To run Black Myth: Wukong smoothly, your graphics card configuration should be based on your desired resolution and image quality. The following are specific recommendations:
I. Basic Smooth Experience (1080P Medium-Low Quality)
Graphics Card Requirements: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
Frame Rate Performance:
At 1080P, the average frame rate with ray tracing disabled is approximately 50-60 fps, meeting basic smoothness requirements.
This is a cost-effective option, suitable for players on a budget or seeking an entry-level experience.
Optimization Tips:
Disable full-screen ray tracing, lower shadow quality to medium, and enable DLSS/FSR technology to improve frame rates.
Adequate RAM is required, and an SSD is recommended for reduced loading times.
II. High-Definition Experience (1080P/2K High Definition)
1080P High Definition:
Recommended Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE
Frame Rate Performance: Average 80-100 FPS, with medium ray tracing support.
2K High Definition:
Recommended Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
Frame Rate Performance: Average 60-80 FPS, stable above 60 FPS with ray tracing disabled.
Optimization Tips:
Enable DLSS/FSR Quality Mode, set Anti-Aliasing to Medium, and adjust View Distance to High.
Disable Motion Blur for improved clarity, and set Global Illumination to Low to reduce GPU load.
III. Ultimate Experience (2K/4K High Definition + Ray Tracing)
2K Ultra Definition + Ray Tracing:
Recommended Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
Frame Rate Performance: Average 90-110 FPS, running smoothly with ray tracing enabled.
4K Ultra Definition + Ray Tracing:
Recommended Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
Frame Rate Performance: Average 60-80 FPS, with top-tier visual detail and lighting effects.
Optimization Tips:
Enable DLSS 3-frame generation technology (RTX 40 series graphics cards only) and adjust supersampling resolution to 75%.
Set shadow quality and vegetation quality to high, and reflection quality to medium to balance performance and image quality.
IV. Special Scenarios and Laptop Compatibility
Laptop Users:
Due to reduced laptop graphics performance, we recommend choosing an RTX 4060 Mobile model or higher, with a dedicated graphics card directly connected to boost frame rates.
For example, an RTX 4060 laptop can consistently run 70-90 FPS at 1080P High settings, while some special effects may need to be reduced at 2K resolution.
Ray Tracing Performance Differences:
AMD graphics cards are weaker in ray tracing. If you're looking for a high-quality ray tracing experience, NVIDIA RTX series graphics cards are preferred.
For example, the RX 7900 XT averages only 50-60 FPS at 4K ray tracing, while the RTX 4080 SUPER can reach over 80 FPS.
V. Summary and Purchasing Recommendations
For a Limited Budget: Choose a GTX 1060/RX 580 for basic needs, or an RTX 3060 for a balance of cost-effectiveness and high image quality. Mainstream Gamers: Recommend the RTX 4060 Ti/RX 7700 XT for smooth, high-definition performance at 2K resolution.
High-End Users: Go for the RTX 4080 SUPER/7900 XTX for a stress-free 4K+ ray tracing experience.
Laptop Users: Prioritize an RTX 40 series mobile graphics card, ensuring it supports direct connection to the dedicated graphics card.
