Best Black Myth: Wukong settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Black Myth: Wukong runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 29FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Black Myth: Wukong is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 29 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 53 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. Black Myth: Wukong offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Black Myth: Wukong at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% 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.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Medium+8% FPS
Software Lumen bounce lighting — the heaviest non-RT setting. High over Cinematic is a big saving.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Cinematic while running faster.
Reflection (Lumen)Medium+4% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Moderately heavy; Medium/High is plenty.
Foliage QualityMedium+3% FPS
Grass and plant density in the lush environments — a real cost in forested areas.
Visual Effects QualityMedium+3% FPS
Spell and combat effects. Lowering smooths the flashy boss battles.
View DistanceMedium+2% FPS
How far detail renders before fading. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Character QualityMedium+2% FPS

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.
