Benchmark running terrible with 3060

Score: 15385
Average FPS: 45.22
Resolution: 1920x1080
Graphics settings: High
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
GPU: NVIDIA 3060
RAM: 16GB
GPU Driver Version: 566.03

These are my results on High preset with raytracing entirely disabled and frame gen on Balanced. Is there anything that is causing the performance to be this bad? The village and savannah barely manage 30FPS for me... I really want to play this game if possible, but I don't have the money to upgrade my GPU.

And no, I'm not going to run it any lower than High. It already looks worse than World as it is, I'm willing to tweak individual settings if they're big bottlenecks, but if I have to run it at Medium presets or lower it's such a bad experience that I'd rather not get the game at all.

My specs are similar and the benchmark was the same. I do think they will work to improve the game more, but as it is now unfortunately we can't play on high.

I mean the thing is that even downgrading to Medium doesn't increase the FPS that much for me, it's barely a 5-10FPS jump. I remember reading some people saying that it's a CPU heavy game so the CPU might be the bottleneck? I also noticed it wasn't even using all of my VRAM (was sitting at 10GB out of 16 or so) so that might be the case?

Who could have guessed that a low-end GPU from 5 years ago will perform terribly?
Don't even need a benchmark for that

According to the hardware survey for January 2025 that Steam put out, my build, down to the GPU and CPU, is almost exactly the most average: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/steam-hardware-software-survey-welcome-to-steam
The reason most people have the 3060 is because it's the last card before there is a massive jump in price. The 3060 is about $300, and the 3070 Ti, which only offers a modest improvement, is almost $1000. The 4060 is also about $300 and has some modest improvements but that card itself is old, and you lose a whole whopping 8GB of vram in exchange. You may have thousands of dollars to blow on a souped out gaming rig, but you are not the majority of players. Statistically speaking, I am. If you're not going to contribute something to the discussion other than make fun of how I don't just have $800-1500 lying around to play one game, kindly go away.

Also, this card can run tons of games that, quite frankly, look better than Wilds, including World. It can also run Elden Ring fine, and that is another highly detailed AAA open world game (one that's considered unoptimized, even), so the scale isn't really an excuse here. The fact that even top of the line cards are struggling to maintain 60FPS *with* framegen and DLSS goes to show how much of a hot mess this game is.

My 6700xt runs 17200 points, 100.20 fps, 1440p high, raytraycing medium, quality render and framegen

That's.. really impressive. What CPU?

[spellsnare]

21776 with a RTX 4080 super and ryzen 7 9800x3d and 128 FPS average

edit : everything in ultra including the ray-tracing

but of course i know i have a high end rig to run that game

Upgrade your old and outdated hardware if you want to play newly released games. Not the dev nor the games fault you didn't save up for this release. There are previous MH games you can enjoy while you save money that run fine on your old hardware.

In what clown world do we live that the 3060 is considered bad? It's a perfectly capable card and can run MODERN AAA titles. As I explained in a previous post, the reason I'm still using one is because there is a massive price jump between this card and the next one that gives even a moderate performance boost, I already looked into it trust me. Sorry I'm not a trust fund baby.

The price jump is because of scalper and maybe nvidia

because scalper knew that nvidia did reduce the production of the series 40 in november to make the series 50 to sell more but of course Nvidia with they lack of reason did back fire badly.

So there it is the scalper once again control the GPU market and we did go back in 2020-2023 with the global chip shortage.

I'm on a 3060ti trying to hit 1080/60 and the benchmark just... confused me. I was getting a smooth 60 on the default the game set up for me which was was high with some other settings balanced out. HOWEVER, when the camera panned over to the grassy area with wildlife, my frames IMMEDIATELY dropped to 45-50. Then when it panned back over to the desert it was 60 again.

I tested it on medium settings, same exact thing happened except i got maybe a bump of 49-55 fps on that exact scene. I assume if you're on a 40xx series you'll see smoother framerates at 1080/60 with better frame generation.

What this tells me is that this benchmark is pretty misleading. 2/3rds of it is cutscenes, which obviously don't take much computing power. and the other 1/3rd is flat brown desert which again, shouldn't do much except for the part where they panned over to the wildlife and the grass. If this game is supposed to be anything like World, the grass and wildlife is what you'll see plenty of and the actual representation of the fps you'll get.

Basically, the fact they're basing this games entire optimization around frame gen/DLSS to pick up the slack is kind of pathetic. Killed my hype for the game completely. Hopefully it'll be ACTUALLY optimized in 1-2 years and I'll pick it up for $20. Kinda sad the state of development these days where optimization is put on the backburner and the games are only playable on anything but top of the line systems years after they launch is just... oof.

Also, I agree. The game looks like ass on anything less than high. World looks better than this game does on medium.

Let's not forget that NVIDIA then started just charging scalper level prices for their GPUs because they saw people were willing to shell that much out. MSRP $800-1000 cards for moderate performance boosts at best without the fancy DLSS and AI upscaling as a crutch to rest on.

I mean, it was considered "meh" at launch, the 12gb version was a mild redemption, but it was not a well received card.

It wasn't a question. The 30 series is factually old. It's a simple fact. Nothing to argue.
