Can you run Monster Hunter: World? PC requirements and settings
Monster Hunter: World, by CAPCOM Co., Ltd. (Action), came out on Steam on August 8, 2018.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (VRAM 3GB) or GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 480 or RX 570
Minimum cardNVIDIAGeForceGTX 760 or GTX1050 or AMD Radeon R7 260x or RX 560
Recommended RAM8 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a Radeon RX 7600
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Monster Hunter: World by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Monster Hunter: World doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p |
| GeForce RTX 5070 | High111–153 fps | High72–99 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High97–134 fps | High63–87 fps |

| Intel Arc B580 | High65–89 fps | High + XeSS Quality56–78 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | High63–87 fps | High + DLSS Quality55–75 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High61–84 fps | High + FSR Balanced60–82 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High + DLSS Quality72–99 fps | Medium + DLSS Quality60–85 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | High + FSR Quality67–93 fps | Medium + FSR Quality56–78 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | Medium + FSR Quality60–83 fps | Low + FSR Balanced58–81 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high
settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
