Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 33 to 88 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 21 to 48 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 14 to 27 FPS.
The Radeon R9 290X / 390X is 38% below minimum GPU requirement 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 Radeon R9 290X / 390X can use FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The Radeon R9 290X / 390X 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: $444. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 33 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the Radeon R9 290X / 390X sets the ceiling at about 21 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 99 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 79% (FPS gap: 78 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon R9 290X / 390X 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 58% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 72% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 66% | GPU Limits CPU 69% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 79% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 79% |
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 Radeon R9 290X / 390X will struggle to run Monster Hunter Wilds at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 33 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $444 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $60 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 Radeon R9 290X / 390X 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 Radeon R9 290X / 390X is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF. 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
