Palworld

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers measured performance in Palworld that places it at rank 531 out of 1718 tested combos. The data set includes average FPS for four presets across three resolutions, along with component-level benchmarks that allow a detailed look at how this pairing behaves in this survival title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 531 out of 1718 tested combinations places it in the upper portion of the field, though not at the top. The CPU alone sits in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU in the 80th percentile among all GPUs. The gap between those individual percentiles and the combo’s overall rank suggests that Palworld’s performance is not purely a function of raw component strength; other tested combinations with similar or lower component percentiles may achieve better results in this specific game. The measured FPS data confirms that the pairing is capable of high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the rank indicates that many other combos outperform it in this title.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 35787 places it within a tight cluster of rivals. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo scores 35860, a delta of -0.2% relative to the RTX 3080, meaning the RTX 3080 is 0.2% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE scores 36101, a delta of -0.9%, so the RTX 3080 trails by 0.9%. The AMD Radeon 880M scores 35646, a delta of +0.4%, meaning the RTX 3080 is 0.4% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 35435, a delta of +1%, so the RTX 3080 leads by 1%. These deltas show that the GPU is competitive with a range of recent and mobile parts, but not dominant.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. It contains 28,300 million transistors on a 628 mm² die. The GPU has 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1440 MHz, with a boost clock of 1710 MHz; the memory runs at 1188 MHz, which translates to 19 Gbps effective. The shading units number 8704, with 272 TMUs and 96 ROPs. It also includes 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 164.2 GPixel/s, texture rate is 465.1 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 29.77 TFLOPS. The GPU has a TDP of 320 W and a suggested PSU of 700 W.

In Palworld, the measured FPS shows a clear scaling pattern with settings. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 84.8 on Low to 39.1 on Ultra. The drop from Medium (72.9) to High (51.9) to Ultra (39.1) indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed at 4K with higher presets. The 10 GB VRAM and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are substantial, but the data does not isolate VRAM usage; the FPS numbers alone show that Ultra at 4K falls below the level that most users would consider smooth. At 2560x1440, the GPU delivers 158.8 FPS on Low, 127.1 on Medium, 95.2 on High, and 71.6 on Ultra. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 100 FPS, with Low at 236.5, Medium at 194.4, High at 147.1, and Ultra at 112.2.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its position. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 4407. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 167014, and in Vulkan, 145176. Passmark G3D gives 25086, and Passmark GPU Compute gives 14397. These numbers, combined with the measured FPS, show that the RTX 3080 is a strong performer, but Palworld’s Ultra preset at 4K pushes it to its limits.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution. At 3840x2160, the Medium preset delivers 72.9 FPS, which is the highest average above 70 FPS; High drops to 51.9 and Ultra to 39.1. For a 4K display, Medium is the recommended setting to maintain a playable frame rate while preserving some visual quality. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still holds 71.6 FPS, so Ultra is viable; High offers 95.2 FPS for those who prefer a higher margin. At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 100 FPS, with Ultra at 112.2, so Ultra is the clear choice for maximum quality without sacrificing smoothness. The data shows that the RTX 3080 can handle 1080p and 1440p at the highest settings, but 4K requires a step down to Medium to stay above 70 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured average FPS for each resolution and preset is as follows:

• 3840x2160: Low 84.8, Medium 72.9, High 51.9, Ultra 39.1
• 2560x1440: Low 158.8, Medium 127.1, High 95.2, Ultra 71.6
• 1920x1080: Low 236.5, Medium 194.4, High 147.1, Ultra 112.2

At 4K, the spread from Low to Ultra is substantial: 84.8 down to 39.1. The Medium preset at 72.9 is the only one above 70 FPS. At 1440p, even Ultra stays above 70 FPS, and Low reaches 158.8. At 1080p, the lowest preset yields 236.5 FPS, while Ultra still provides 112.2. These numbers indicate that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K Ultra is not a realistic target for smooth play.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a desktop processor from the 7000 series, based on Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) and built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, and it supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It has an integrated Radeon Graphics unit, but the discrete RTX 3080 handles rendering in this test.

The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong. In Cinebench R23, it scores 29302 multi-core and 4136 single-core. In 3DMark, it scores 8484 with 16 threads, 6933 with 8 threads, 3931 with 4 threads, 2043 with 2 threads, and 1049 single-thread. Passmark multi-thread score is 34470, and single-thread is 4063. The CPU’s percentile vs all CPUs is 91, and its average benchmark score is 40468. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (avg 40431, delta 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40262, delta 0.5%), the Intel Core i9-13905H (40712, delta -0.6%), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T (39995, delta 1.2%). The 7700 sits within 0.6% of the i9-13905H and within 1.2% of the Core Ultra 5 235T, showing that it is competitive with a range of high-end mobile and desktop parts.

In Palworld, the CPU’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores suggest it can feed the GPU effectively. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 236.5, which is well above typical display refresh rates, indicating that the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 4K, the FPS drops to 39.1 on Ultra, but that is more likely due to GPU load than CPU capability, given the CPU’s strong benchmark results. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads are ample for a survival game like Palworld, which typically benefits from multiple threads for world simulation and AI. The data shows that the Ryzen 7 7700 provides a solid foundation for this GPU in Palworld, with no obvious CPU bottleneck visible in the measured FPS.
