Monster Hunter Wilds PC Benchmark Analysis
Testing Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Benchmark
Testing Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds’ PC Benchmark
Monster Hunter Wilds is coming to PC later this month, and to prepare for this launch, Capcom has released a dedicated PC benchmarking tool for the game. This allows PC gamers to see how their PCs perform across several test areas, including gameplay and cutscene simulations.
In this article, we will be diving deep into Monster Hunter Wild’s PC settings. This includes DLSS, FSR, and Frame Generation. Additionally, we will be looking at how the game performs across a wide range of graphics cards, both old and new.
At the end of each benchmark run, the tool will give gamers a score and average framerate information. Note that frame-generation techniques will lower benchmark scores due to their overhead. This benchmark only counts rendered/real frames for its final score. This is why Frame Generation increases Monster Hunter Wilds’ framerate and lowers the benchmark’s score.
GPU Drivers
When testing Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, we used the newest Nvidia and AMD GPU drivers available when the game launched. These drivers were AMD Software 25.1.1 and Nvidia’s GeForce 572.16 driver for Windows 10/11.
Test Setup – OC3D’s New Test Rig
Mid-2023, OC3D started conducting new game testing and GPU reviews on a new test system. Thanks to Corsair, Intel, and ASUS, we have created a new testing system that will allow us to properly test new graphics cards and the newest PC releases. This system features Intel’s i9-13900K processor and a ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming motherboard, with all other components coming from Corsair.
Our new test system is powered, cooled, and operated using Corsair components. The OS we will be using is Windows 11, and the case we will be using is Corsair’s airflow-optimised iCUE 5000T.
