Black Myth: Wukong Performance

Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most graphically demanding games of 2025 and 2026. Its Unreal Engine 5 implementation with Nanite, Lumen, and full path traced lighting on the highest preset can challenge even the RTX 5090 at 4K.

DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is essential at 4K. Without it, even the RTX 5090 can drop below 30 FPS in some scenes at full path traced settings.

In-depth

Everything you need to know

Hardware breakdown, build recommendations, and tuning advice for Black Myth: Wukong.

Black Myth: Wukong sets the GPU benchmark for 2026

Black Myth: Wukong is the title that GPU reviewers reach for first when testing flagship hardware. Its UE5 visuals, ancient Chinese mythological setting and heavy use of Nanite micro detail make it both a beautiful showcase and a real workout for any system.

For the full intended experience at 4K with path traced cinematic settings, the RTX 5090 is the clear recommendation. The RTX 5080 is the realistic minimum for any 4K play with DLSS Quality. At 1440p the RTX 5070 Ti is sufficient with DLSS, and at 1080p the 5060 Ti can deliver 60+ FPS at high settings without ray tracing.

CPU recommendation

CPU bottlenecks are minimal in Wukong, but for the longest term value we recommend the Ryzen 9 9950X3D for builds in this tier. The 9800X3D is also excellent.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the RTX 5080 run Black Myth at 4K maxed?

With DLSS Performance and Frame Generation enabled, yes, around 60 to 80 FPS at 4K with cinematic settings. Native 4K maxed without DLSS is genuinely 5090 only territory.

Is path tracing worth enabling?

Visually yes, dramatically. Performance cost is significant. We recommend it for showcase sessions and disabling it for the rest of your playthrough on anything below an RTX 5090.
