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, all quality settings exceed 98 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 82 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 55 to 86 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3090 is 35% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2070 Super) for Monster Hunter Wilds. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 105% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
The GeForce RTX 3090 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high/ultra), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1365.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 98 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 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 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 3090 sets the ceiling at about 80 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 101 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 21 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 11/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your GeForce RTX 3090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 3090 can run Monster Hunter Wilds smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 82 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 35% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 105% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1365.38 ($465.38 CPU + $900 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 3090 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #290 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 3090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Monster Hunter Wilds performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 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 Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 3090 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.
