Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.

Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Palworld by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Palworld doesn't offer it, use the level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 5070 | High76–105 fps | High + DLSS Quality66–91 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High67–92 fps | High + DLSS Quality58–79 fps |
| Radeon RX 7800 XT | High73–100 fps | High + FSR Quality63–87 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | High + DLSS Quality70–95 fps | Medium + DLSS Quality59–81 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | High + DLSS Quality70–95 fps | Medium + DLSS Quality59–81 fps |
| Intel Arc B580 | High + XeSS Quality59–82 fps | Medium + XeSS Balanced55–78 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | High + DLSS Quality58–79 fps | Low + DLSS Quality66–91 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High + FSR Quality56–78 fps | Low + FSR Quality64–89 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High + DLSS Balanced55–76 fps | Low + DLSS Quality56–78 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | Medium + FSR Quality60–82 fps | Low + FSR Balanced58–81 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | Low + FSR Quality56–76 fps | Low + FSR Balancedcapped at 40 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory, hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

Questions
Palworld at a glance
Which graphics card do I need for Palworld at 1080p?
The publisher recommends: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6700 XT. By our conservative estimate, high settings hold 60 frames per second at 1080p with a GeForce RTX 3080, and a Radeon RX 6600 gets there with lower settings.
What are the best graphics settings for Palworld on an RTX 4060?
For 60 frames per second at 1080p, ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick High + DLSS Quality settings: between 58 and 79 frames per second according to our conservative estimate.
Can I run Palworld on an RTX 3060?
By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 3060 runs Palworld at 1080p on low settings, between 65 and 89 frames per second.
Can I run Palworld on an RTX 4060?
By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 4060 runs Palworld at 1080p on medium settings, between 56 and 77 frames per second.
How much RAM does Palworld need?
The publisher recommends 32 GB of RAM (minimum: 16 GB).
How much storage does Palworld take?
The official page asks for 40 GB of storage.
How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
