This was fine for the most part, but felt just a little too rough for my liking, especially after romping around at 60fps. This makes it rather tricky to get a proper reading on what any given graphics card can actually manage in MHW, but when I set it to prioritise resolution, the frame rate took an instant tumble right down to around 40fps. Then I realised its dynamic resolution feature was turned on, which, irritatingly, you can't actually turn off. When I finally got to the options menu, the game's graphics settings had defaulted to Highest on 2560x1440, and for a while I was running around chopping up dinos at 60fps without a care in the world. Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB) / AMD Radeon RX 570X (4GB)Īt first, I was cautiously optimistic. Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 or Intel Core i3-8350 4GHz / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 / AMD Radeon R7 260X (VRAM 2GB)Īnd here's what Capcom recommend for playing on High at 1920x1080, albeit capped at 30fps: I'll be doing a more thorough graphics card test with Monster Hunter: World in the vein of my FFXV graphics performance round-up very soon, but after Capcom announced you'd need at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 to just about do 30fps at 1920x1080, I thought I'd take my GTX 1070Ti out for a spin before I got down into the nitty gritty.Īs a small refresher, here's are Monster Hunter: World's minimum specs: Let's see what my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070Ti made of it, shall we? Whisper it, but it's probably more monstrous than even Final Fantasy XV. The bad news? This game is an absolute beast and you'll probably need at least two graphics cards stitched together with jagras hide in order to make it work at the very best graphics settings and resolutions. The good news first: if you were worried about the game being capped at 30fps like the console versions, you'll be pleased to hear MHW has an uncapped frame rate option in its display settings, meaning the sky's the theoretical limit if you've got a monitor with a lovely high refresh rate. Greetings, hunters! Dinosaur hat-making sim Monster Hunter: World is coming out on PC very soon (August 9, to be precise), and I've been doing some early tinkering with its various graphics settings.
