Can I Run Black Myth: Wukong on My PC / Laptop?

Just barely. At 1080p Low with FSR and ray tracing off it runs around 25 to 40 fps. It is playable but not smooth, and the 3GB version stutters.

Yes. With ray tracing off and upscaling on, it holds around 60 fps at both 1080p and 1440p. Keep ray tracing off on this card.

Yes. The recommended tier and above are measured with upscaling enabled. They are not native-resolution numbers, which is why native benchmarks online look scarier than your real experience.

No. It is optional and very costly, roughly halving your frame rate. Full path tracing is heavier still and meant for RTX 40-series cards and up. Most cards should leave it off.

It uses Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen global illumination and optional path tracing. That lighting is expensive, and ray tracing on top roughly halves your frames.

At 1080p on a mid-range card, yes. Above 1080p, upscaling is effectively required. Even an RTX 4090 cannot hit native 4K at 60 fps on the top preset.

Aim for RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT territory, DLSS set to Quality, and ray tracing off or on low.

RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT with upscaling gets you a borderline 4K result. Go up to an RTX 4080 Super and 32GB of RAM if you want 4K with ray tracing turned on.

130GB, and an SSD is strongly recommended. It is required at the recommended tier.

No, 16GB is fine for 1080p and 1440p. The 32GB figure only applies to the 4K tiers.

No. The minimum is 16GB, and 4GB is far below what the game and Windows itself need to run this engine without constant stutter and crashing.

Yes, a free 6.7GB official Benchmark Tool on Steam. It runs a flyby and reports your average, minimum, and maximum fps. It has no combat and gives no pass or fail verdict, just raw numbers.

Unlikely. It is a GPU-bound game, so any modern i5 or Ryzen 5 from 2018 onward is fine.

Both. The minimum tier runs on DirectX 11, and the recommended tier and above target DirectX 12. There is no separate DirectX setting to pick in the menu, the game selects it based on your system.

Not natively on Windows, it runs on DirectX. On Steam Deck and other Linux handhelds, Proton translates it to Vulkan behind the scenes, which is part of why performance there trails the Windows numbers.

Yes, on RTX 40-series cards it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation, which can roughly double your displayed frame rate at 1440p and 4K. It smooths out motion but does not reduce input lag the way genuinely rendering more frames would.

4GB cards like a GTX 1650 or RTX 3050 sit below the practical floor. 6GB is the real minimum, matching the GTX 1060 6GB spec. 8GB is comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, and the 4K and ray tracing tiers want 12GB or more.

On PC, no, the frame rate is uncapped and will run as high as your hardware allows, though you can set a cap yourself in the display settings. On consoles, the fps depends on the mode you pick.

Fine for a lighter setup. The RTX 3050 clears Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, so target 1080p low to medium and adjust down for a steady rate.

That card falls short. The GTX 1650 is under Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, which leaves you very low settings and a shaky frame rate.

Fine for a lighter setup. The GTX 1060 6GB clears Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, so target 1080p low to medium and adjust down for a steady rate. Around 25 to 40 fps at 1080p Low with FSR and ray tracing off.

This one struggles. The RX 580 sits below what Black Myth: Wukong needs, so expect low settings, low fps, and possibly some launch trouble.

No trouble at all. The RTX 4060 meets or beats what Black Myth: Wukong recommends, so 1080p high runs well and 1440p is realistic. About 60 fps at 1080p with DLSS, roughly 28 fps native without it.

The RTX 3060 is a strong fit for Black Myth: Wukong. It lands at or above the recommended spec, so high 1080p is comfortable and 1440p works. Around 60 fps at 1080p and 1440p with ray tracing off.

For sure. The RTX 2060 outpaces Black Myth: Wukong's recommended card, leaving you high 1080p now and 1440p whenever you like.

You can play it. The GTX 1660 is at Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, so keep to 1080p low to medium and lower a setting if it stutters.

Fine for a lighter setup. The GTX 1660 Super clears Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, so target 1080p low to medium and adjust down for a steady rate.

It will run. The RX 6600 meets Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, which means 1080p on low to medium and a smoother result once you lower a couple of options.

The GTX 1660 Ti gets you in. It meets Black Myth: Wukong's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady.

Yes. On the RTX 3060 Ti, Black Myth: Wukong runs at high settings in 1080p and scales up to 1440p without much fuss.

