This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 141 FPS, while the Ryzen Embedded V2748 has headroom up to 171 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 30 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 6/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen Embedded V2748 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | Balanced |
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 Embedded V2748 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 38% and 49% and GPU utilization between 69% and 97%. Ryzen Embedded V2748 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 82% at 1080p to 89% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 46% to 40%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 92% usage (87-97%), while the Ryzen Embedded V2748 stays at 44% (42-45%). 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 46% and GPU 82%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 43% and GPU 89%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 40% and GPU 89%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 41% (41-41%) and GPU 88% (81-94%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen Embedded V2748 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen Embedded V2748 and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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.

Yes, the Ryzen Embedded V2748 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Palworld smoothly up to 4k achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 18% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2008 ($359 CPU (Rank #341 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 GeForce RTX 4090 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: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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.
