MH World system requirements for PC and laptop

To run the MH World system requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GTX 760 GPU, an Intel Core i5-4460 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 48GB of HDD or SSD space. 

Monster Hunter World is all about hunting giant boss monsters across a massive open landscape while collecting materials, cooking food, and catching bugs. Fortunately, this massive world doesn't require a particularly new gaming PC to run, as the MHW system requirements are quite tame by modern standards. 

In fact, the Monster Hunter World minimum requirements only require an AMD Radeon R7 260X graphics card, an Intel Core i5-4460 processor, and 8GB of RAM. This is enough to get the game up and running, but be advised that you won't get to see the world in its full graphical majesty at this level of hardware. 

If you want to experience the best, you'll want to meet the Monster Hunter World recommended specs, whcih demand an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU or greater, an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X CPU, and the same 8GB of RAM from the previous benchmark.

Monster Hunter World size - How big is MHW?

The Monster Hunter World download size on PC and laptop requires 48GB of HDD or SSD space. On consoles, MHW only requires 20GB of space.

We recommend installing the game on an SSD to ensure the best gameplay performance. So, if you need more space or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming or just check the latest, best prices for SSDs.

Monster Hunter World FPS or stuttering issues can be solved by installing the latest NVIDIA Drivers or AMD Drivers for your graphics card, or disabling certain graphical options - turning anti-aliasing and foliage sway off, lowering ambient occlusion and shadow quality, and using resolution scaling to play at resolutions that your PC may otherwise struggle with.

Monster Hunter World can look blurry when anti-aliasing is enabled, so try disabling this if you are having blur issues.
