Can a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT run Monster Hunter Wilds?
The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT falls below the minimum requirement for Monster Hunter Wilds, and its 1GB of VRAM is under the 6GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT measures up
| Requirement | NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 2 | 16 | 23 | Below |
| Video memory | 1 GB | 6 GB | 8 GB | Below |
| Ray tracing | — Not supported | Game supports RT (medium) | N/A | |
| Upscaling | FSR | DLSS, FSR | Available | |
Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 5 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 5 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
Upscaling
Monster Hunter Wilds supports DLSS and FSR. Your card supports FSR — Quality mode is worth 25–40% more frames. Compare upscalers.
VRAM headroom
At 1GB you are under the 8GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

Frequently asked questions
Can the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT run Monster Hunter Wilds?
The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT falls below the minimum requirement for Monster Hunter Wilds, and its 1GB of VRAM is under the 6GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
What FPS will I get?
On high settings with upscaling off: roughly 5 FPS at 1080p, 5 FPS at 1440p and 5 FPS at 4K. These are modelled estimates — see our methodology.
What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p. Then enable upscaling on Quality mode before lowering anything further.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title is unusually CPU-heavy, so it matters more than usual here.
