Black Myth Wukong stands out as one of the most notable releases of the year in terms of graphical quality for PCs, as it was produced in Unreal Engine 5, and the game features full Ray Tracing implementation, ensuring great graphics for the current generation.
The visual development of the game may seem challenging for users with less powerful computers. However, in this article, Voxel provides optimized settings that allow you to maintain the game’s great visual quality while ensuring smooth performance.
Many gamers may be tempted to lower all settings to high or medium in order to get performance. However, there are some graphics settings that are worth keeping at the max without significant impact on frame rate.
Black Myth Wukong Optimized Settings
To determine which settings have the biggest impact on the game’s visuals and which also have a greater or lesser impact on performance, it’s necessary to conduct several comparisons. Fortunately, the guys at Hardware Unboxed, who specialize in benchmarks, have shared their results in a video.
First, out of curiosity, we can see a visual comparison between all the game configuration presets, from low quality through medium, high and up to the ultimate cinematic quality.

Using the quick general settings tiles is practical and can be a good option for quickly tuning the game. But often, some specific configurations that make the game more beautiful have almost no effect on performance. In Black Legend Wukong, the Post-processing effects quality He is an example of that.

Likewise, there may be settings that don’t affect the overall visuals of the game very much, but are too heavy on their highest options. In this game, shade quality He is an example of that.

To balance the relationship between visual quality and the effect of settings on game performance, the folks at Hardware Unboxed have identified optimized settings for a few different categories of gaming experiences. Check them out:

Above, you can see a table with four options for optimized configurations in four different usage scenarios. Without Ray Tracing, we have a list to focus on performance and another to focus on visual quality.
There are also two options to try Ray Tracing, which will generally require more hardware. Anyway, for those with RTX GPUs, the advice is to use resources like DLSS and frame generation, to ensure better results.
Using the game key provided by Nvidia and Game Science, we tested the game here on the RTX 4070 at optimized settings, which ensures interesting performance when using the Ray Tracing presets with DLSS and Frame Generation.
