Monster Hunter Wilds – Beta Build VS Benchmark – Is There An Optimization Difference?

adminFebruary 24, 2025270 views

I was told the Beta build is old and the Benchmark carries up to date optimizations but is this really the case? Let’s put it to the test.

I get the point that is trying to be made with your Avowed/Cyberpunk section but these are all completely different engines. You really can't compare. It's like trying to compare the performance between BO6, COD Mobile and Minecraft. It just isn't happening. Also if you're gonna compare it to Cyberpunk, you might as well install Cyberpunk's 1.0 release. At least give them a fair comparison. Cyberpunk has had what? A little over 4 years of optimizations?

Update: Finished watching the video. You touch on how the engines are different. My original comment still stands. In unison at least.

"Monster Hunter Wilds" is considered very demanding, particularly on the CPU, due to its complex monster animations, large open environments, dynamic weather effects, and a high number of simultaneous calculations needed to track both the player and multiple monsters on screen, often leading to significant performance drops on lower-end systems, especially when multiple monsters are engaged in combat at once; essentially, the game pushes the CPU to its limits trying to process all the intricate details of the fights in real-time.

@AngeAlexiel February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

A benchmark that doesn't showcase heavy scenes with multiples characters fighting is not useful... cos i guess some ppl will see 80fps and think they are okay but weather effects + combat will totally makes the frame counter drops a lot... so good effort but not acurate and frame generation sucks on wilds imho.

I have a 3070 and and an i7 14700 and I saw an increase. Around 15 fps. Played on medium in the beta and high on the benchmark.

@matilozano96 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

The differences in performance in lower to mid end machines is more noticeable, in my experience. No LOD and texture bugs like in the beta., more consistent framerate. I'd appreciate a test on lower end hardware once the game releases to see if I should buy the game or wait for an upgrade.

God, the skybox is ugly even on high end pc's, wtf.

@ynnosredd3190 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

got an i i5 9th gen with 3070 and I'm having low 50s FPS down to high 40s FPS, sometimes i get low 40s to high 30s even in multiplayer at 1440p high settings in beta (getting almost the same result with 1440p medium and 1080p high, and even in low settings there is no drastic change to FPS, that's why I decided to stick with 1440p because I'm using a 2k monitor). now, while I do agree that capcom needs to optimize the game a little bit more, I don't actually complain about this because I know my CPU is behind even with the minimum specs, I'm just glad that my GPU can hold the game and make it playable. I'd love to upgrade a CPU but I can't just do it because that was the last gen socket I need to upgrade my mother board as well and other components and I plan to upgrade to much higher end at the moment still thinking what GPU to get.

This better be solved way way before they release a DLC Im going to spend 400hrs on like previous entries

@thiagomendespm February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

I think the biggest difference is the quality of DLSS, the beta use version 3.5 and the benchmark tool use version 3.7, so for me the image looked a bit and sometimes a lot better with less artifact in the specific setting i was using, 1080p DLSS at quality and others settings between mid and low, so it could also be any settings causing a bad image quality. But it's hard to compare because the benchmark tool has a limited view of the game.

@kid______ February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Don't worry about trying to convince these “fanboys”, some people are simply delusional. I loved playing Monster Hunter World, I'm currently enjoying Rise and I'm definitely going to play Wilds too... but come on. It doesn't look that good and doesn't justify this performance. Yes, the benchmark runs better, but it also doesn't have 3 players getting blown up by a giant Arkveld, so it doesn't show how the final product will perform.

@jkteddy77 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

The difference for most players was CPU optimization. Easy for us to say, we're 1% owners of the fastest CPU on the market.
I upgraded to 9800X3D too from my 12700k after the first beta and the i7 indeed ran much slower with the same gpu in the beta.
I don't feel GPU optimization changed at all aside from VRAM optimization which you would never see either. But most gamers don't have more than 8GB of Vram.
RE engine is dog, but Capcom DID make the game at least playable with feedback from the first Beta for more gamers than you realize.

@IGniTo100 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Man, I love my games being playable only on a $2000 gpu.

@LucidSizzle February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

I'm questioning whether to use my pc a 3080 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core or getting a PS5 because I'm not sure if it'll be more optimized for the ps5. Someone tell me if I'm tripping or not and it'll be fine on my pc. I absolutely loved MH World dumping over a 1000 hours into it and it's been so long since another game has had me this excited again.

@phoenix-qr3ln February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

I once saw a video by a guy who must have been huffing immense copium, he even said something like "The benchmark isn't supposed to show you how well the game is supposed to look, or how well it performs, but how well your system is going to perform". I have no idea what kind of mental gymnastics you have to do in order to think that a officially released benchmark for a game less than a month out is somehow not indicative of how it will run or look on launch.

@chsi5420 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

This game went from blurry mess at 50 fps to somewhat decent at 60 fps on my 3070.

@NwahlinsFlava February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Either one of these two things seem to be true. 1.) There won’t be any major optimization improvements from the beta to full launch. 2.) They gave us a benchmark tool that didn’t have anywhere close to the optimization level we’re getting on the 28th, which makes no sense.

@87MockingOwl February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

try using Dlss swapper

@keilkeil7236 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

The benchmark is a problem, most of it is cutscenes

@Boqueelis February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Kinda just developer laziness or too strict deadlines. World didn't have much less going on map-wise, yet Wilds kills your CPU ten times more. Hopefully some modder fixes the bad CPU optimization like they did for world with the Performance booster plugin.

@shineek February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

The conclusion is the game is garbage, and another modern trash with zero to none optimization. Just gonna stay playing World and Rise over this piece of trash that costs 70 euro and cant be played on 4060 TI.

@ElegantEgotist-114 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

You ran this test with an absolute beast of a gpu, that I’m assuming was able to power through all the performance issues. I mean getting 80 fps gameplay on this game without frame gen (unfortunately) is insane. I’d like to see your temp data and wattage to see how much harder your gpu was working in one instance compared to the other, but I’m actually not too sure if that’s a good indication of how much your GPU is actually doing

I think the performance changes is most noticeable for people who have mid to high mid level cards. I myself on the rx 6700 xt saw an improvement from not being able to hit 45fps consistently in the beta to at least almost always being at 60, with a few frame drops here and there

@cobetx472 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Testing this on a 4090 is a bit pointless, the comparation should be done with more common hardware.

@olegdusov4273 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Run fools, denuvo is coming 😂

@teibdavies242 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

The improvements on console seem to be a lot better than the beta tbh

@gizunoglunmig0801 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

I mean when the benchmark is a bunch of hallways or empty scenes it runs at like 50 FPS of medium ish settings, but Im sure it will still run awfully on release in the more dense areas and during some elder fights and what not the game is just badly made and that's that,no amount of improving it will magically make it as well made as other games,I'm sure it's still going to be fun and I'm still going to put hundreds of hours into it but they really screwed up this time, it's basically a badly made PS3 port at best graphic wise even on max

@hermestrismegiste3309 February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

Let's be honest, they're heading straight into the wall with that optimization, that really is one of the poorest attempts at performance of these last few years. A real shame because the game seems incredible

@batonnikus February 24, 2025 - 8:34 am

5700x with 32 ram and 6800, no dips below 60, even tried native 4k on low + max textures for the hell of it and it was (barely but still) playable. And I'm talking 1st beta, didn't bother with benchmark since it is good enough as is.
