Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest open-world title from CAPCOM built on the RE Engine. Like Dragon’s Dogma 2, there are some technical issues and the game heavily relies on upscaling to achieve a stable frame rate, both on PC and console.
This automatically reduces the overall clarity of the image, especially if you’re playing at a resolution like 1080p. Thankfully, there are ways to improve the overall clarity of the presentation and reduce the blur in Monster Hunter Wilds on PC.
NVIDIA RTX Users: Update DLSS to 4
If you have an NVIDIA RTX GPU (doesn’t matter which one), we highly recommendupdating the DLSS versionto the latest transformer model (DLSS 4). This improves the image quality significantly and will reduce theblur caused by TAA. Here is a comparison showcasing the new DLSS version in action, even at a lower resolution like 1080p.
Monster Hunter Wilds does not ship with this, but we’re expecting it to be added in a future update.
Increase the Internal Resolution
If you have the GPU bandwidth, you can increase the internal resolution of Monster Hunter Wilds to improve the overall image quality. Since Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t have proper DSR/DLDSR support on PC, you’ll have to rely on this slider. However, it’s inaccessible if upscaling is disabled.
Disable Motion Blur and Depth of Field
These settings come down to personal preference but I highly recommend turning off both Motion Blur and Depth of Field. These are in the third column of the graphics settings, and even the in-game image has a noticeable blur to showcase its impact on the final image.
NVIDIA Users: Use DLAA
Finally, if your system can handle it, consider using DLAA instead of the Quality preset. Yes, it’s demanding, but at the same time offers the most visual clarity and higher-quality reconstruction compared to the other presets.
Similarly, both FSR and XeSS offer the “Native” quality preset as well, which is much better than one of the other upscaling presets in terms of image quality.
A combination of these solutions can improve the overall image clarity and reduce the blur in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can also considerdownloading the “High Resolution Texture Pack”if your GPU has tons of VRAM to spare.
