The Game is pretty CPU bound and doesn't scale well with many cores. You can try the new Vulcan mode or try this in valheim_Data\boot.config
Be warned that Vulkan AND this options enabled may boost your FPS significantly, but will occasionally crash your game - including resetting you Character to a previous save (it obviously doesn't save if it crashes and your Chars are stored client side).
So try Vulcan or this options, not both.

This shifts some workload from CPU to GPU. Be warned that Vulkan AND this options enabled may boost your FPS significantly, but will occasionally crash your game - including resetting you Character to a previous save (it obviously doesn't save if it crashes and your Chars are stored client side).
