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 218 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 160 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 112 FPS.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition is 161% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for Palworld. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 78% above the recommended CPU (Core i9-9900K).
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition sets the FPS ceiling at 4k (medium/high/ultra), while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $8664.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 218 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k medium, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition sets the ceiling at about 146 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 162 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 10% (FPS gap: 16 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, 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 78% above and your GPU is 161% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition can run Palworld smoothly up to 4k achieving around 112 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 161% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 78% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $8664.38 ($465.38 CPU + $8199 GPU). Your RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition 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.
Your RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition 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: 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 9800X3D and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition 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.
