❌ Not really

~28 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GT 1030 (GDDR5) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and Monster Hunter: World is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 28 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 13 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	13	28
1440p	8	17
4K	4	9

💡 Monster Hunter: World: Volume Rendering is by far the heaviest setting - set it to Low first. The hi-res texture pack needs 8GB+ VRAM.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 28 FPS, at 1440p about 17 FPS, and at 4K roughly 9 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
