Black Myth Wukong In-Game Performance Benchmark

[Gucky]

That A770 performance…OMG!

Need to wait for Intel driver patch.

Without upscaling only a 4080 can barely manage to maintain 60fps or more at 1080p most people are going to need to both lower settings and use upscaling.

From the review:

I'd rather go down to minimum settings first, and only use upscaling if even that fails. There's not a massive difference between minimum and maximum in most games these days, but upscaling introduces an overall blur that I don't like.

Even high is pretty noticeable to me in this game it also doesn't improve performance a ton, Medium looks ok kinda like a last gen game, and low looks like shite.

Did you even bother to look at the comparisons in the review? The differences here are massive.

I see the benchmark is free, so I'll have a look when I get home from work.

This might help. I feel his settings are the best trade off from hub.

Although to get the best image quality you need to use DLAA which is only RTX GPU's unfortunately.... Native FSR and TSR look grainy to me.

I think you can safely skip the vanilla 4080 next time, it’s just extra work and is same perf as 4080S. This is a typical Nvidia game with marketing buzz words like “Full RT” (which is absolute nonsense as the image is still mostly shaded and not ray traced), and mediocre performance on GPUs like 7900XTX compared to 4080, which it usually beats.

What would also be nice, maybe tests in Medium / High / Very High (one of them not necessarily all due to work), more than just the lowest and highest, and it seems the highest setting isn’t very reasonable unless you own high end PCs it even downgrades GPUs from 1440p which they usually are good at to below 1080p, which just shows “Cinematic” is a unreasonable setting. I’m not sure which setting I would currently use with my rig, if the fps isn’t at least 80 with DLSS Balanced (in 4K) i would 100% not use cinematic.

 

[Hyderz]

jeebus... even the 3090 barely reached 60fps at 1080p...
another title i will purchase 3 years later...

I'm not sure why this is surprising, "Full RT" here is referring to full resolution path tracing. AMD hardware just can't handle this well at this point in time, Ada cards take baby steps towards this level of fidelity but hardware is just too cut down across most segments to truly shine.

It's long been known RTX 4080 outperforms the 7900 XTX in RT by 20% even with the lower memory bandwidth accounted for, with the Radeon being 1-3% faster on average at traditional rasterized graphics.

I'm having fun playing this game, the production value is through the roof:
_Gameplay is fun, I would consider the game to be on the easy side, beating carefully crafted boss on 1st try feel like a waste
_Graphics are truly next-gen with Full Ray Tracing, so it would need next gen GPU too
_Musics are great, especially the Red Tides transformation spell OST

This game specifically uses an Nvidia derived form of RT and while it works on AMD it's basically coded for Nvidia it might as well be gameworks lol probably why it's the first UE5 game to use it......

That being said this and much much better forms of this with substantially more light bounces and better denoising is the future of games anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional AMD really needs to improve performance in games like this or come up with their own form of open source path tracing.


The big issue is Nvdia charges you a least 1000 to get a gpu that can do it ok and AMD doesn't even offer one and until people can buy 4090 level performance for less than 400 usd it's going to be a long long road of baby steps with PT.

Hardware Unboxed did an all-settings optimization video today, there is some good scaling and reasonable framerates are available for many cards with good image quality. FYI with their Performance settings my 3050 6GB (yes that one) gets 43fps at 1080p DLSS Quality (65% setting) in the benchmark.

Your cards aren't dead yet.

Follow-up for fun: 4060 Ti 8GB gets 66fps with HUB's Quality settings at 1440p DLSS 70% (~Quality) in the benchmark.

Horrors. The other meh Nvidia GPU also does a good job in this title. And for funsies I benchmarked it first with the previous driver (OK really for forgetsies) and it got 62 fps with the same settings, using only 115W. With the game ready driver it used about 152W with the 6.5% fps increase, so there's the value in proper drivers: better GPU utilization.

Looking at the image comparisons, Medium-High looks the best to my eyes. Very High and up adds too much small details and the image starts looking too busy, I guess, while RT/PT contrast is just uncomfortable to look at and, comparing to raster, deviates too much from the intended visual direction.

 

[leezhiran]

This game actually managed to let many players on raptor lake find out that they do have a defected CPU , read many threads about game crashes when compilng shaders. LOL.

 

[Hyderz]

Would this be considered the new crysis?

 

[Zubasa]

Would this be considered the new crysis?

Pretty sure that is CP2077, this is just another UE5 game with questionable performance.

 

[RootinTootinPootin]

Would this be considered the new crysis?

Technically with the latest game engine and all the eyecandy glory, it should. It makes the 4090 beg to its knees when everything is enabled.

But the game is indeed very optimized despite those eyecandy.

CP2077 is just another sample of unoptimized POS, the only justice to this game is its mods.

 

[_roman_]

60€ is not worth bothering more for a badly optimized game, compiling shaders on game start, low screenshot quality vs hardware requirements && energy consumption.

There are older games which runs cooler on my recent hardware. I do not see any benefits in Raytracing or any difference in those screenshots. Hole game scene is badly designed or has an engine error by design.

 

[W1zzard]

n the Test System section I believe you meant Nvidia drivers 560.94, not 570.94

fixed

and the 1440p/Cinematic chart is missing the Arc card?

works for me? Which specific chart?

 

[starfals]

This just shows 1 thing... 4080 super is super alright. Super fail. 0 fps difference, supposed to be cheaper but ITS NOT (here, in my taxed to hell country) and it has 0 discounts for like 2 years now. Both the original and the "new" cards...

Thanks for the benchmark btw, these are always fun to see. My poooor 3070. This game was pretty laggy on it.

 

[W1zzard]

Added a bunch more cards to bring the total to 35

 

[PaddieMayne]

Any players on here using 7800x3d and 7900xtx combination? Wondering what the best settings are for my son who's just bought the game??

 

[SIGSEGV]

DOA.

In what resolution and fps?

In the past I didn't include 4080 Super, but then I realized this makes people believe that 4080 Super might be considerably faster. Same situation when I don't include 4080 non-Super, that's why I'll be including both for the foreseeable future, to ensure people are aware of the minimal differences

also @oxrufiioxo

It also seems over sharpened to me even when dropping the setting to 0.

Where's that setting? Couldn't find it in-game
