Palworld

Palworld places the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combo in a specific performance envelope. The data shows a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the GPU acting as the primary constraint at higher loads. This analysis breaks down the measured frames per second (FPS) across three resolutions and four quality presets, contextualizing the results against the broader benchmark database.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 179.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 119.7 FPS, a reduction of 33%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 63.9 FPS, which is 47% lower than the 1440p result and 64% lower than the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that the rendering workload is expanding rapidly with pixel count, placing increasing strain on the GPU.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. For High settings, the averages are 112 FPS at 1080p, 75.9 FPS at 1440p, and 39.2 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 32%, and from 1440p to 4K is 48%. Ultra settings show a similar trajectory: 86.4 FPS at 1080p, 57.8 FPS at 1440p, and 31.4 FPS at 4K. The consistent percentage drops across presets suggest that the limiting component is not changing with settings; rather, the GPU's fillrate and memory bandwidth are being saturated proportionally to the number of pixels.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep in every case, with averages falling by roughly half. This indicates that at 4K, the RTX 4060's 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth become a hard ceiling. The data does not show a scenario where the CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, becomes the bottleneck; even at 1080p Low, where CPU overhead is typically highest, the average FPS of 179.5 suggests the GPU is still managing the bulk of the workload. The conclusion from the resolution scaling is unambiguous: this is a GPU-limited configuration for Palworld, with the processor providing sufficient headroom.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo in Palworld?

A: The highest average FPS is 179.5, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings.

Q: How does the 4K Ultra performance compare to 1080p Low performance?

A: The 4K Ultra average is 31.4 FPS, which is 82.5% lower than the 179.5 FPS seen at 1080p Low. This represents the largest gap between any two measured points in the dataset.

Q: At which resolution and settings does the combo fail to maintain 60 FPS on average?

A: The combo falls below 60 FPS at 4K with High settings (39.2 FPS), 4K Medium (54.9 FPS), and 4K Ultra (31.4 FPS). At 1440p, all settings presets remain above 57.8 FPS.

Q: Is there a settings preset at 1440p that delivers over 100 FPS?

A: Yes, at 2560x1440 with Low settings, the average FPS is 119.7. The Medium preset at 1440p also exceeds 90 FPS with an average of 95.6.

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

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 179.5 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 86.4 FPS. The difference is 93.1 FPS, or 51.9% lower performance for Ultra.

Q: Does the data suggest a CPU bottleneck at any tested configuration?

A: No. The consistent FPS drops across resolution scaling indicate the GPU is the limiting factor. Even at 1080p Low, the high average FPS shows the CPU can feed the GPU without holding it back.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory bandwidth is rated at 272.0 GB/s, which is a key metric for understanding Palworld's performance at high resolutions. The GPU's boost clock is 2460 MHz, with a base clock of 1830 MHz. These clocks, combined with 3072 shading units, define the raw compute throughput of 15.11 TFLOPS FP32.

In Palworld, the GPU's role is dominant. The measured FPS data shows that the card's performance scales almost linearly with the number of pixels being rendered. At 1080p, the card has enough bandwidth and compute to push high frame rates, with the Low preset hitting 179.5 FPS. However, the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit interface become apparent at 4K. The 4K Ultra preset averages just 31.4 FPS, which is a demanding scenario for a card of this class.

The GPU's 48 ROPs and 96 TMUs also contribute to the texture and pixel throughput. The texture rate is 236.2 GTexel/s, which is sufficient for the game's environments at lower resolutions but is strained at 4K. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Palworld, where it delivers playable and often high frame rates. At 4K, only the Low preset (63.9 FPS) achieves an average above 60 FPS, suggesting that users targeting 4K must significantly reduce graphical fidelity.

The GPU's percentile ranking against all GPUs is 66, placing it above the median. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (deltaPct -0.6) and the Intel Arc B580 (deltaPct 0.7), indicating that the RTX 4060 sits in a competitive mid-range tier. The measured Palworld results align with this positioning, as the card handles mainstream resolutions well but is not designed for extreme 4K workloads.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides average FPS for three resolutions and four settings presets, with no minimum or maximum frame data recorded. The complete breakdown is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 179.5 FPS. The Medium preset averages 145.6 FPS, which is 18.9% lower than Low. The High preset averages 112 FPS, a 37.6% reduction from Low. The Ultra preset averages 86.4 FPS, representing a 51.9% drop from the Low setting. This progression shows a predictable cost for each step up in quality.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 119.7 FPS. Medium averages 95.6 FPS, a 20.1% decrease. High averages 75.9 FPS, a 36.6% decrease from Low. Ultra averages 57.8 FPS, which is 51.7% lower than Low. The relative differences between presets are very similar to those seen at 1080p, confirming that the GPU's workload scales consistently with settings.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 63.9 FPS. Medium averages 54.9 FPS, a 14.1% decrease. High averages 39.2 FPS, a 38.7% decrease from Low. Ultra averages 31.4 FPS, a 50.9% reduction. The smaller percentage drop from Low to Medium at 4K (14.1%) compared to 1080p (18.9%) suggests that at 4K, even the Low preset is heavily taxing the GPU, leaving less headroom for additional settings.

The overall trend is that the RTX 4060 delivers smooth 60+ FPS gameplay at 1080p on all presets and at 1440p on Low and Medium. At 1440p High, the average of 75.9 FPS is still very playable. At 4K, only the Low preset crosses the 60 FPS threshold, and just barely. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 31.4 FPS, which is below the threshold for comfortable gameplay in a survival title.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 971 out of 1718 tested combos in Palworld. This places it in the 56th percentile of all tested system configurations for this game, meaning it outperforms a slight majority of combos but sits firmly in the mid-pack.

The CPU component of this combo, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, has a percentile rank of 82 against all CPUs, indicating it is a strong processor. Its average benchmark score is 24673, which is nearly identical to its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i7-1360P scores 24627 (deltaPct 0.2), the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D scores 24605 (deltaPct 0.3), and the Intel Core i5-11600 scores 24559 (deltaPct 0.5). The AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores slightly higher at 24811 (deltaPct -0.6). This clustering shows that the 5700X3D is well-matched to its peers in synthetic CPU tests.

The GPU, the RTX 4060, has a percentile rank of 66 against all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 23181. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23321, deltaPct -0.6), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23338, deltaPct -0.7), the Intel Arc B580 (23021, deltaPct 0.7), and the AMD Radeon 760M (22999, deltaPct 0.8). The deltaPct values are all within 1% of zero, indicating that the RTX 4060 is positioned in a very tightly contested performance band.

Given that the CPU ranks in the 82nd percentile and the GPU in the 66th percentile, the combo's overall rank of 971 out of 1718 (56th percentile) in Palworld is lower than either component's individual percentile. This suggests that the game's performance is heavily dependent on the GPU, and the strong CPU cannot boost the combo beyond what the RTX 4060 can deliver. The ranking indicates that for Palworld specifically, the RTX 4060 is the defining component, and the 5700X3D provides ample support without becoming a limiting factor. Users seeking higher ranks in this game would need to prioritize a more powerful GPU over a stronger CPU.
