Black Myth_ Wukong's most-wishlisted status means its new benchmarking tool is the 18th most played

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

has swiftly risen up to become the most wishlisted game on Steam. Though it doesn't come out for one whole week. Ugh. Thankfully we can spend our time wisely in preparation for the big day—by repeatedly running the game's new benchmarking tool to nail our settings just right.

The new benchmarking tool is listed over on Steam for download. It's free, of course, and doesn't require you to have pre-ordered the game. It's actually popular in its own right, as since its release mere hours ago it's become the , with over 60,000 players at its peak.

This is the sort of hunger for benchmarking that we relish here on the PC Gamer hardware team. Hey, if you love benchmarking so much, why don't you come . That's not a joke.

I've been playing around with the benchmarking tool this morning, and in most respects it appears a pretty darn good one. You can tweak most of the game settings within the tool itself, which means you can genuinely find the best settings for the game for your specific system ahead of its release.

I've run my gaming PC through the test. It's made up of an , Ryzen 9 5900X, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, too many SSDs to count, and a chunky air cooler (air ftw). There's also a 4K gaming monitor attached for good measure. According to the benchmark, I'm able to crank out 70 fps at 4K (61 fps min) with every graphics setting maxed out—including ray tracing and cinematic quality visuals. I also have DLSS enabled in Balanced mode with Frame Generation switched on, which helps out a ton.

The inclusion of DLSS, XeSS, and FSR is sure to help most gamers u31 game เข้าสู่ระบบ out. We've run the benchmark with high settings, no ray tracing, and XeSS enabled at 3440 x 1400 on Intel's Arc A770 u31 เครดิตฟรี 188 and managed to reach 34 fps. Okay, that's not great by comparison to Nvidia's top cards but it's at least relatively playable thanks to upscaling.

Here's one of my results. (Image credit: Game Science)

It's worth running the benchmark a few times to u31 game เข้าสู่ระบบ get a stable score, however. I ran it once and something was still building in the background and this caused some stutters later in the run. Those had gone by the third time through.

Black Myth: Wukong is . Nvidia already has drivers available for the game, which you can download from the , though u31 เครดิตฟรี 188 neither AMD or Intel have any out yet. 

If you want to install the game come launch day, you'll need to clear the way on your PC. This game demands 130 GB of storage space, ideally on an SSD. Also some sort of upscaling, be it DLSS, XeSS or u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ FSR, is expected. Here are the rest of the system requirements:

Black Myth: Wukong sets pretty low requirements of your PC. Though from our own runs with the Arc A770, it's clear you'll need to cut back on most settings and crank XeSS all the way up to run on an Arc A750 or similar.