The RTX 4050 is a strong fit for Black Myth: Wukong. It lands at or above the recommended spec, so high 1080p is comfortable and 1440p works.

Expect problems. The GTX 1050 Ti lands below Black Myth: Wukong's minimum card, so low settings and low frame rates are the ceiling, assuming it runs.

That is more than enough. The RTX 4070 clears Black Myth: Wukong's recommended requirement, so aim for high at 1080p or step up to 1440p. Around 80 fps at 1080p and about 58 fps at 1440p with Cinematic settings and ray tracing on, using upscaling.

Apple never built a Mac version of this game. Your MacBook options are cloud streaming or running Windows through a virtual machine, since Unreal Engine 5 titles like this one want a real Windows PC with a dedicated GPU behind them.

No. Integrated graphics fall well below the GTX 1060 minimum for this Unreal Engine 5 game, so you need a dedicated graphics card.

It runs on both, but it is a stretch for handheld hardware. Expect low settings, upscaling on, and a frame rate below 60.

For 1440p at 60 fps you want an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT class card with DLSS and ray tracing off. For 4K you need at least that card with upscaling, or an RTX 4080 Super for 4K with ray tracing, plus 32GB of RAM.

An RTX 3060 holds around 60 fps at 1080p and 1440p with ray tracing off and upscaling on. Remember the official specs assume upscaling is enabled.

No. The minimum is 16GB of system RAM. On 8GB you will hit stutter and long load times.

An SSD is strongly recommended and is required at the recommended tier. The install is 130GB.

Yes, it is on PS5 with performance and quality modes. This page covers the PC version.

It is a heavy Unreal Engine 5 game, so first turn ray tracing off, which is worth about 70 percent more frames, and make sure upscaling is on. Confirm you have 16GB of RAM and an SSD, and use the free benchmark tool to test settings.

Steam Play, better known as Proton, is what makes this playable on SteamOS or any other Linux distro, since the developers never shipped a native client. It does work, Steam Deck included, but the game is demanding enough that you should plan on low settings, upscaling turned on, and frames staying under 60. ProtonDB has the current compatibility rating along with launch options other Linux players have found useful, and a heavy single-player game like this one rewards a bit of tuning.

It launched on PS5 and PC first, with an Xbox Series X and S version arriving later. This page covers the PC version.

A GTX 1060 6GB, an i5-8400, and 16GB of RAM will get you 1080p on Low with upscaling turned on, hovering around 30 fps. This is a demanding Unreal Engine 5 game, so anything weaker than that will struggle, and a smooth 60 fps simply is not on the table for low-end hardware.

It never came to Switch. The game launched on PC and PS5, with an Xbox Series X and S version following later, and this page is about the PC release.

No. It only released on PS5, PC, and later Xbox Series X and S. The PS4 was never a target platform for this game.

PS5 offers a performance mode and a quality mode. Performance mode targets a smoother frame rate at a lower resolution, and quality mode targets higher resolution at a lower frame rate. Neither runs at a locked 120 fps.

No. Older Intel HD Graphics chips are far below the GTX 1060 6GB minimum for this game and cannot run it at any usable settings.

No, not in any meaningful way. Iris Xe is a big step up from older Intel integrated graphics, but it is still well under the GTX 1060 6GB floor this game needs, so expect a slideshow rather than a playable frame rate.

No. AMD's Vega 8 integrated graphics, found in many Ryzen laptops, sits far below the minimum spec and cannot run this Unreal Engine 5 game at a playable frame rate.

Radeon 780M is the best integrated graphics chip you will find in a current handheld, but that still leaves it under the GTX 1060 6GB floor this game asks for. You can coax roughly 20 to 30 fps out of it at 1080p Low with FSR pushed up, which feels closer to a Steam Deck than a real gaming PC.

It falls below minimum. RTX 2050 is a low-power laptop GPU weaker than a desktop GTX 1650, so it sits under the GTX 1060 6GB floor. Expect low settings, upscaling on, and a frame rate closer to 20 to 30 fps than a smooth 60.

Yes, it lands around recommended. RTX 5050 performs close to an RTX 4060 in most games, so with ray tracing off and DLSS on it should hold roughly 60 fps at 1080p.

Yes, easily, it is well above recommended. It runs around 94 fps at 1080p Cinematic, about 72 fps at 1440p, and about 49 fps at native 4K, and DLSS Frame Generation can push displayed 4K numbers much higher.
