Wondering what all these graphics settings in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) mean? Whether you want to optimize performance for buttery smooth frames, or you want the best-looking monsters and armor sets imaginable, this guide will help you understand the differences between each setting so you can reach your personal best graphics settings on PC.
List of Contents
| Graphics Settings | You can choose from Low, Average, and High. It changes to Custom when you manually adjust things under the Advanced Graphics Settings. |
|---|---|
| Advanced Graphics Settings | If you're not satisfied with the simple options above, here you can adjust every graphics setting of the game to either lessen the load on your CPU or make your game look extra nice. More details below. |
| Screen Mode/HDR Settings | Choose to play the game in Windowed Mode, Borderless Windowed, Full Screen, or Full Screen (HDR). Whether you can activate the HDR option depends on whether your monitor is capable of doing so! A simple way to check would be to search for "Windows HD Color Settings" on your search bar. |
| Brightness | Adjust the game's brightness levels using a slider. |
| Resolution Settings | The most common option for most people would be **1920x1080, but if you have a monitor that's capable of going 3840 x 2160 (4K), this game is definitely capable of that! |
| Display Frequency | This represents the refresh rate of your monitor. Most monitors have 60hz of display frequency, but some boast up to 240hz. |
| Aspect Ratio | The default is 16:9, but you can also go 21:9 for an ultra-wide experience. Though this is only really recommended for a monitor that's actually ultra-wide. |
| Ultra-wide UI Position Correction | When you pick 21:9, this setting can help by bringing the UI closer to the center of the screen. |
| Framerate Cap | Usually people cap their framerates to be the same as their monitor's refresh rate to prevent screen-tearing. But it's up to you; the game enabled unlimited framerates after all! |
| V-Sync | When enabled, this will automatically sync your framerates with your monitor's refresh rate. |
| Important Note The pictures below have been downsized in terms of size and quality in order to be uploaded to the website. You must test it out for yourself in order to see the real effects! The free demo should have most of these settings. |
