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 10 to 29 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 9 to 21 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 4 to 10 FPS.
The RTX 5880 Ada Generation is 55% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for Palworld. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i9-9900K).
The RTX 5880 Ada Generation 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: $6384. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 10 FPS, equivalent to 0 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the RTX 5880 Ada Generation sets the ceiling at about 5 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 80 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 94% (FPS gap: 75 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX 5880 Ada Generation 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 84% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 90% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 91% | GPU Limits CPU 93% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 93% |
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% above and your GPU is 55% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5880 Ada Generation will struggle to run Palworld at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 10 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $6384 ($384 CPU + $6000 GPU). Your RTX 5880 Ada Generation provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the RTX PRO 6000 for around $8565 (Rank #91 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your RTX 5880 Ada Generation is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Palworld performance right now. GPU fully utilized 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5880 Ada Generation both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
