With MHWilds it seems to have been a few things: weird CPU things where it was doing too many checks, having worse performance on NVidia cards than would be expected, and running perfectly smooth on AMD cards except for random hard crashes. It runs just fine on older mid-range hardware for the most part, it's just had some really bizarre problems that it shouldn't have.

40fps at 1440p on medium with dlss performance mode on a 4060 is fine on mid range hardware? Next you’ll be saying stalker 2 runs fine on a zilog z80.

The general consensus is the game looks worse and runs worse than world

The 4060 is a notoriously bad card with VRAM on par with almost decade old midrange cards, and I did mention it running worse on NVidia GPUs than one would expect given their specs.

The general consensus is the game looks worse and runs worse than world

That's a nonsense take and people just saying shit. World looked good for its time, and it still doesn't look bad, but it has some really jarring issues with its antialiasing and certain effects relying on the shitty TAA that it shipped with, and in its time it was as demanding and non-performant. Meanwhile Wilds is visually stunning and runs incredibly smooth on high settings on my 6800, a card that's older and cheaper than/comparably priced to the 4060 but with a reasonable amount of VRAM. The only problem is starting with Guardian Arkveld it just has random DX errors that hard crash the game and nothing fixes.
