Monster Hunter: World Recommended Requirements

Can my PC run Monster Hunter: World?

By Cliff Henjum July 11, 2019

One of the most popular games on CanYouRUNIt.com is CAPCOM’s Monster Hunter: World which originally released on August 9th, 2018. Even though it’s almost a year old now, people are still wondering if their computer can run MHW. In fact, almost half of the people who have taken the system requirements test have passed it, which is a higher percentage than some other CAPCOM games. As a hunter, it will be your job to track down the fiercest of beasts in order to retrieve your bounty. Team up with other players to tackle monsters that no single hunter could take down! Because of the multiplayer aspect and breathtaking graphics, the system requirements for Monster Hunter: World are nothing to scoff at. You and your computer will be put to the test.

CAPCOM explicitly states that if your computer meets all of the specific minimum requirements, then players should expect to play at 1080p/30FPS with the graphics set to Low. There are three separate “caps” on FPS settings that you can tweak if necessary - 30FPS, 60FPS, and Unlimited. If the bare minimum is OK for you, then all you need for GPU is a GeForce GTX 760 or a Radeon R7 260x with 2 GB of VRAM. The GeForce GTX 760 first released about six years ago and is one of the more popular video cards on the market. For CPU, your computer needs at least a Core i5-4460 or an AMD FX-6300 clocked at around 3.2 GHz. This is actually the same CPU requirement for another one of CAPCOM’s games, Resident Evil 2. A 64-bit version of Windows 7 or newer is also needed. With a 30 GB install file, you should make sure your computer can pass at least the minimum requirements test.

Crank the graphics settings up to High by passing the recommended requirements test. If you want to uncap the FPS, your PC will need to be even stronger than the following specs. The Core i7-3770 (or the Core i3-8350) and Ryzen 5 1500x are the recommended CPU models for Intel and AMD users respectively which is actually about the same as that for Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. If remastered games are setting their hardware requirements at this level already, it’s time to start future-proofing that rig of your’s. The devs recommend a GeForce GTX 1060 and Radeon RX 570X in order to play on High settings. Once your computer is at this point, it will be able to run virtually every game on the market (99%).

Now it’s time to slay some monsters!
