Things can get quite heated when you are hunting epic monsters in Monster Hunter Rise. Now that the game is out on PC, here are the Best Settings for FPS and Performance Boost you can do in MH Rise for the PC version.

MH Rise Best Control Settings
If your PC meets these requirements, then we can move on to the next step where you can adjust specific settings to gain performance boosts and make overall improvements to the game.
Controller Button Icon Type
Navigate to the “Game Settings” and scroll down until you spot the “Controller Button Icon Type” option. There are three options here,
- Option 1 – Generic Controllers Layout
- Option 2 – Xbox Controller Layout
- Option 3 – PlayStation Controller Layout
Changing these button icons makes it easier to play the game via the controller as you will always get accurate button prompts.
Button Hold Settings
Under the Controls tab, you can change the Button Hold Settings between Short, Medium, and Long to determine how long you need to press the button to perform actions that require you to hold a button.
We recommend setting this to Short, to make the game feel a lot snappier than before.
Sheathe Settings
Go to the Controls tab again and change the Sheathe setting to Manual. This prevents the game from automatically sheathing your weapon when it is not in use for a few seconds.
Auto sheathing of weapons can be troublesome when you are dodging attacks and not spamming the attack button. The game sometimes sheathes your weapon, thinking that combat is over and you are now exploring.
Best Graphics Settings
Hunting monsters is no easy feat and the hunt becomes even tougher if you are struggling to maintain solid FPS during the most hectic situations. To help alleviate your performance concerns with the PC port for MH Rise, we have prepared the followed graphics settings.
Keep in mind that your mileage with these MHR graphics settings may vary but our suggestions are purely focused on giving as high FPS as possible without sacrificing on the visual quality.
Dynamic Shadows
Turning off dynamic shadows offers a few extra frames per second.
Image Quality
Set this to 150 percent to retain the native resolution look. Lowering it will significantly increase performance, but make will make the game look grainy and spoiled.
High-Resolution Texture
Sharpens the overall textures of everything. Switching it on or off doesn’t appear to impact performance, so keep it on for the added visual benefit if you have the VRAM for it.
Ambient Occlusion
Turning this setting off increase’s performance at the cost of visuals looking duller. Controls the number of shadows you see in different dark spots of an image.
Shadow Quality
Setting this too low makes shadows appear blocky but the performance gains are insane. This is the most important setting to adjust if you want more frames at the cost of a lesser appealing image and scene quality.
Anti-Aliasing
FXAA (fast approximate anti-aliasing) is the least taxing on performance, while TAA (temporal anti-aliasing) is smoother. Keep tinkering with anti-aliasing to find the best setting for your screen.
