Best Black Myth: Wukong settings for the AMD RX 7800 XT (2026)

On a AMD RX 7800 XT (paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-12900F-class CPU), Black Myth: Wukong runs at roughly 70 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 52FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7800 XT is a high-end graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Black Myth: Wukong is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i9-12900F, it runs well at 1440p — about 70 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 52 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 87 FPS at 1080p and 70 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Black Myth: Wukong supports ray tracing and the AMD RX 7800 XT can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Black Myth: Wukong, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Black Myth supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Effectively required at 1440p and up — enable it first.
Full Ray TracingOffsaves FPS
Path-traced lighting and reflections — stunning but brutally heavy, even on high-end RTX cards. Keep Off unless you have DLSS + Frame Gen on.
Texture QualityCinematic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM. High for 8GB cards, Cinematic for 12GB+.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting — the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Cinematic is a big saving.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Cinematic while running faster.
Reflection (Lumen)Highbaseline
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Moderately heavy; Medium/High is plenty.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Grass and plant density in the lush environments — a real cost in forested areas.
Visual Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and combat effects. Lowering smooths the flashy boss battles.
View DistanceHighbaseline
How far detail renders before fading. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Motion blur, depth of field and bloom. Cheap; set to taste.
Character QualityHighbaseline
Detail on Wukong and bosses. High looks great; Cinematic is for screenshots.
Hair QualityHighbaseline
Strand detail on fur and hair. A modest cost in close-ups.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean without much cost.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at angles — essentially free, use 16x.
