    Best PC for Black Myth: Wukong in 2026

    GPU bound

    Specs verified July 2026 · built & warrantied in the UK by FixFixLabs

    — The short answer

    Black Myth: Wukong is an Unreal Engine 5 showcase that leans hard on the GPU, especially with ray tracing and full-resolution effects. Target a strong 12GB+ GPU and rely on DLSS/FSR upscaling at 1440p and above. CPU needs are modest — this is a graphics-card game. A FixFixLabs build starts around £1,250.

    What actually matters for Black Myth: Wukong

    As a UE5 flagship it puts the load on the GPU — ray tracing, Lumen and dense effects. The CPU requirement is modest, so the budget belongs in the graphics card and VRAM. Upscaling is expected at 1440p and 4K. Don't over-spend on CPU here; buy GPU.

    • Unreal Engine 5 — GPU and VRAM are the bottleneck, not the CPU.
    • DLSS/FSR upscaling expected at 1440p and above.
    • Ray tracing adds significant GPU load.
    • A modest modern CPU is fine; put budget into the GPU.

    Black Myth: Wukong PC — frequently asked questions

    Is Black Myth: Wukong CPU or GPU limited?

    Firmly GPU limited. It's an Unreal Engine 5 showcase with Lumen and ray tracing, so the graphics card and its VRAM decide performance while a modest modern CPU keeps up fine.

    Do I need ray tracing enabled?

    No — the game looks excellent without it and runs far faster. Full ray tracing is a significant GPU cost and is best reserved for stronger cards paired with upscaling.

    What GPU should I buy for 1440p?

    An RTX 4070 Ti Super or RX 7900 XT class card with 12GB+ VRAM, running DLSS or FSR in quality mode, gives a comfortable high-settings 1440p experience.
