In case you use an overclocked GPU, there is a good chance that is why you are getting the “renderdevicedx12.cpp Fatal D3D” error when playing Monster Hunter Rise on the PC. We have a few possible solutions that might work for you, so let’s go directly at them below.
1. Check PC Requirements
One of the first things you need to check and make sure is that your GPU is able to handle the load you are trying to put on it. Make sure your PC has sufficient graphics processing to run Monster Hunter Rise smoothly. If unsure, here are the minimum PC specifications needed to run this game:
| Particulars | Requirements |
| Operating System | Windows 10 (64-bit） |
| Processor | Intel Core i3-4130 or Core i5-3470 or AMD FX-6100 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (DDR4) or AMD Radeon RX 550 |
| DirectX | Version 12 |

2. Set Max FPS Limit
Another possible reason for this error could be a glitch or outdated graphics drivers in your PC. In case you have everything up-to-date, you will need to wait for an update from the game developers or your GPU manufacturer. As a quick workaround, you can try putting a cap on the maximum FPS this game go up to.
To do that, open the Nvidia Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings and select Monster Hunter Rise. Make sure you set the FPS to at least 60 FPS if it was previously set to no limits. However, if the default was set to 60 FPS, then lower it down to 30 FPS for the GPU to do less processing work to run the game.
