If your RTX 4090 is below 60 FPS or crashing in Black Myth: Wukong
Practical steps before assuming the hardware is the problem.
Lower the right settings first
For Black Myth: Wukong, Wukong is the UE5 showcase — turn off full RT, drop hair quality and fog; it is GPU-bound. On a RTX 4090 this typically recovers 20–40% of frame rate before any GPU-tier change is needed.
Update GPU drivers & verify files
A clean driver install and a game-file verification fix the majority of "it ran yesterday" crashes. Check the publisher's known-issues page for your exact error code.
Thermal & background limits
Laptop and small-form-factor RTX 4090 cards throttle under load. Ensure cooling is clear and close GPU-mining or overlay software that conflicts with anti-cheat.
Refund if it simply will not run
If Black Myth: Wukong is unplayable on your RTX 4090 after fixes, most storefronts allow a refund within two hours / 14 days. See our refund guides for step-by-step appeal wording.

Why this pairing performs the way it does.
What actually bottlenecks Black Myth: Wukong on a RTX 4090
The limiting factor for this specific pairing is the RTX 4090's raw speed. As a flagship card (relative index 100/100), the RTX 4090 is the deciding factor for Black Myth: Wukong at demand tier 7/9. More GPU = more FPS, almost linearly, until you hit the ~85 FPS ceiling at 1080p.
What GPU tier Black Myth: Wukong needs
For ~60 FPS targets, based on its demand tier.
Recommended GPU tiers
Nearest real GPUs for each target (estimate).
| Target | Approx. GPU tier needed | Example GPU |
|---|---|---|
| 30 FPS @ 1080p (minimum) | index ≈ 33 | GTX 1660 Super |
| 60 FPS @ 1080p (recommended) | index ≈ 66 | RX 7700 XT |
| 60 FPS @ 1440p (high) | index ≈ 100 | RTX 4090 |
How this estimate is calculated
Full transparency on the model.
Method
Black Myth: Wukong is assigned a hardware-demand tier 7/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
