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 219 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 175 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 103 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070) for Palworld. The Xeon Silver 4410Y is 11% above the recommended CPU (Core i9-9900K).
The GeForce RTX 4090 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, executing at maximum capacity.
At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 138 FPS, while the Xeon Silver 4410Y has headroom up to 167 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 17% (FPS gap: 29 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Xeon Silver 4410Y frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Xeon Silver 4410Y + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 28% and 67% and GPU utilization between 71% and 98%. Xeon Silver 4410Y keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 84% at 1080p to 88% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 55% to 45%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 92% usage (85-98%), while the Xeon Silver 4410Y stays at 50% (38-61%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 55% and GPU 84%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 49% and GPU 88%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 45% and GPU 88%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 56% (47-64%) and GPU 87% (76-98%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon Silver 4410Y remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon Silver 4410Y and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

Yes, the Xeon Silver 4410Y paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Palworld smoothly up to 4k achieving around 103 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 11% above the recommended requirements.
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.
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: 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 Xeon Silver 4410Y and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
