[James Sawyer Ford]

Will this run on switch 2…?

 

[Skifi28]

Will this run on switch 2…?

If it manages to run on the deck, probably.

 

[Pey.]

I recorded a video of the benchmark at 4K Max Settings with RT.

 

[Kacho]

Will this run on switch 2…?

Yeah. It already works on PC handhelds. Just needs a proper port with all the dev work and optimization that goes into it. I expect it to be a launch window game.

 

[Gaiff]

CPU: i9-13900K
GPU: RTX 4090
RAM: 32GB 6000 MHz
GPU Driver: 572.16

Max settings, no RT, 3440x1440, DLSS Quality: 105fps average

Max settings, RT High, 3440x1440, DLSS Quality: 96fps average

Max settings, RT High, 3440x1440, DLAA: 83fps average

Max settings, RT High, 3840x2160, DLSS Quality: 83fps average

Max settings, RT High, 3840x2160, DLSS Performance: 94fps average

And for good measure…

Max settings. RT High, 3840x2160, Native: 68fps average

I also noticed it dipping it below 60 in the area with a lot of foliage and monsters. It dipped to maybe 57 and was mostly 60-70fps. That’s with 3440x1440 DLAA and 4K DLSS performance.

You might get fooled into thinking the 4090 can handle this game at native 4K60, but it can’t. As soon as the action ramps up, it buckles and drops below 60fps and can go as low as the mid to high 40s while remaining at around 50-55fps.

It also seems that frame generation will be engaged for the 60fps modes on consoles as the game recommends it when you start it on PC.

Edit: I was told the beta on consoles targeted 60fps without frame gen and was mostly fine, so perhaps they won't use it after all.

Overall, seems to run decently. I was expecting much worse. The graphics are nothing to write home about, but the biomes, effects, and weather simulations are impressive as hell. Makes World look like a PS2 game.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Seems fine on my 4090 laptop. Never dropped below 70 FPS and average was 95 with frame gen on. Ultra at 1440p.

 

[Kacho]

 

[xenosys]

Was averaging around 60FPS with everything maxxed out @ 4K/DLAA/No FG on my 4090/7950x. 80FPS with DLSS Quality and around 110FPS with DLAA/FG.

I'll probably play with the latter.

 

[ssringo]

Only ran a couple tests as I was pretty happy with the results. It definitely pushed my hardware...hard. My cpu was boosting to ~4.8GHz clock speed and ~83C temp. The CPU load seemed to be in the 50-60% range while my GPU was in the 90% range. Though it's worth mentioning that while I have these monitors I was only using it to keep an eye on my cpu stats because my fans were working hard (max speed).

Ultra settings. DLAA. Ray Tracing High. Noticed texture pop-in a few times. Nothing drastic but impossible to miss.

EDIT: I ran a short test with framegen off and it drops framerate by ~25-30.

 

[Seyken]

I'm gonna be able to run this fine, but I have to say the RE Engine is gonna be eating a lot of PCs for lunch with this one.

 

[bbeach123]

One of the ugliest and heaviest game this gen . Textures in the town at the end is digusting , ugly ssao(or hbao) , aliased shimmering and blurry with dlss .

 

[Imtjnotu]

Anyone else having micro stutters like Un even frame pacing?

 

[kevboard]

Will this run on switch 2…?

minimum requirement is a GTX1660... so yeah, easily

 

[kevboard]

jesus fucking christ.

I thought "hey, lets test this on the Steam Deck... that's gonna be a fun little thing to do"

now more than half an hour later and 25% battery down, the shaders still aren't done compiling...
my god...

edit:

yeah, this will not be a pleasant thing to play on the Deck.

what a horribly made game in general tho, it literally looks and runs like ass on anything that isn't the most high end PC.
looks significantly worse than the last 2 entries in the series thanks to how temporally unstable it is. it's basically pixel mush in motion because everything is dithered and smeared.

