When it comes to firing up the hit action role-playing game of 2024, Black Myth: Wukong, it’s best to not let it make a monkey out of you. Not only is the game made by Chinese game development company Game Science, one of the biggest hits of the year after selling 18 million copies globally in the first two weeks, it is also one of the most graphics-intensive titles available.
Sure, the game can run on game consoles, but if you want the most immersive visual experience inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West (西游记), the PC is your best bet and even then, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is probably the only graphics card that can make this journey a high definition westward journey.
According to the developer, the game requires at least 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU but nothing beats the coveted performance of the 4090, powered by the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, and comes with 24GB of G6X memory, all of which are responsible for transporting you into the realm of Chinese mythology.
And when it comes to gaming, there’s no better way than to show it, which is what we did by playing Black Myth: Wukong on an ultrawide monitor (3440×1440), to truly put the RTX 4090 to the test, with Full Ray Tracing, DLSS and RTX ON, along with the game’s Cinematic Settings. And as a reminder, DLSS 3 and Frame Generation can only run on the RTX40 series GPUs, which is also why they are best in class.
Check out the impressive graphics performance above when we played Black Myth: Wukong on our custom PC rig powered by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (GPU), along with the Intel 13th Gen I9 13900K (CPU) and 32GBS of LPDDR5 7200MT/S RAM.
Abandon Reason Know Only War! Zinho is a shooter fanatic still waiting for direct sequels to Black (2006) and Star Wars: Republic Commandos. He also truly believes that the Warhammer 40K universe can take on any franchise and destroy them. To think any different is heresy and punishable by Exterminatus.
