Palworld

Palworld, a Survival game released on 2024-01-18, is measured with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Intel Arc B580. The CPU is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 part from AMD's 9000 series, with a 3.80 GHz base clock, 5.50 GHz boost clock, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The GPU is Intel's Battlemage-generation Arc 5 card with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. The measured data set includes 12 average-FPS rows spanning three resolutions and the Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. This pairing ranks 1349th out of 1718 combinations in Palworld, and the database flags the rows as measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The clearest pattern in the data is that average FPS falls consistently as resolution climbs. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 93.7 at 1920x1080 to 59.8 at 2560x1440 and then to 32.8 at 3840x2160. The Low preset follows the same shape: 145.5 at 1080p, 95.8 at 1440p, and 52.1 at 4K. Medium goes from 116 at 1080p to 75.9 at 1440p and 43.5 at 4K. Ultra goes from 71 at 1080p to 45.5 at 1440p and 26.1 at 4K.

Every preset shows a heavy 4K penalty. The 4K Low result of 52.1 fps is lower than the 1440p High result of 59.8 fps, and the 4K High result of 32.8 fps is lower than the 1440p Ultra result of 45.5 fps. This means resolution can erase a one-step preset advantage. The 4K Ultra result of 26.1 fps is the lowest average in the entire measured set, while the 1080p Low result of 145.5 fps is the highest.

This scaling pattern points to the GPU as the limiting component at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 7 9700X's CPU-side metrics do not change between rows; the only things changing are resolution and settings. The CPU posts an aggregate score of 36029 and ranks in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. The measured frame-rate curve still collapses as pixel count increases, which is the expected signature of a GPU-heavy workload. At 1080p the card has enough headroom to push all four presets to at least 71 fps, but at 4K even the fastest preset stays at 52.1 fps.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580's memory and clock specifications help explain why the 4K results are limited. The card uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with memory bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. Its base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, and the memory runs at 2375 MHz, or 19 Gbps effective. The rendering pipeline includes 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. These resources translate into a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 throughput of 13.67 TFLOPS.

Those specifications produce a clear results hierarchy in Palworld. At 1080p High, the B580 averages 93.7 fps. At 1440p High, the average falls to 59.8 fps. At 4K High, it drops to 32.8 fps. The 12 GB frame buffer is constant across all measured rows, and the data set does not record VRAM usage separately; the observed difference between presets and resolutions is therefore tied to the rendering workload and the GPU's throughput limits rather than to a changing memory allocation. The memory bus is wide enough to supply 456.0 GB/s, but the 4K Ultra result of 26.1 fps shows that raw bandwidth alone does not keep the card above playable rates at extreme settings.

The B580's aggregate position supports this picture. It has an average benchmark score of 23021 and sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest-rival table lists the GeForce RTX 4060 with an avgScore of 23181 and a deltaPct of -0.7, the AMD Radeon 760M with 22999 and 0.1, the NVIDIA P106-100 with 22950 and 0.3, and the RTX 4060 Mobile with 22729 and 1.3. The Palworld results place the B580 clearly in the 1080p-ready tier, with workable 1440p performance at Medium and High, and a 4K experience that stays under 53 fps at every preset.

FAQ

Q: What is the fastest measured row in this Palworld data set?

A: The fastest average is 145.5 fps at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. The next fastest rows are 116 fps at 1080p Medium and 95.8 fps at 1440p Low.

Q: What is the slowest measured row?

A: The slowest is 26.1 fps at 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset. The second-slowest is 32.8 fps at 4K High, followed by 43.5 fps at 4K Medium.

Q: How does the Arc B580 compare with the GeForce RTX 4060 in the benchmark database?

A: The B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021, while the RTX 4060 has an avgScore of 23181 and a deltaPct of -0.7. The B580 also has a deltaPct of 0.1 against the AMD Radeon 760M and 1.3 against the RTX 4060 Mobile.

Q: What is the Ryzen 7 9700X's aggregate performance position?

A: The CPU has an average benchmark score of 36029 and ranks in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest-rival table lists a deltaPct of 0.2 for the Intel Core i5-14500HX and a deltaPct of -0.4 for the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H.

Q: Does the measured data include minimum or maximum FPS values?

A: No. Every row in the measuredFps data has minFps and maxFps set to null. The analysis is based entirely on average FPS values.

Q: What does the Medium preset achieve at each resolution?

A: Medium averages 116 fps at 1080p, 75.9 fps at 1440p, and 43.5 fps at 4K. It is the fastest non-Low preset at 1080p and 1440p, and at 4K it sits between Low's 52.1 and High's 32.8.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows make the settings trade-off straightforward. At 1080p, every preset stays above 71 fps, with Low at 145.5, Medium at 116, High at 93.7, and Ultra at 71. The 1080p Medium result is particularly strong because it leaves a large gap over High and Ultra while using a quality row above Low.

At 1440p, Medium remains the strongest balance: 75.9 fps, compared to 95.8 at Low, 59.8 at High, and 45.5 at Ultra. The 1440p High result of 59.8 fps is usable but sits much closer to the boundary, and 1440p Ultra drops to 45.5 fps. If the goal is to stay at a High-class visual setting, 1080p High is the best measured option, since the same preset at 1440p loses over 30 fps and at 4K falls to 32.8 fps.

At 4K, the data supports Low as the only preset with a clear margin above the other 4K rows. Low averages 52.1 fps, Medium 43.5, High 32.8, and Ultra 26.1. The 4K Medium result is still below the 1440p Medium result by 32.4 fps, which indicates that 4K should be reserved for Low or Medium only. Across the whole measured matrix, Medium is the most consistent recommendation: it produces 116 fps at 1080p, 75.9 fps at 1440p, and 43.5 fps at 4K, making it the highest settings tier with a strong frame-rate margin over the next preset at every resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS breakdown for Palworld with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Intel Arc B580 is listed below. All values are average FPS.

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | 145.5 | 116 | 93.7 | 71 |

| 2560x1440 | 95.8 | 75.9 | 59.8 | 45.5 |

| 3840x2160 | 52.1 | 43.5 | 32.8 | 26.1 |

Within each resolution, the preset ordering is consistent: Low is faster than Medium, Medium is faster than High, and High is faster than Ultra. Within each preset, 1080p is faster than 1440p, and 1440p is faster than 4K. The widest spread appears at 1080p, where Low's 145.5 fps is more than double the 4K Ultra result of 26.1 fps. The data set is fully measured, contains no min or max values, and is the basis for the resolution, GPU, and settings analysis above.
