Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix
New tests largely confirm that buying the full cosmetic DLC catalog for Monster Hunter Wilds provides only small, hardware-dependent framerate gains instead of the dramatic boosts initially reported. In controlled runs, RTX 4060 rose from about 66fps to 67fps around base camp, while RTX 5080 went from ~66fps to 73fps (plus small 0.1% lows improvements). Outside base camp, gains are minimal, and the author cautions that spending nearly £460 on cosmetics is not worth it. Capcom’s patch due Jan 27 will be another test, but the evidence so far suggests the DLC checks aren’t a silver bullet for performance.
