Yes, Monster Hunter Wilds can run on the ROG Ally X, but performance depends on settings and optimizations. Here’s what you need to know.

Best Settings for ROG Ally X

To get playable performance, use these recommended settings:

System Settings

TDP: 25W or 30W (Turbo Mode)
VRAM Allocation: 10GB
Resolution: 1080p
Upscaling: AMD FSR 3 (Ultra Performance Mode)
Frame Generation: Enabled

Graphics Settings

Texture Quality: High
Mesh Quality: Medium
Shadow Quality: Low
Grass/Tree Quality: Low
Wind Simulation: High
Render Distance: Medium
Bloom & Motion Blur: Off
Screen Space Reflection: On
Volumetric Fog: Low

How to Improve Performance

If you're experiencing crashes or stuttering, try these fixes:

Update AMD Drivers – Outdated drivers cause crashes and flickering.
Run Game in Compatibility Mode – Set to Windows 8 (can fix crashes but may cause flickering).
Turn Off Fullscreen Optimization – Right-click the game’s .exe file, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check Disable Fullscreen Optimizations.
Lower VRAM Allocation – Many players report better stability at 4GB VRAM instead of 10GB.
Disable Ray Tracing – It doesn’t improve visuals much but tanks performance.
Verify Game Files on Steam – Right-click the game in Steam, go to Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
Close Background Apps – Discord overlays, recording software, and browsers can cause performance drops.

Performance Expectations

Low settings, 1080p, 30W TDP → 30-40 FPS in most areas
Medium settings, 1080p, 30W TDP → 25-35 FPS in fights
FSR 3 and Frame Generation ON → Can boost FPS to 50-60 in some cases

Warning: The game struggles with VRAM management on the ROG Ally. Increasing VRAM too much can cause stuttering instead of improving performance.

If you experience flickering issues, try recompiling shaders after updating drivers.

Final Verdict

Monster Hunter Wilds is playable on the ROG Ally X with tweaked settings. Expect 30-40 FPS with the right optimizations, but be prepared for occasional dips and graphical trade-offs. If you're looking for a smooth experience, Capcom may need to release performance patches for handheld devices.
