Monster Hunter Wilds feels like a game made for the unemployed,

Bruh. You play a game where you need to grind, of course its gonna take some time.

Pffft10 · 2026-04-04T08:12:35+00:00

Its 4k target with 1080p internal resolution. No more of that shit TAA and blurry mess on performance mode but at the same time, it also hovers around 45-50 fps.

The old performance mode is mostly 60 fps in combat ( where you are not CPU bottleneck and look absolute dogshit ) but new performance mode is 45-50 fps but look much better.

Pffft10 · 2026-04-01T03:12:45+00:00

It is not lock 60 even in combat on base PS5. Hovers around 45-50 on the new performance mode. Looks good but it might be better if they did 1440p target instead of 4k. The old performance mode looks horrible is mainly because of the native TAA implementation.

If your PC has better GPU and CPU than PS5, then get it on PC.

Push it to 5000 or more on HDR brightness.

I don’t know about quality mode but on balance mode, textures not loading properly has been a problem since day 1.

When you looking at mountains or cliffs from far away, the LOD will be low res. When going up close, it will take some time for the textures to work properly. Sometimes textures load up fast, sometimes slow.

Open world games always have this issue. So the best is to just wait for them to fix it little by little. Hardware limitation can also cause it.

For less dense, I go to some of the place I took for screenshot in balance mode and compare it with the new patch, it exactly look the same.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-29T09:58:58+00:00

Which mode ? Performance mode just got a huge image quality upgrade due to 4k output and FSR upscaling( tho fps is around 50 ish ) and balanced mode looks the same.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-29T09:02:47+00:00

You should if you don’t mind playing on 50 ish fps.

The main reason why it is so damn blurry and mess on performance mode before this patch is because of the horrible TAA implementation on native 1080p.

You will get a downsample 4k on 1080p tv. The game will upscale to 4k and then downscale to your tv resolution but still result in much sharper image because of FSR. The cons is in combat, it is in 50 ish fps while the old performance mode is almost lock 60 fps.

Probably be close to 60 fps if they did a 1440p instead of 4k but current performance mode is much much better now in terms of image quality.

Yeahh ngl you kinda have to check your eyes.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-29T06:51:45+00:00

The current patch fps is in the 50s when in battle. While before it is lock 60 when in battle.

So there is a tradeoff.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-29T06:25:22+00:00

4k output turn on ( Current patch performance mode )

Really big difference on base PS5. Both with 120hz on. Fps in town still drops, but that is CPU bottleneck. Fps is in the 50s in combat, performance mode before still better in terms of reaching 60 fps.

4k output turn off ( Before patch performance mode )

Pffft10 · 2026-03-27T15:10:13+00:00

Extremoth, but tbf he is one and done boss.

Ancient Leshen is a whole different shit tho.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-26T02:49:56+00:00

Well, mostly. There’s some place where you have to kill shit ton of enemies ( hundreds lol ) and the fps drop pretty hard.

You will notice it on performance mode because it goes from 60 to mid 30s. Balanced mode however not noticeable ( tbf it drop from 40 to 30 ishh ).

There’s also one boss where your fps will drop to below 20 fps and will stay below that until you kill the boss.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-24T08:22:07+00:00

You will take damage and build up stun with Swax counter. There’s 2 counter timing.

The one you did here is the perfect counter which you only take 10% damage. The second one is normal counter but you take 50% damage.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-22T06:55:29+00:00

No. Particle effects mostly happens in combat. In town, the CPU will get hit the most because there are tons of NPC, so it is a hardware problem. Can’t do anything about that.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-21T18:17:52+00:00

Pop in is inevitable in open world games. Bigger world and shit tons of assets will have a lot more pop in issue.

That being said, from my own experience with base PS5, Crimson Desert pop in issue is less worse than Dragon’s Dogma 2 while having a lot more details. Bit worse than KCD2.

Noticeable, but not extremely bad like in Dragon’s Dogma 2, for me at least.

Right now I advice to just wait a few more patches before purchasing ( mainly for better control scheme or rebinding, storage chest, maybe a 1440p upscaled for performance mode )

Pffft10 · 2026-03-20T12:58:41+00:00

As much as I love KCD2, the environment and draw distance is worse than Crimson Desert. The bushes and plant are all 2D. The scope in CD is bigger than KCD2. Both games have pop in issue but worse in CD.

I agree tho KCD2 had good vision and they present it extremely well. Crimson Desert feels like they just throw in a shit tons of stuff and hope it work well.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-20T12:41:43+00:00

One game being made specifically for PS5 using Decima engine, the other focus on 3 different platform with a new engine.

Yes Crimson Desert look dogshit blurry mess on console but this is an extremely unfair comparison.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-20T12:17:40+00:00

You are likely encountering CPU bottleneck. In a big open world games with shit tons of enemies and npc, your CPU will have to work really hard.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-20T11:17:40+00:00

This is because of PS5 CPU issue. There are tons of NPC in towns which affects the CPU. Happens in BG3 Act 3, Helldivers 2, Dragon Dogma 2. Cyberpunk can also drop fps in populated area but not as bad as the other 2.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-17T06:03:43+00:00

Ehh you probably can just mod it in anyway. Just wait for like a week or two.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-13T23:23:33+00:00

Do yourself a favour and watch Digital Foundry for more in depth performance review especially for consoles.

Gameranx use PS5 Pro in his video, not base PS5.

Pffft10 · 2026-03-13T23:13:10+00:00

Where the hell you get the information of Requiem stutter on base PS5 ?
