How much is a Monster Hunter World PC demanded? Does it really survive the CPU as the closed beta cover seems to suggest? And if so, what PC hardware is actually required to run the game at 60 fixed frames per second? We have gone to war expectation – lowering the CPU requirements is more of a challenge with a much smaller operating room than the graphics settings. But after extensive testing, the fact is that it's actually the GPU side of the equation that makes using this title a bit more complicated – and even the GTX 1070 running at 1080p just can't lock 60 frames per second in larger settings.
That kind of performance of such a skilled GPU actually shows some kind of CPU problem. However, we've implemented that very quickly. Similar gameplay environments that challenge the Ryzen 7 1700X / GTX 1070 system usually work in the mid-50s or so when the GTX 1080 Ti-class hardware is paired with a Pentium G5400 or Ryzen 3 2200G. We chose this Hardware especially as these are the cheapest, most powerful gaming CPUs available on Intel and AMD, which are top-tier GPU graphics. Completely bound by the CPU, we can judge the requirements of a low-speed processor and based on these tests, a standard quad-core Intel chip or eight-speed Ryzen standard should provide enough horsepower to deliver 60fps – on the CPU side at at least. Capcom specifically recommends that for its recommended processor types too.
With that established, the course of tests is changing – as determined by the GPU, the Monster Hunter World's GPU requirements for complexity can be addressed by the graphics and graphics quality. Not only that, but we also have available versions to look at where Capcom developers have chosen to do their jobs, and where to follow. This is an introduction others Difficulty as the title operates at a fixed rate, which is not open to the whole framework on all console platforms and moreover, and has different uses for specification. At the extreme end, its mode that & # 39; s choosing graphics & # 39; it works at 1080p on the Xbox One and only produces 30-40fps – not a good return for our six teraflops and the existing evidence that the GPU is actually a key factor to slow down this topic.
It's our full Monster Hunter World video split on PC – and it's a challenge to say its best performance.
So where do we start? The game is packed in detail, so keeping the look as good as the X's possible includes leaving the LOD settings upgraded, unlocking plant springs. Both of these settings can greatly improve performance when you put them together, but they depend on the area – if you're not looking for a lot of leaves, you're obviously not going to grow much.
The quality of the shade on the Xbox One X is a strange mixture of high quality shades paired with a low drag range – it's worse than a PC in its worst. For the sake of fit or better, we would suggest sticking with higher settings. Interestingly, there is very little you can get down from the top to the middle, so resolving this set is the best policy. Integration quality should be left to full & # 39; s use & # 39 ;, similar to the Xbox One X in many areas. However, some formats are not completely resolved on PC, even if there is free VRAM – a nuisance of hope that Capcom is currently talking about, other areas of the game aren't looking their best.
Alternatively, the similarities between the PC and console & # 39; s can be locked down – the X uses the display of the screen space (there is / is a PC switch) while the side occlusion is the same as the center PC. The lower surface propagation is enabled, while the anisotropic filtering is similar to the PC output at 8x. Other settings such as SH diffuse resolution, HDR depth or lighting quality are very difficult to wipe down – we'd prefer a low, 32-bit and high resolution sequences for the closest game of console convenience. That simply leaves out the z-prepass and water reflections. We suggest leaving it both open, but it seems that the water doesn't work perfectly on the PC version, with the Xbox One X delivering a much better look.
| GTX 1070 / 1080p | On / Off | High | Medium | Down | Off |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOD Bias | – | 100% | Up to 155% | Up to 160% | – |
| Volumes | 100% | 107% | 109% | 113% | 120% |
| Ambient Occlusion | – | 100% | 107% | 108% | – |

Taking those settings into gameplay, the GTX 1070 still can't deliver a locked 1080p60 so, achieving the same performance on the 1060 and the RX 580 is impossible – so it's time to install the settings further, reducing costs but maintaining more reliability. as much as possible. The simplest winners are the volumetrics and the SH variation solution, where in gameplay at least, there isn't much of a difference to watch. Turn the last one down if you haven't already, and adjust the previous one separately. Monster Hunter has some powerful settings – including resolution – that are very helpful in keeping you running. Adaptable volumetrics look to offer the same experience as the Xbox One X in general and saves a lot of functionality.
Even with these modest features, Monster Hunter World settings are still seeing GPU-related drops and seem to be prone to losing too much operation of alpha-heavy scenes. Putting the RX 580 and GTX 1060 on the head, the AMD card seems to be generally faster, but those issues have far greater impact than GeForce with its obvious, bad stutter. A lot of great work can be done back with the LOD tuning adjustment, but this will take you below the console's best display and is definitely in the game, introducing some distractions. But if you want to increase your independence, this is the easy way forward.
The final threshold for achieving 60 fps on mid-range GPUs while maintaining high LODs was to test Monster Hunter's powerful rating options. First, there are optional resolution options that keep HUD in traditional resolution, while 3D objects are presented in a low pixel-count environment. Taking 1080p output, converts the average resolution down to a buffer to 90 percent for each axis, providing an internal pixel count of 1728×972 Medium Adapting sees this decrease to 75 percent by 1440×810. But most impressive is the fact that there are adjustable options that change the load adjustment by load, when choosing a frame rate, such as 60fps.
By choosing & # 39; s choice to prioritize & # 39; the option, the time limit for the frame and the resolution drops are even stronger – to the point where we couldn't see it doing anything in our chosen settings. By setting the cash rate & # 39; s rate, the solution allows more effort to maintain performance – and this is our magic button on the PC to get that extra boost at speeds of less than 60fps. He does the job well enough, but Capcom's solution to the impact is not entirely good. There is a & # 39; gap & # 39; a few frames as it goes between decisions, introducing a particular stutter.
So, in a sense, we've failed in our quest – locking in 1080p60 on a PC with a set of Xbox One X-level displays is a lot easier and compromises need to be made. Well, the game still looks great, but I can't help but feel that the settings of this game have not provided enough glamor. The main difference between the standard and high-resolution LOD settings in outdoor environments is telling. Many mid-range options might make sense here with a setup that has a surprising effect on GPU performance. The high-end setup here looks good, but it's expensive – and the medium and low-tech boosts performance, but it also looks a lot, much worse. In addition to this lack of granularity, I think the fact that some of the current features look worse than the Xbox One X and the fact that the water screen display doesn't work well suggests that further testing would actually help the PC release.
And to deal with things beyond observation, Monster Hunter World has some issues & # 39; s quality of life & # 39; navigation menu. There are so many menus and accents allowed in the game that it uses it to create a tired experience, while the lack of basic stop-work is annoying. The classic ALT-F4 fall-back doesn't work and in other game sequences, the only way we could completely stop the game was to go back to the desktop, access the Windows task manager and kill the process there.
In the end, what we have here is a port that is not overly complex in memory or CPU, but actually executes your GPU hard if you want to enjoy the game at the right time, even at very low resolutions like 1080p. The remainder of the bugs and graphics are a little tricky, while additional depth in settings can also help out some of the distance to those with mid-range PCs. Currently it is a challenge for 1080p athletes such as the RX 580 and GTX 1060 to deliver good, solid performance at 60fps without losing a solution with a solid chartr, or otherwise losing detail with a significant LOD setting. Hopefully there will be a pool that will deal with bugs – but we would like to think that Capcom can chase a bigger boat and do more to fix its title issues.
