Wukong GPU Benchmark: Unleashing the Fury of Black Myth’s Graphical Performance

So you’re curious about Black Myth: Wukong, a new action RPG that draws inspiration from Chinese mythology? Well, I’m excited to dive into this topic with you! Not only is the game promising, but it also comes with a free benchmark tool, which is awesome.

But before we get started, let me warn you: we’re going to get into some technical jargon. Don’t worry if it gets a bit complex – I’ll break it down for you.

The benchmark tool is super handy, allowing you to test your system’s performance in a variety of configurations. We’ve put in some serious hours running this test, and the results are quite telling. Want to know what we found? Well, for one, the game looks stunning. The Unreal Engine does wonders, and you can almost smell the Chinese folklore vibes wafting off the screen.

But back to the benchmarks. We’ve got a ton of data points to analyze, but I’ll give you the CliffsNotes version: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 holds up pretty well at 4K, averaging 86 frames per second at medium quality. Meanwhile, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX gets 61 fps at 1440p, while the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super and AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT perform admirably as well.

We’ve also got some interesting data on DirectX 11 versus DirectX 12 performance. The 1080 Ti seems to prefer DX11 at 1080p, while the RTX 2060 Super is 14% faster at DX11 at 1440p. And speaking of 1440p, the Radeon 5700 XT sees a nice boost in performance when running at DX11.

In our What We Learned section, we’ll wrap up our findings and share our takeaways. In a nutshell, the game’s optimization seems solid, and frame generation looks great (although it might not translate as smoothly in-game).

Alright, that’s all for now! I hope this helped you get a sense of what to expect from Black Myth: Wukong’s benchmarking results. Stay tuned for our follow-up articles on gameplay, VRAM usage, and more!