 

[The Skull]

Fucking stutter city. Let's hope for a day one patch.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Hit 20000 with maxed settings at 1440p DLAA without RT. Don't make the score fool ya, it can hardly be called a pleasant experience and sure as fuck not excellent.

Absolutely insane CPU usage (all cores are at max usage all the time), stutters everywhere, texture popin (I'm running benchmark from AORUS 7300 M.2 PCI-E Gen 4.0 2TB NVMe). Pretty much the same effin' story as with DD2 which still not fixed and won't be fixed just like MHW cuz it's their next-gen RE Engine problem, not a CPU problem. I can imagine what a clusterfuck it'll be if you'll enable RT and it most likely will be CPU overheating.

Update:

RT reflections are terrible and there's zero local shadows on characters and from clothing (just like in DD2 without PT mod). 4K Native 30 + DLAA is perfectly achievable on my setup, if it wasn't for stuppid stutters. Who knows if the game also has VRAM leak like DD2, there's no way to test it in this benchmark unless you'll run it in a loop for a few hours.

VRAM counter is not accurate in the menu - 12GB of VRAM is definitely needed and a sweet spot for the game, if you're planning to run it at 4K Native + DLAA or at 4K DLSSQ - I haven't seen much of a difference between the two though in terms of VRAM usage - it was always around 11GB or so, sometime a but over.

It's without a doubt the best looking MH ever though. Absolutely superb animation, lvl of detail, attention to detail and visual quality. I smell effin' 9s and 10s comin' our way.

worse than the last 2 entries? buy some glasses my man

 

[Lorianus]

It's the same as Dragons Dogma 2, above 60 in the open world and as soon as the benchmark goes to the hub city with more npc's the fps get's sliced in half.

 

[Mister Wolf]

RE Engine clearly wasn't designed around open world.

 

[daclynk]

Will this run on switch 2…?

looks likes it will.but will it have ray tracing .hmmm i wonder

 

[Lorianus]

I swapped the DLSS dll to the latest DLSS 4 310.2.1.0 dll and my average fps on same settings has risen by +6 fps and the score went up by about 1200 points.

 

[TintoConCasera]

RE Engine clearly wasn't designed

Agreed.

 

[ozzrik]

Runs like a charm.

Ultra / dlss quality with fg / RT max

 

[winjer]

Ultra preset. FSR3 Quality. Frame generation, motion blur and vignette disabled.
It took a long time to compile shaders, maybe 10-15 minutes. During this process, CPU usage was at around 50%
In the benchmark, it was silky smooth. No stutters.

BTW, this game uses Direct Storage 1.2.2

 

[Luipadre]

Fucking stutter city. Let's hope for a day one patch.

i had 0 stutters altho the compile shader shit was long af

Change the VRAM to 4GB. Not that will not run like shit, but should at least be better.

 

[Spukc]

Runs like a charm.

Ultra / dlss quality with fg / RT max

Surprised the 4090 is still ok after the huge jump to the 5090

 

[A2una1]

Surprised the 4090 is still ok after the huge jump to the 5090

It is still the second best Graphics Card out there ...

 

[Ceadeus]

What resolution and setting should I aim for if I'd like 60, I've got 4060 16gb 14900?

 

[Lokaum D+]

Runs like a charm.

Ultra / dlss quality with fg / RT max

120fps with dlss+fg on a 4090, no it dosnt run like a charm XD

 

[Comandr]

What resolution and setting should I aim for if I'd like 60, I've got 4060 16gb 14900?

I appreciate these questions, and to answer it: 1080p-1440p medium or high should be achievable. That said, the point of the benchmark is to test these things yourself, so why not do that and then you tell us?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

One of the ugliest and heaviest game this gen . Textures in the town at the end is digusting , ugly ssao(or hbao) , aliased shimmering and blurry with dlss .

for how it runs the game is not pretty at all, as if something went wrong with the tech

 

[ssringo]

What resolution and setting should I aim for if I'd like 60, I've got 4060 16gb 14900?

