Best Palworld settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Palworld runs at roughly 100 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 101FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Palworld is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 100 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 100 FPS at 1080p and 81 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Palworld, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
