discussion Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool

New benchmark released in advance of the game to see if your hardware is up to the task.

Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool on Steam

The "Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool" is a PC benchmark application specifically developed for "Black Myth: Wukong". It evaluates your hardware performance and system compatibility through the real-time rendering of an in-game sequence.

Haven't tried it with my 6800XT @ 1440p yet, but the default settings on my 4070 4060 (I blame the covid ) laptop seem decent enough, but that's with DLSS enabled. (Going to try it with DLSS off to see how much of a Hit I take).

edit: Nope, unless I'm missing something there doesn't appear to be any option to change the default settings it spits out.

I haven't tried it yet, but it appears to have a looping function if you want to use it for stress testing.

How were you changing the DLSS? Is there a setting in the benchmark, or were you using the global driver settings?

All settings done in the benchmark.

They are under settings then graphics then super resolution sampling.

You have options for XeSS, FSR, TSR, and DLSS.
Frame Gen is available on all but XeSS.

The sliding scale goes from 25-100 and is as follows

25-39 Ultra Performance
40-54 Performance
55-61 Balanced
62-89 Quality
90-100 DLAA

I'd love this if we're a stand-alone without need if steam.

I asked for a refund on one of the Tiger Woods golf games because after trying for 5 or 6 hours I could not get the game to run properly. I went past their 2 hour max and the refund was refused. I charged back through PayPal and they lost.

I've heard this benchmark has issues with texture and object loading. More than one source mentions having to run it 3 or 4 times in a row to see accurate numbers for your setup. I'm currently downloading to test.
