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, frame rates range from 31 to 83 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 24 to 49 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 8 to 20 FPS.
The Arc A550M is 44% below recommended, but 79% above minimum for Palworld. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i9-9900K).
The Arc A550M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Arc A550M sets the ceiling at about 9 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 132 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 93% (FPS gap: 123 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Arc A550M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 85% | GPU Limits CPU 87% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 84% | GPU Limits CPU 86% | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 89% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 91% | GPU Limits CPU 93% | GPU Limits CPU 92% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Arc A550M pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 20% and 61% and GPU utilization between 91% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Arc A550M carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 98% at 1080p to 98% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 49% to 41%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1080p (Full HD) Medium, the Arc A550M averages 100% usage (99-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 54% (52-56%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 49% and GPU 98%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 43% and GPU 98%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 41% and GPU 98%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 59% (57-61%) and GPU 93% (91-95%), which keeps Arc A550M well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The Arc A550M reaches 100% average load at 1080p (Full HD) Medium while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Arc A550M will struggle to run Palworld at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 31 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Palworld, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Arc A550M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
