Monster Hunter Wilds: PC Benchmark & System Specs Revealed

Monster Hunter Wilds is just weeks away, and Capcom has released a PC benchmark tool on Steam to help players determine system compatibility. Conveniently, they've also lowered the official PC system requirements.

Capcom's benchmark tool, available now on Steam, allows for easy assessment of your PC's performance. It compiles shaders upon launch but otherwise runs smoothly, providing valuable insights, especially considering the updated system requirements.

Previously, achieving 1080p at 60fps with Frame Generation required a powerful setup. Now, the recommended specifications for 1080p (FHD) at 60fps with Frame Generation are significantly more accessible:

OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) / Windows 11 (64-bit) Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / Intel Core i3-12100 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Memory: 16 GB Graphics Card (GPU): GeForce RTX 2060 Super / Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM) Storage: 75 GB SSD (Solid State Drive required)

These updated requirements, according to Capcom, should deliver a smooth 1080p 60fps experience with Frame Generation enabled. The changes represent a noticeable improvement in accessibility.

Early benchmark results suggest improved performance compared to the beta, particularly with Frame Generation enabled. However, Steam Deck compatibility remains questionable.

Beyond the processor updates, the storage requirement has been significantly reduced from 140 GB to 75 GB. This is a surprising decrease, especially considering the trend of ever-increasing game file sizes.
