The GeForce RTX 4090 is 93% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070 Super) for Monster Hunter Wilds. The Core i9-12900E is 44% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
Monster Hunter Wilds supports: DLSS Frame Gen, FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce RTX 4090 can use DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 2x-3x frame rate boost.
The Core i9-12900E sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2149. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 111 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Core i9-12900E sets the ceiling at about 157 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 222 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 29% (FPS gap: 65 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Core i9-12900E is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 29% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 20% | CPU Limits GPU 11% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Core i9-12900E paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Monster Hunter Wilds smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 93% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 44% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2149 ($500 CPU (Rank #325 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Monster Hunter Wilds, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i9-12900E is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Monster Hunter Wilds supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
Monster Hunter Wilds requires at minimum a Core i5-10600 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1660 Super (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 140 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-11600K and GeForce RTX 2070 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Core i9-12900E and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Monster Hunter Wilds FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
