The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 15 against the 26 that Monster Hunter Wilds asks for at the high 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 1080 Ti changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti sits at index 15 and the high tier starts at 26.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the high 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".

This part alone will not get you there. video memory also falls short of that tier.
