Additionally, both Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR upscaling are available for supported cards, which you can use to gain a performance boost. The Frame Generation feature is also available, but we don't recommended it unless you are on a 40 series card. Turning on Frame Generation will add input lag that can ruin the game's experience.

Like previous Monster Hunter Wilds open beta tests, the finished game is extremely CPU intensive, but is comparatively smoother. As long as you have 8 GB of VRAM, you won't face any notable stutters.
