Reviewed 12 August 2026 · FixFix Labs build desk

— 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.

— Build questions

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.

Can you build a Black Myth: Wukong PC in the UK?
