Everything you need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta’s PC optimization, including the best settings for optimal performance.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ second Open Beta Test is currently live on all platforms. The Open Beta is a great way to test out not only the game but also your PC, ahead of the official release. Although the game is built using Capcom’s robustRE Engine, it’s still quite demanding in terms of system resources. Much like Dragon’s Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Wilds is incredibly CPU-intensive.
Furthermore, the game also requires a lot of VRAM to output at native resolutions. Capcom has implemented fixes to the game’s performance based on players’ feedback after the first Open Beta Test. However, those fixes aren’t going to be reflected in the Open Beta Test version of the game.
The second Open Beta essentially uses the same older version of the game as the very first playtest. As such, you will find the game’s performance to be quite uneven, especially if you don’t have a high-end CPU. However, with a few tweaks, you can get the OBT running quite smoothly on your PC. Here’s a comprehensive PC optimization guide for Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta.
Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta PC System Requirements
The Open Beta shares the same system requirements as the base Monster Hunter Wilds. Here are the minimum and recommended PC system requirements:
Recommended
Do note that the Open Beta is only24 GBin file size. Furthermore, the download size for the OBT is21 GB.
Best Settings for Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta
Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta, much like other RE Engine titles, is mostly CPU-bound. Although it does require a good amount of VRAM at higher resolutions, at 1080p or even 1440p, 8GB of VRAM is more than enough. Furthermore, the Beta seems to rely heavily on upscalers.
While you may run the game at native resolutions, it’s definitely not recommended unless you’re running a top-of-the-line GPU. The settings that affect performance the most are –Texture Quality,Shadow Quality,Shadow Render Distance, andVolumetric Fog. That said, here are the best settings to use in Monster Hunter Wilds’ Open Beta:
Frame Generation
The game recommends usingFrame Generationwhen you first boot it up on your PC. Although Frame Generation can add to the overall latency, withNvidia Reflexenabled, it shouldn’t feel too egregious, especially on a controller. Moreover, enabling Frame Generation does bump the frame rate well past 60fps on mid-range systems. That being said, if you’re okay with lowering some settings and using a frame rate cap, you won’t need to use Frame Generation.
