Palworld

Palworld with the Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a strong performance profile across all tested resolutions, placing this combination in the 225th position out of 1,718 tested combos. The data indicates a system that excels at high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming while maintaining playable frame rates at 4K, with the CPU and GPU balance shifting predictably as resolution increases.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to High as the optimal settings preset for this combination across most resolutions. At 1920x1080, High produces an average of 180.7 FPS, which is 42.6 FPS higher than Ultra settings at 138.2 FPS, while the visual difference between High and Ultra is typically less impactful than the frame rate gap in a survival game where responsiveness matters. The Medium preset at 1080p reaches 239.7 FPS, but the jump from High to Medium sacrifices more visual fidelity than the additional 59 FPS justifies for most users.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 120.1 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 90 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh monitors. Medium at this resolution delivers 154.4 FPS, but the High preset strikes the better balance between image quality and performance headroom. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 91.4 FPS, still playable but with less margin for demanding scenes typical of base-building and exploration in Palworld.

For 3840x2160, High remains the recommended preset with 63.5 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Low preset at 4K reaches 105 FPS, but this comes with substantial visual compromises that undermine the point of 4K resolution. Medium at 4K delivers 84.3 FPS, and while this is technically smoother than High, the visual quality reduction is noticeable. Ultra at 4K drops to 49.9 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS target and is not recommended for sustained gameplay. The data shows that High provides the best experience per the measured rows, offering a playable frame rate at all three resolutions without excessive visual compromise.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates high refresh rate capability across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 294.6 FPS, Medium reaches 239.7 FPS, High delivers 180.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 138.2 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent frame rate reduction, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High (59 FPS difference). The gap between Low and Ultra is 156.4 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load on the GPU even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling impact. Low settings average 190.7 FPS, Medium 154.4 FPS, High 120.1 FPS, and Ultra 91.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 99.3 FPS, a proportionally smaller absolute drop than at 1080p but a similar relative reduction. The High preset's 120.1 FPS is notable as it maintains triple-digit performance at a higher resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor. Low settings still achieve 105 FPS, but Medium drops to 84.3 FPS, High to 63.5 FPS, and Ultra to 49.9 FPS. The progression shows a more dramatic falloff at 4K, with the gap between Low and Ultra reaching 55.1 FPS. The Ultra preset's sub-50 FPS average indicates that this setting is not suitable for 4K gaming with this configuration, while High remains playable.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. Comparing High settings across resolutions: 1080p delivers 180.7 FPS, 1440p delivers 120.1 FPS, and 4K delivers 63.5 FPS. This represents a 33.5% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 47.1% further reduction from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 64.9%, which aligns closely with the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 8.29 million pixels.

The Low preset shows similar scaling behavior: 294.6 FPS at 1080p, 190.7 FPS at 1440p (a 35.3% drop), and 105 FPS at 4K (a 44.9% further drop). The consistent proportional reductions across settings indicate that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting component at higher resolutions, while the i7-14700F provides sufficient headroom to avoid CPU bottlenecks even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 290 FPS.

The data also shows that the gap between settings narrows at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 156.4 FPS, but at 4K this gap shrinks to 55.1 FPS. This compression suggests that at 4K, the GPU is saturated even at Low settings, and the additional load from Ultra settings has a proportionally smaller impact on absolute frame rates. The i7-14700F's strong single-thread performance, as indicated by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5,003, helps maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions where CPU performance can become a factor.
