Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in the Monster Hunter franchise, and continues its legacy with spectacular monster boss fights and a breathtaking open world. If you own the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 or are eyeing it for a purchase, Monster Hunter Wilds is an ideal testing ground for the card’s performance. The game runs on Capcom’s RE Engine and is tuned to reduce CPU workload by relying more on frame generation. With the RTX 5060’s DLSS 4 promising the most advanced frame generation technology in the lineup to date, let’s evaluate whether it can run the game smoothly.

Key Considerations for Performance

While the RTX 5060 meets the recommended system VRAM of 8 GB, to run the game smoothly, it has to be accompanied by a CPU that doesn’t bottleneck performance.
- Intel Core i5-10400, Intel Core i3-12100, or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 are the recommended CPUs for the game. If your processor is similar to or better than these, then it should have no issues with the game’s workload.
The game requires 16 GB of RAM to run well. Ensure that you have 16 GB of RAM available for a smooth experience with the RTX 5060.
If your frame rate suffers too much, you can tweak the following settings since they have a substantial impact on performance: Shadow Distance, Texture Quality, Ambient Occlusion, Sky, Tree, and Sand Quality, Render Distance, Shadow Quality, and Ambient Light Quality.
