Optimal Graphics Settings for Monster Hunter Wilds Revealed

*Monster Hunter Wilds* is a visually stunning game, but achieving the best performance while maintaining high-quality visuals can be a challenge. Here are the best graphics settings to optimize your gameplay experience in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds System Requirements

If you're aiming for higher resolutions or max settings, you'll need a high-end GPU with ample VRAM and a powerful CPU. Check out where you can order *Monster Hunter Wilds* for your preferred platform.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Graphics Settings

Whether you have a high-end RTX 4090 or a budget RX 5700XT, optimizing the graphics settings in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can significantly improve performance without sacrificing much visual quality. In modern games, the visual difference between Ultra and High settings is often minimal, but the performance gain can be substantial.

Display Settings

• **Screen Mode:** Personal Preference; Bordered Fullscreen is better if you frequently tab out.
• **Resolution:** Your monitor's native resolution.
• **Frame Rate:** Match your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 144, 240).
• **V-Sync:** Off to reduce input lag.

Graphics Settings

These settings prioritize visual fidelity over raw FPS, which is suitable since *Monster Hunter Wilds* is not a competitive game. However, every PC build is unique, so feel free to adjust if you're experiencing low frame rates. Start by lowering Shadows and Ambient Occlusion, as they are the most resource-intensive. Reducing distant shadows and shadow distance can also significantly boost FPS. Additionally, turning down Water Effects and Sand/Snow Quality can help manage VRAM usage.
