Black Myth: Wukong
The rendering mode changes the answer more than a generic ‘1440p’ label. The official PC requirements explicitly assume upscaling, so native resolution, Quality upscaling and frame generation must be treated as different workloads. Decide which image compromise you accept before comparing hardware.
BUYING INTERPRETATION
Compare the exact card in the benchmark with your chosen upscaling mode. The official recommended row already assumes DLSS, FSR or XeSS, so it cannot establish native-resolution performance.
Use this group when the first tier needs too much scaling or too many reductions. Compare base frames first, then judge frame generation separately for visual smoothness and control response.
Move here only with a benchmark matching the native or ray-traced mode you want. Include the exact GPU variant, power supply and delivered Canadian price; more VRAM alone does not prove the needed throughput.
The recommendations rise by rendering ambition, not by an invented FPS ladder. The first group is a cautious modern entry, the second is a balanced comparison for a heavier target, and the third is optional headroom. The benchmark must decide whether the step is useful for your settings.

GamersNexus, April 2025 · 1440p · High. Ryzen 7 9800X3D at 5.4 GHz, DDR5-6000, four passes. Read from the original chart.
| GPU | Average FPS | 1% low FPS |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 5060 Ti 16GB | 56.7 | 49.5 |
| RTX 5070 FE | 72.1 | 63.1 |
The 5060 Ti falls below a 60 FPS average in this test. The 5070 clears that average and the 1% low, which makes the premium relevant to this particular target. Compare like-for-like settings before considering a generated-frame counter; these results do not establish the performance of Cinematic settings or full ray tracing.
Historical external evidence, not a GPUStores test or a forecast for your PC. Driver and game versions are not specified in this chart; a 1% low is not a guaranteed minimum.

The standalone benchmark is useful because it lets you repeat the same scene before buying the game or a new card. Save the output resolution, internal scaling, preset, ray tracing and frame-generation state with every result. A number without those settings is not reusable purchasing evidence.
Treat it as a filter, not a guarantee for every boss or effect-heavy scene. If the result is borderline, look for a full-game test of the exact card and settings before spending more.
The official recommended row names RTX 2060, RX 5700 XT and Arc A750-class hardware with 16 GB of system RAM and a 130 GB SSD. Its note says DLSS, FSR or XeSS is enabled. It does not state the internal resolution, FPS or ray-tracing level, so those missing values must not be invented.

METHOD
GPUStores compares publisher requirements with the technical sources linked in this guide. We have not tested these GPUs ourselves. Any third-party result belongs to the dated test and settings identified beside it. Buying advice and calculations are our analysis; they are not publisher requirements or a promise of performance on your PC.
An unspecified value remains unknown. Confirm delivered price and stock with the retailer before buying.

No. They render different internal workloads. Keep output resolution, scaling mode, preset and ray tracing equal when comparing GPUs.
No. It can improve displayed smoothness, but generated frames do not provide the same control response as an equally high base rendering rate. Check both values.
No. It is a repeatable reference. Confirm borderline results with current full-game tests, particularly in demanding combat scenes.
