Recommended Settings (Optimized)

Here are my Optimized Settings for Black Myth Wukong. They come with 3 presets for different levels of performance & image quality

Meaning

- Quality Optimized: The difference between the highest preset available and these settings are virtually indistinguishable. This is for people who set graphics settings to max and forget about it, it's free FPS, great for high-end systems.

- Balanced Optimized: Is willing to cut down on very taxing settings or settings with minor visual differences. The difference between the highest preset and these settings are able to be spotted in side by side images but may be hard to tell otherwise. This is the most optimal, great for mid-range systems.

- Low Optimized: The lowest settings you can go in a game without destroying the visuals. There is a noticeable difference between this and the highest preset but the game still looks like a modern title. This is for performance enthusiasts who want high framerates without 2009 graphics. Also great for low-end systems or competitive games.
