# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `MonsterHunterWilds_Low` as it delivered the highest average FPS, maintaining nearly 10% more FPS compared to others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `MonsterHunterWilds_Medium` due to its relatively low standard deviation of FPS, contributing to a smoother gaming experience. * **Best overall**: `MonsterHunterWilds_High_FSR` balances very near high FPS with stability, offering a good compromise between performance and smoothness while utilizing FSR. # Issues: * The high settings without FSR performed significantly worse, with approximately 15% lower FPS compared to the FSR version, despite having the same configurations. This indicates that FSR has a tangible impact on performance, allowing a significant improvement in FPS. * The GPU load is near maximum for `Medium` and `High` settings with lower margins at `Low` and FSR settings, suggesting possible throttling or high energy utilization in these presets that may impact sustained performance. * VRAM usage is notably higher for the high presets, particularly without FSR, showing more strain on GPU resources under these settings. # Summary This benchmark provides insight into the performance impact of various graphical settings in Monster Hunter Wilds using the same hardware configuration on a Steam Runtime 3 environment. The inclusion of `FSR` improves FPS significantly while maintaining a balance with frame time variances. Lower graphic settings deliver the highest FPS, whereas medium settings offer the most stable play. Notably, FSR proves to be a valuable technique for enhancing performance without substantial compromises on other metrics.
