A NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D lands around 34 fps in Black Myth: Wukong at 1440p with Ultra textures, High shadows and DLSS Quality. Ray tracing is set to Medium. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.
Based on benchmark data and community reports for this hardware combination — treat as an estimate, not a guarantee. How we calculate this.
Black Myth: Wukong runs on Unreal Engine 5 and uses Nanite + Lumen extensively, which means the visual fidelity is remarkable but the GPU cost is unforgiving. Software Lumen is significantly cheaper than hardware ray-traced Lumen and looks nearly identical in most scenes — leave hardware ray tracing off unless you have an RTX 4070 Ti or better.
Texture quality is heavy on VRAM, so 8 GB cards should stay at 1080p with High textures. The forest and underwater levels are the most demanding zones in the game and are a good place to validate your settings — if you're stable there at your target framerate, the rest of the game will be smooth.
Uses the shipping Unreal Engine 5 PC version and treats hardware ray tracing as optional. Results assume shader compilation has completed.
