My goal is to make this guide as simple to follow and as accurate as possible, it's good to remember that we all make mistakes, even those who push to be perfect.

If this guide helped you it would be heavily appreciated if you liked, favorited or commented on it!

If you're feeling charitable feel free to give me some steam points ~ check below to learn how!

Please read this before you jump into the settings. I want to make it clear that right now performance varies greatly. These settings might be what helps you, they might not be. I spent a lot of time testing the settings and writing this guide - if these do not work for you do not immediately downvote this guide because of that. The game is in a wildly (no pun intended) volatile state right now.

Monster Hunter Wilds for one reason or another does not utilize the latest version of DLSS out of the box, but that can be fixed with DLSS Swapper. This can lead to higher framerates.

1. Firstly, close your game entirely.
2. Open up the Nvidia app, if you don't have it download it here[www.nvidia.com].
3. Click on 'Graphics' on the left side of the screen.
4. Search for "Monster Hunter Wilds" if you don't see it click the three dots below "Program Settings". Then click 'Add a program and navigate to Monster Hunter Wild's .exe.
Normally located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MonsterHunterWilds
6. Under "Monster Hunter Wilds" click on "Use different settings for each DLSS Technology"
7. In the "Super Resolution" tab change to "Latest" and click apply.

Warning: This can cause black screens with Frame Generation on for some users on 21:9. If you experience this I suggest you play on 16:9 instead or revert the DLSS Swap.

Ultrawide unfortunately suffers from grey bars on both sides of the screen, this can cause screen burn on some monitors over time and this is pretty unacceptable in my opinion.

Luckily, there is a fix for this:

1. Firstly you will need to download RE Framework, to do so head here[github.com].
2. Under "Assets" in the latest version, click on the "MHWILDS.zip" file.
3. Extract the file anywhere on your computer, we will need the "dinput8.dll" file.
4. Copy the aforementioned file and paste it into your Wilds directory.
Normally located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MonsterHunterWilds
5. Once the game launches you can use the "Insert" button to open the menu. In here you can find the option that will fix Ultrawide. You can also change your FOV here.
