How to get the best frame rate in Monster Hunter: World
The publisher's minimum for Monster Hunter: World is NVIDIAGeForceGTX 760 or GTX1050 or AMD Radeon R7 260x or RX 560 with Intel Core i5 4460 or Core i3 9100F or AMD FX-6300 or Ryzen 3 3200G, and the recommended hardware is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (VRAM 3GB) or GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 480 or RX 570. We treat the recommended hardware as the setup that holds about 60 fps at 1080p on High.
In our estimates a GeForce GTX 1650 is about the weakest card that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p, a GeForce GTX 1660 does the same at 1440p, and a GeForce RTX 2070 at 4K. Cards below that can still play the game, at Medium or Low.
In competitive games frame rate and low latency matter more than looks. Use Low or Medium shadows and effects, keep textures as high as your video memory allows, and aim to stay above your monitor's refresh rate.
