[Monster Hunter Wilds] A must-see for heavy and laggy people! Recommended graphics settings to keep FPS at 60

First of all, the main premise: The real cause of FPS drops

There are three main reasons why Monster Hunter Wilds becomes difficult.

1. GPU load too high
2. CPU processing is not keeping up
3. Excessive frame generation/calculation effects

In particular, ③ “Settings that look good but require heavy processing” is enabled by default.

Goal setting: Prioritize FPS to “60 fixed”

• In action games, Stability is the top priority
• Changes like 80→40FPS are the most stressful
• It feels overwhelmingly more comfortable to maintain 60 all the time

The following settings are based on
60FPS stability in a Full HD to WQHD environment.

Recommended graphic settings (this is the main story)

Resolution・Drawing Week

• Resolution: Your monitor’s native resolution
• Resolution scaling: Off
• Variable resolution: On (great for FPS stability)

👉 Variable resolution lowers the internal resolution only when the load temporarily increases, so it is highly effective even though it does not look visually strange.

Shadow (the most important and heaviest)

• Video quality: Medium
• Shadow resolution: Low to Medium
• Soft Shadow: Off

The shadow is a chunk of GPU load.
Although the difference in appearance between “high” and “medium” is small,
the FPS difference is considerable.

Effects (Cause of eating up FPS)

• Ambient Occlusion: Off or Low
• Motion Blur: Off
• The depth of writing: オフ
• Bloom: Preference (off if heavy)

👉 Motion blur and depth of field, in particular,
can be turned off without changing the gaming experience.

Texture model system (VRAM dependent)

• Texture quality: High (OK if VRAM 8GB or more)
• Model quality: Medium
• LOD Distance: Medium

If you have enough VRAM (grabo memory), don’t lower it too much.
If you force it down, the screen will become cheap.

Grass/environment description (quite heavy)

• Plant density: low to medium
• Environmental details: Medium

Since this is an area that is rarely seen while hunting,
lowering it has little effect on the immersion.

Frame rate related (required settings)

• FPS上限：60
• VSync: Off (instead FPS limit)
• NVIDIA Reflex / AMD Anti-Lag：オン

By applying FPS limit,

• Preventing frame movement
• Reducing heat generation and power consumption
• Reduced stutter

It’s full of good things.

Settings that must be done on the PC side

グラボ settings (NVIDIA example)

• Power management mode: Maximize performance
• Vertical sync: leave it to the app
• Low Latency Mode: On

Similarly, turn off “power saving” on AMD.

Close background apps

• Discord overlay
• Browser (especially video)
• Recording/distribution software

This alone can usually improve
5-10 FPS.

A last resort for people who are still heavy

• Shadow quality set to “low”
• Ambient occlusion completely turned off
• Lower the resolution by one level (WQHD → FHD, etc.)

If you do this,
60FPS will be stable in most environments.

Summary: Depending on the settings, it will be a different game

Monster Hunter Wilds

• Initial setting is “high load”
• FPS tends to be sacrificed due to emphasis on appearance

.

However,

• Precisely turn off only heavy settings
• Fix FPS to 60
• Use variable resolution

With just this,
the operating feel becomes a whole new level of comfort.

Before you give up and think that it’s too heavy because it’s your PC,
Please try this setting once.
