Can the NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) run Monster Hunter Wilds? (2026)

⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~30 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Monster Hunter Wilds is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 30 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 11 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	11	30
1440p	7	18
4K	4	10

💡 Monster Hunter Wilds: Notoriously CPU-heavy and stutter-prone; frame generation helps a lot.

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

At 1080p expect around 30 FPS, at 1440p about 18 FPS, and at 4K roughly 10 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
