated. This is a strong result for a mid-generation pairing, and the data shows the combination sits comfortably in the upper quartile of performance, with the percentile placement reflecting that this system will handle the game's demands without being near the top of the leaderboard.

The CPU component of this combo, the Ryzen 7 5700, posts an average benchmark score of 27,220, which places it in the 84th percentile against all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K (average score 27,043, deltaPct 0.7), the Intel Core i7-12700H (27,006, deltaPct 0.8), and the Intel Core i7-1370P (26,991, deltaPct 0.8). The margins are razor-thin — the Ryzen 7 5700 leads the i9-9900K by just 0.7% and the i7-12700H by 0.8%, indicating that in CPU-bound scenarios, this processor is essentially level with those older high-end parts. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 trails by 1.2%, showing a slightly larger gap but still within the same performance tier.

For the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 42,576, also landing in the 84th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42,653, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42,723, deltaPct -0.3), the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (41,991, deltaPct 1.4), and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 (41,897, deltaPct 1.6). The RTX 4070 SUPER is effectively tied with the RTX A6000 and RX 7650 GRE, trailing both by less than a third of a percent, while leading the Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% and the Tesla M40 by 1.6%. This suggests that in pure GPU compute, the 4070 SUPER is a well-balanced performer against professional and workstation-class cards.

The overall combo ranking in Palworld specifically — 282nd out of 1,718 — indicates that while both components are individually strong, the pairing does not create an exceptional synergy in this particular game. The ranking reflects that many other combinations (likely with higher-end CPUs or more recent GPUs) outpace this setup, but the data also shows the combo is far from the bottom, with roughly 1,436 configurations ranked below it.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, containing 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a substantial amount for a card in this class.

In Palworld, the GPU's role is critical across all tested settings and resolutions, as the game is visually demanding with dense environments and numerous on-screen entities. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores support the game's lighting and any potential ray-traced effects, while the 7,168 shading units handle the rasterization workload. The card's pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s ensure that even at high resolutions, the fill rate is sufficient to maintain playable frame rates.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB proves adequate for Palworld at 4K resolution, as the measured FPS data shows no catastrophic drops that would indicate memory overflow. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is particularly relevant at 3840x2160, where the GPU must stream large amounts of texture data. The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the FPS scaling patterns discussed later in this analysis.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 SUPER paired with the Ryzen 7 5700 delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 274.7 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings drop to 227.2 FPS, still far above any practical refresh rate cap. High settings yield 171.9 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 132.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 51.7% reduction in frame rate, but even the lowest Ultra figure remains highly playable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU working harder. Low settings achieve 180.9 FPS, Medium produces 148.4 FPS, High reaches 116.2 FPS, and Ultra drops to 89 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 50.8%, nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. This consistency suggests the GPU is scaling predictably with workload increases.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more moderate. Low settings yield 103.6 FPS, which is still excellent for 4K. Medium settings produce 80.2 FPS, High reaches 66.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 48.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra figure is below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for smooth gameplay, but the High setting at 66.1 FPS clears that bar. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is 53%, slightly steeper than at lower resolutions, indicating the GPU is becoming the more significant bottleneck.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops from 1080p to 4K reveal important characteristics about the limiting component in this combo. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 274.7 at 1080p to 180.9 at 1440p (a 34.1% drop) and then to 103.6 at 4K (a 42.7% drop from 1440p). This steep decline indicates the GPU is heavily taxed as pixel count increases, with the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth being pushed to their limits.

At Medium settings, the progression is 227.2 FPS at 1080p, 148.4 at 1440p (a 34.7% drop), and 80.2 at 4K (a 46% drop from 1440p). The increasing percentage drops at higher resolutions and settings confirm that the GPU is the primary limiting factor. The CPU, with its strong multi-threaded scores (20,655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core), is likely not the bottleneck in these scenarios.

At High settings, the FPS goes from 171.9 at 1080p to 116.2 at 1440p (a 32.4% drop) and then to 66.1 at 4K (a 43.1% drop). The Ultra settings show 132.7 at 1080p, 89 at 1440p (a 32.9% drop), and 48.7 at 4K (a 45.3% drop). The consistent pattern of larger drops from 1440p to 4K versus 1080p to 1440p indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and processing power are increasingly saturated as resolution rises.

The data suggests that for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this combo is well-balanced, with the CPU and GPU working in harmony. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, and users should expect to adjust settings to maintain playable frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all settings are viable, but the High preset at 171.9 FPS offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance headroom. Ultra at 132.7 FPS is also excellent, and the difference between High and Ultra is likely noticeable in texture and shadow quality. For competitive play or maximum frame rates, Low at 274.7 FPS is available, but the visual compromise may not be worth it given how well High performs.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 116.2 FPS is the recommended sweet spot. This provides smooth gameplay on 144Hz monitors and retains good visual quality. Medium at 148.4 FPS is an option for higher refresh rates, while Ultra at 89 FPS is still playable but may not be ideal for fast-paced action. Low at 180.9 FPS is excessive unless the user prioritizes maximum frame rates above all else.

For 3840x2160, the High preset at 66.1 FPS is the clear recommendation for the best experience. This clears the 60 FPS threshold and provides good visual quality. Medium at 80.2 FPS is a viable alternative if users prefer higher frame rates, while Ultra at 48.7 FPS should be avoided for active gameplay, as it falls below the 60 FPS target. Low at 103.6 FPS is an option for users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, but the drop in quality may be significant.

The data indicates that the combo is most capable at 1080p and 1440p, where it can handle Ultra settings with ease. At 4K, users should stick with High or Medium to maintain smooth performance. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for these settings, and the Ryzen 7 5700's strong single-thread performance (3,296 in PassMark single-thread) ensures the CPU does not become a limiting factor in most scenarios. Overall, the measured results show this combo excels at mainstream resolutions, with 4K requiring conservative settings choices.
