A heavy RE Engine title using advanced geometry and global illumination. It has sparked discussion by listing Frame Generation as a requirement for 60 FPS in its recommended specs. An SSD is mandatory.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 23 to 45 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 18 to 33 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 9 to 23 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6600 is 24% below recommended, but 12% above minimum for Monster Hunter Wilds. The Ryzen 5 5500 is 1% below recommended, but 9% above minimum.
The Ryzen 5 5500 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Radeon RX 6600 still has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $265. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 23 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 5 5500 sets the ceiling at about 94 FPS, while the Radeon RX 6600 could reach 128 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 27% (FPS gap: 34 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen 5 5500 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Radeon RX 6600 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | Balanced |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 5 5500 and Radeon RX 6600 will struggle to run Monster Hunter Wilds at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 23 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $265 ($85 CPU + $180 GPU). 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 #4 for value).
For Monster Hunter Wilds, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 5 5500 is currently the limiting factor — the Radeon RX 6600 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Monster Hunter Wilds does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
