Storage Note

An SSD is listed as a mandatory requirement for both minimum and recommended tiers. This is critical for loading the large, seamless open-world environments and minimizing asset streaming stutter.

General Notes

Overall Note

OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Monster Hunter Wilds. This information is based on official PC specifications from Capcom, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a demanding open-world title on the RE Engine, the requirements are notable, especially for higher resolutions. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks and technical analyses.

Laptop Performance Note

Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a CPU and GPU intensive game like Monster Hunter Wilds, a high-TGP GPU and a robust cooling system are essential for a stable framerate in dense environments and during chaotic hunts.

Laptop Consideration: GPU TGP

A high TGP is crucial. A low-power variant of a recommended GPU will likely struggle to maintain target framerates, especially when many monsters and particle effects are on screen.

Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals

The RE Engine can heavily tax both the CPU and GPU in open-world settings. A high-performance cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling during long hunts and in populated hub areas.

Laptop Consideration: CPU Power Limits

The game features a complex, living ecosystem, making a strong laptop CPU with good power delivery vital for maintaining stable minimum framerates and reducing stutter.

Laptop Consideration: MUX Switch Optimus

A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize latency and ensure the GPU's full performance is utilized, which is critical for the game's fast-paced, precise combat.

Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech

The game supports a full suite of upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. Frame Generation is also supported and mentioned in the official requirements as a way to reach 60 FPS on recommended hardware. The game also supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster asset loading on compatible systems.

Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact

Performance will be most affected by settings like Volumetric Fog, Shadow Quality, and overall model detail. The game's dynamic weather and dense ecosystems will also be demanding, particularly on the CPU in certain scenarios.
