Best Monster Hunter Wilds settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Monster Hunter Wilds runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 39FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Monster Hunter Wilds is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 39 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 37 FPS at 4K. Monster Hunter Wilds supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Monster Hunter Wilds at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Monster Hunter Wilds: Notoriously CPU-heavy and stutter-prone; frame generation helps a lot.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS
Monster Hunter Wilds supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required for a smooth experience at 1440p and above.
Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Ray-traced ambient occlusion and reflections. A real cost for a subtle gain - Off is fine for high FPS in hunts.
Texture QualityHighest-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. Keep High on 8GB cards.
Mesh QualityHighbaseline
Geometry/polygon detail on monsters, gear and the world. High is a strong trade over Highest.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and contact shadows. High over Highest is a reliable saving.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Grass / Tree QualityHighbaseline
Grass and tree density across the Forbidden Lands. A real cost in open areas.
Fur QualityHighbaseline
Monster and gear fur detail. Drops most during close-up fights - lower it to stay smooth.
Sky / Cloud QualityHighbaseline
Volumetric sky, fog and clouds. A meaningful cost for the heavy atmosphere - Medium frees frames.
Screen Space ReflectionsHighbaseline
Reflections on water and shiny surfaces. Medium is a clean trade.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; lighter modes gain a touch of FPS.
