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 68 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 57 to 92 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 19 to 41 FPS.
The Radeon RX590 GME is 48% below recommended, but 66% above minimum for Palworld. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i9-9900K).
Palworld supports: AFMF. The Radeon RX590 GME can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The Radeon RX590 GME 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.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $499. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 68 FPS, equivalent to 0.14 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Radeon RX590 GME sets the ceiling at about 25 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 132 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 81% (FPS gap: 107 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX590 GME 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 60% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 68% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 73% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 80% | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 80% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 53% below recommended and your GPU is 48% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX590 GME can run Palworld smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 68 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 48% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $499 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $115 GPU (Rank #19 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Palworld, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX590 GME 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Palworld supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX590 GME is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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.
