Can I run Monster Hunter Wilds with a GeForce GTX 1070?
In Monster Hunter Wilds the GeForce GTX 1070 sits between two reference points: past the GeForce GTX 1660 Super that defines minimum, and 36% short of the GeForce RTX 2070 that defines recommended.
Of the 6 cards that reach this same point in Monster Hunter Wilds, the GeForce GTX 1070 is the slowest - index 9 is the least this game will accept for that tier among the hardware we track.

Tier ladder
The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 9 against the 14 that Monster Hunter Wilds asks for at the recommended tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.
That readout is the best this card can do in Monster Hunter Wilds: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.
The same card with three different processors
In Monster Hunter Wilds the processor beside a GeForce GTX 1070 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
| Processor | Index | Verdict | Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 30 | Will not run | processor |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 70 | Runs at minimum | graphics card |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 95 | Runs at minimum | graphics card |
Cheapest way up one tier
graphics card: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
The GeForce GTX 1070 sits at index 9 and the recommended tier starts at 14.
That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the recommended tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
