Introduction to Black Myth: Wukong

Set in a world inspired by Chinese mythology, Black Myth: Wukong invites players to embark on an epic journey as the Destined One. The game’s vast and enchanting world is brought to life through the power of Unreal Engine 5, further enhanced by NVIDIA’s advanced RTX technologies. The combination of full ray tracing and DLSS 3 ensures that GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU owners can experience the game at its absolute best, with unparalleled visual fidelity and smooth performance.

Full Ray Tracing: A New Level of Realism

Black Myth: Wukong implements full ray tracing, also known as Path Tracing, to create a level of visual realism previously unattainable in real-time gaming. This advanced technique, made possible by the powerful RT Cores in GeForce RTX GPUs, brings several key improvements to the game’s graphics:

  • Full Resolution Multi-Bounce Ray-Traced Indirect Lighting: Natural colored lighting bounces up to two times throughout the game world, creating more realistic indirect lighting and occlusion.
  • Full Resolution Ray-Traced Reflections: Reflections mirror their surroundings with near-perfect accuracy, incorporating bounced detail and rendered at full resolution.
  • Ray-Traced Particle Reflections: A world-first integration that dramatically enhances realism in combat scenes by accurately rendering particle effects in real-time reflections.
  • Ray-Traced Caustics: Simulates the real-life effect of light rays reflected and refracted by water and curved surfaces, creating unique light patterns.
  • Ray-Traced Shadows: Delivers more realistic shadows with contiguous silhouettes, contact hardening and softening, and higher levels of detail.

To experience these advanced effects, players can activate the “Full Ray Tracing” setting in-game and select “Full Ray Tracing Level” Very High.

NVIDIA DLSS 3: Boosting Performance in Black Myth: Wukong

NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an award-winning AI rendering technology that increases graphics performance in games and applications. It utilizes dedicated Tensor Core AI processors on GeForce RTX GPUs to enhance frame rates while maintaining image quality. For GeForce RTX 40 Series owners, DLSS 3 with Frame Generation offers even greater performance boosts.

In Black Myth: Wukong, DLSS 3 significantly improves user experience with full ray tracing enabled and maximum settings. Let’s examine the experience across different resolutions:

4K Resolution (3840×2160) Performance

At 4K resolution, DLSS 3 enables impressive frame rates even with full ray tracing:

The flagship 4090 nearly hits 100 FPS, while the 4070 Ti SUPER maintains a smooth 66 FPS. The 4080 SUPER sits comfortably in between at 74.1 FPS.

These results demonstrate that high-end 40 Series GPUs can deliver a smooth 4K experience with maxed-out settings in Black Myth: Wukong.

1440p Resolution (2560×1440) Performance

At 1440p, DLSS 3 enables even more GPU configurations to excel:

Performance ranges from the 4090’s impressive 123.3 FPS to the 4070’s solid 62.5 FPS. Mid-tier options like the 4080 SUPER and 4070 Ti SUPER offer excellent frame rates between 85-97 FPS.
