Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Black Myth supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Effectively required at 1440p and up — enable it first.

Path-traced lighting and reflections — stunning but brutally heavy, even on high-end RTX cards. Keep Off unless you have DLSS + Frame Gen on.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Low+16% FPS
Software Lumen bounce lighting — the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Cinematic is a big saving.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
