Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 48 to 115 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 33 to 72 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 24 to 43 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is 31% below recommended, but 2% above minimum for Monster Hunter Wilds. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 76% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
Monster Hunter Wilds supports: DLSS Frame Gen, FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti can use FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $484. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 48 FPS, equivalent to 0.1 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti sets the ceiling at about 33 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 99 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 67% (FPS gap: 66 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 51% | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 60% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 50% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 67% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 64% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 980 Ti will struggle to run Monster Hunter Wilds at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 48 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $484 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $100 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Monster Hunter Wilds, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 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 GTX 980 Ti is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x 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 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.
