Monster Hunter: World on GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 12GB is well above Monster Hunter: World's recommended spec. We estimate ~270 fps at 1080p high (range 216–300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~189 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 3080 12GB back.
- Processor needed for ~270 fps: Ryzen 5 7600X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-3770): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 270.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 12GB: 12 GB
- Recommended spec: 3 GB (+9 GB headroom)
