This 'Pokémon with guns' survival game runs on Unreal Engine. It is CPU-heavy due to AI simulation for the many creatures. Memory leaks can occur in long sessions, making 16GB of RAM a practical minimum.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 96 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 89 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 55 to 102 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for Palworld. The Core i7-4710MQ is 25% below minimum CPU requirement.
The Core i7-4710MQ sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2027. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 96 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Core i7-4710MQ sets the ceiling at about 91 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 183 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 50% (FPS gap: 92 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core i7-4710MQ is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 47% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 43% | CPU Limits GPU 50% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 40% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 40% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Core i7-4710MQ paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Palworld smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 89 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 74% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2027 ($378 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 7845HX is a great upgrade option (Rank #1 for value).
For Palworld, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i7-4710MQ is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Palworld does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Palworld requires at minimum a Core i5-3570K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1050 (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 40 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i9-9900K and GeForce RTX 2070 with 32 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Palworld FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
