What limits performance in Monster Hunter: World

The graphics card: frame rates in Monster Hunter: World rise with GPU speed.

Graphics card (GPU)

Main limit

60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 39 FPS.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

Monster Hunter: World recommends a Core i7-3770 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for Monster Hunter: World, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

3 GB (rec. spec)

Publisher note: 4 GB needed for DirectX 12 mode

The recommended spec lists 3 GB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.

Settings to lower first in Monster Hunter: World

  1. 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Monster Hunter: World offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
  2. 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
  3. 3Texture quality last: it costs little frame rate as long as your card has enough video memory.
