Note: Palworld supports Nvidia’s DLSS technology. However, you will need a DLSS-capable graphics card, so at least a GPU from the RTX 2000 series. The best settings for Palworld can also be found on MeinMMO.
With a trick you can boost your performance in Palworld without DLSS, but it will cost you about 5 euros.
What do the numbers mean? “Minimum requirements” means that you can play the game at all. This often means gaming at 720p (HD) with 30 FPS and low settings. So don’t expect too much.
Palworld system requirements in practical tests – Where does the game run?
How well does Palworld run? In the office, we tested Palworld on several systems:
- On a system with Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6500 XT and 16 GB RAM, the game runs at medium details with 30 FPS at Full HD (1080p). However, the weak GPU is pushing the limits. A faster GPU is recommended.
- In another test, we swapped the Radeon RX 6500 XT for the faster RX 6600, with the rest staying the same. Now Palworld runs significantly better, and the graphics card is much quieter.
- On a system with Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Radeon RX 6700 XT and 32 GB RAM, the game runs stably at high settings with 90 FPS at a WQHD resolution (1440p).
- On the Steam Deck, the game also runs very stably at medium settings with a 30 FPS limit.
- We installed the game on both an SSD and a hard disk (HDD) for testing. Palworld starts from both, but it is noticeably slower on the HDD.
What alternatives are there? Alternatively, you can also play Palworld on Xbox Series X|S. Here you get a very stable performance, and crossplay is also possible to some extent. When Palworld will be released for PS5 and Nintendo Switch can also be found on MeinMMO.
