The benchmark for Monster Hunter Wilds was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I tried it out, unlike the previous beta test, it actually seems properly playable. Looks like I can run it even on my GTX 1660 Ti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last beta test, it didn't look like it would run at all\u2014monsters turned into low-poly triangles, making it look like an embarrassing drop in skill for Capcom with the shift in developer generations. But it seems they realized the issue\u2014maybe testers pointed out that distant objects were being fully rendered\u2014and improved it, so now it runs properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, there's a long way to go... the basics still seem a bit lackluster. On a PC with these specs, I'd hope it would run with graphics as good as Iceborne. And on newer hardware, it should deliver stunning graphics like nothing we've experienced before! Otherwise, it won't sell. I still don't feel like buying it just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I installed the benchmark, the default graphic setting was set to 'Lowest', making it look worse than a 3DS game\u2014I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me!' You can change it up to 'High', but it stutters. On 'Medium', it runs smoothly and the visuals look somewhat better. Turning Frame Generation OFF is key\u2014that's the main point. Still, it feels unpolished in places. There seems to be enough headroom in both GPU power and VRAM to fine-tune it further. Or rather, players around the world will probably share their settings on Steam, making it easy to pick a good configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lady's hair looks super coarse, doesn't it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dining area looks really nice, though. It feels like it was built entirely differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I wondered if only RTX series cards could run it comfortably. Frame Generation was turned on by default, and even on 'Lowest', it kept recommending changing settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I turned that off, the status changed to 'Playable smoothly.' And I was able to switch the graphics to 'Medium' as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, time to download the beta too. The second beta test starts tomorrow at 11:00 AM\u2014if the snow is bad, I might just work from home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
