Best Monster Hunter Wilds settings for the NVIDIA RTX 5090 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 5090 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU), Monster Hunter Wilds runs at roughly 66 FPS at 4K with our optimized settings — up from about 67FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class graphics card with 32GB of VRAM, and Monster Hunter Wilds is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i9-14900K, it runs well at 4K — about 66 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 152 FPS at 1080p and 117 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 66 FPS at 4K. Monster Hunter Wilds supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 5090 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. Its 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Monster Hunter Wilds, so textures can stay maxed. 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.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSOff
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.
