Can I Run Palworld?

Palworld is a modern game tuned to run well on mid-range hardware without needing a flagship GPU. Here's estimated FPS across real graphics cards at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, and the minimum card you'd want for a smooth 60 FPS.

Is Palworld CPU or GPU intensive?

Palworld is fairly balanced but leans CPU-bound at high frame rates — it doesn't need a flagship GPU, so a faster CPU does more for your FPS once you're on a mid-range card or better.
