    Ultimate MH Wilds Performance Benchmark Guide

    The "Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark" is a free tool released by Capcom to help players evaluate their PC's performance for the upcoming game, Monster Hunter Wilds. Here are the key details:

    Features of the Benchmark

    • Purpose: Simulates gameplay scenarios to measure your system's performance through a demo of in-game scenes.
    • Output: Provides a performance score and average FPS. Scores are categorized to indicate playability:
      • 20000+: Excellent (Very comfortable to play)
      • 13000–19999: Good (Comfortable to play)
      • 10250–12999: Playable (No major issues)

      • 5200–6999: Significant settings changes required
      • Below 5199: Difficult to operate.

    Technical Details

    • Download Size: Approximately 29 GB.
    • Platform: Available on Steam for free.
    • Graphics Options: Allows users to test various resolutions and presets, including features like AMD FSR and Nvidia DLSS for upscaling. Frame generation is also supported but may slightly reduce performance scores due to processing overhead.
    • System Requirements: Players must meet the game's minimum requirements to run the benchmark effectively. It does not guarantee identical performance in the full game but provides a close approximation.

    Performance Insights

    • The benchmark includes in-engine cutscenes, character traversal, and environmental flyovers to test CPU and GPU demands.
    • On high-end systems, such as those with an Nvidia RTX 3080, the benchmark achieves around 50 FPS on ultra settings at 1440p. Lowering settings can improve performance while maintaining visual quality.
    • The benchmark has been found unplayable on devices like the Steam Deck, even at the lowest settings, due to severe stuttering and low frame rates.