Saw this on the Steam forum. No clue about intel processors so maybe someone else can chime in on how it compares. But Seems like 1080p with High settings and DLSS balanced should be in the 60fps range. Might have to drop to medium settings.

EDIT: A comparison of your cpu and the one listed in that thread.

The game is cpu intensive so you should be in better shape than the the person in that thread.

 

[Gaiff]

120fps with dlss+fg on a 4090, no it dosnt run like a charm XD

Runs great for me as well.

 

[mèx]

7800X3D / 4070 Ti / 1080p / DLAA

FG disabled: ~90 FPS
FG enabled: ~150 FPS

The relevant part with actual heavy shit going on runs at ~70 FPS without FG (the part with the thunderstorm and the slow walk into the grass).

At 1080p with DLAA the game looks like shit. It's a blurry mess. Modern rendering in a nutshell. I have also noticed problems with pop-in/LOD and some frame time weirdness.
I want to say Dragon's Dogma 2 (same engine) looked better and cleaner but I might misremember.

The game will be amazing as usual but I expect it to be a dud technically.

EDIT: I have run the benchmark maxed out, there might be some wiggle room to gain some more performance.

 

[Spukc]

It is still the second best Graphics Card out there ...

never mind the benchmark on that 4090 was using DLSS and FG. I really need to get that 5090 if i want to game on pc.
for now i will use the ps5 pro

 

[Horseganador]

On Steam deck it's very bad, it doesn't even reach 30fps at minimum and it looks awful, we'll see how it turns out on Switch 2...

 

[kevboard]

worse than the last 2 entries? buy some glasses my man

why buy glasses when the game looks like the vision of someone who's ligally blind?

absolutely the last 2 games. I have never seen a game that looks as bad on current gen consoles as that beta looked.

 

[Mr Moose]

Is DLSS broken in this benchmark? Shimmers a lot. FSR not so much.

 

[delishcaek]

Two runs on my rig: Ryzen 7700X, 4070TiS, 32GB RAM

Ultra-DLSS Quality (no RT)

Medium-DLSS Quality (with Textures set to Highest and AF to 16x, obviously also no RT)

I am too lazy and it's not my job to test this for hours, but I expected to gain a lot more than roughly 10% going from Ultra to Medium. Doesn't seem to scale very well.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Looked fantastic, will see what that 15% 5090 life does. (everything highest no frame gen)

Color was off in my frame gen test, only ran it once so I don't know if it persisted.

 

[rodrigolfp]

At 1080p with DLAA the game looks like shit.

If on a 1080p screen something is very wrong.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I recorded a video of the benchmark at 4K Max Settings with RT.

frame gen enabled and you only got 60 fps ? your base frame is 30 fps with 4k and dlss on quality ?

too low.

 

[Antwix]

Man this game is pretty heavy. And I feel like this benchmark is a bait with the first part and the last part being cutscenes basically.

 

[rodrigolfp]

frame gen enabled and you only got 60 fps ? your base frame is 30 fps with 4k and dlss on quality ?

too low.

Looks like he has frame rate capped at 60.

 

[Scrawnton]

Something seriously wrong happened with this game and its engine during development and it's fucked beyond repair. No one will change my mind on this.

I just don't get how this game turned out this resource intensive yet so ugly and muddled at the same time. What did Capcom do?

This game would've been better off scoped as a Switch 2 game and ported up from there (like Rise) as opposed to this performance garbage fire we got.

 

[Pey.]

frame gen enabled and you only got 60 fps ? your base frame is 30 fps with 4k and dlss on quality ?

I had V-Sync enabled in Nvidia's Control Panel, forgot to disable it before running the benchmark, heh.

Wow it's a demanding game ! Oof.. but thanks!

Oops yeah I'll test tonight. Right now I'm at work. 1080p will be kinda blurry , I'll update for sure.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Wow it's a poorly optimized game !

Fixed for you
