By / Black Myth: Wukong, Tech / April 24, 2025

Black Myth: Wukong pushes GPUs hard, but the RTX 5060 can deliver smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p with our recommended settings.

Black Myth: Wukong has quickly earned a reputation for pushing modern GPUs to their limits, thanks to its cinematic visuals, intricate lighting, and demanding ray tracing features. If you’re planning to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, you might be wondering how the 8GB mid-range GPU holds up in one of the most system-taxing games of all time. Though the 5060 isn’t a flagship GPU, its DLSS 4 support, Multi Frame Generation technology, and GDDR7 memory make it a capable choice for running this Chinese action RPG at solid frame rates.

The RTX 5060 can run Black Myth: Wukong at 1440p and 1080p without sacrificing visual fidelity. Our recommended settings for these resolutions aim to maintain over 60 FPS during gameplay. To increase FPS further, decrease taxing settings like Shadow Quality and Visual Effects, and lower Super Resolution to balanced. 

Settings for 1080p

The RTX 5060 can run Black Myth: Wukong comfortably at 1080p with maxed-out settings thanks to DLSS and frame generation. Using between 6 and 7GB VRAM, the card can maintain over 60 FPS at these settings.

  • View Distance: Cinematic
  • Anti-aliasing: Cinematic
  • Post-processing: Cinematic
  • Shadow Quality: Cinematic
  • Texture Quality: Cinematic
  • Reflection Quality: Cinematic
  • Reflected Shadows: Cinematic
  • Global Illumination: Cinematic
  • Visual Effects: Cinematic
  • Vegetation Quality: Cinematic
  • Full Ray Tracing: On
  • Ray Tracing Level: Low
  • Super Resolution: 75
  • Super Resolution Sampling: DLSS
  • Frame Generation: On
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Motion Blur: Off

Settings for 1440p

Black Myth: Wukong will run well on the RTX 5060 at 1440p after lowering settings to very high, turning off ray tracing, and increasing upscaling use. Very high settings at this resolution will use nearly 8 GB of VRAM, pushing the card to its capacity. However, while using frame generation at this resolution, watch out for CPU bottlenecks. Your CPU needs to be better than an Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500 to support frame generation at 1440p without bottlenecking performance. 

  • View Distance: Very High
  • Anti-aliasing: Very High
  • Post-processing: Very High
  • Shadow Quality: Very High
  • Texture Quality: Very High
  • Reflection Quality: Very High
  • Reflected Shadows: Very High
  • Global Illumination: Very High
  • Visual Effects: Very High
  • Vegetation Quality: Very High
  • Full Ray Tracing: Off
  • Ray Tracing Level: N/A
  • Super Resolution: 65
  • Super Resolution Sampling: DLSS
  • Frame Generation: On
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Motion Blur: Off
