PC Benchmark Available for Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds PC Benchmark Released, System Requirements Lowered

With Monster Hunter Wilds launching in just weeks, Capcom has released a PC benchmark tool on Steam, allowing players to test their system's compatibility. Simultaneously, the game's PC system requirements have been significantly reduced.

The benchmark tool, available now on Steam, requires shader compilation upon launch but is otherwise straightforward to run. This is particularly helpful given the updated system requirements.

Previously, achieving 1080p at 60fps with Frame Generation enabled demanded a powerful setup. The original specifications included an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, or AMD Radeon RX 6700XT GPU; an Intel Core i5-11600K, Intel Core i5-12400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, or AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU; and 16GB of RAM.

However, the updated requirements, detailed alongside the benchmark, are considerably less demanding:

OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) / Windows 11 (64-bit) Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / Intel Core i3-12100 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Memory: 16 GB Graphics Card (GPU): GeForce RTX 2060 Super / Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM) Storage: 75 GB (SSD required)

These specifications should deliver a smooth 1080p 60fps experience with Frame Generation enabled, according to Capcom.

Early benchmark results suggest improved performance compared to the beta, especially with Frame Generation. However, Steam Deck compatibility remains uncertain.

A notable change is the reduced storage requirement. The game now needs only 75GB of SSD space, down from the previously stated 140GB. This is surprising, given the typical trend of increasing game sizes.
