Black Myth: Wukong just released a helpful tool that will assess PC compatability with the game. Read on to learn more about its features.
Black Myth: Wukong Releases Free Benchmark Tool on Steam
Benchmark Tool Tests PC Compatibility Ahead of August Launch
At 10 A.M today, the official Black Myth: Wukong Twitter (X) account announced the release of a free Benchmark Tool on Steam. This tool is designed to help players check their PC’s hardware performance and system compatibility ahead of the game’s launch.
The Benchmark Tool, which is separate from the actual game and non-playable, allows users to customize settings and preview how the game will run under different graphics options. The results gathered from this tool will assist the development team in identifying potential software and hardware compatibility issues, ensuring a smoother experience when Black Myth: Wukong officially releases.
Explore and Customize Display and Graphics Settings
The Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool offers players the ability to tinker with a variety of display and graphics settings, ensuring they can tailor their experience to match their PC's capabilities. Once these settings are adjusted, running the benchmark will display your system’s Frames Per Second (FPS) performance, providing a real-time assessment of how Black Myth: Wukong will run on your setup. This detailed feedback will be invaluable for fine-tuning the game’s visual fidelity before the official release.
For those who have run graphics benchmarks before, you'll see the usual affair of going through a predefined scene. For Black Myth: Wukong, you will follow a river, pass through a forest, and conclude with a view of a castle. You won't be able to look around or move; instead, the camera follows a set path. Along the way, you'll occasionally see NPCs, some sitting, walking past, or holding torches. If it's your first time and you were hoping for an immersive look at the game’s environment or interactions, this benchmark may not meet your expectations, as it primarily focuses on providing a performance overview rather than showcasing gameplay features.
Users can adjust display options such as image calibration, aspect ratio, and display resolution. Advanced settings include customizing the frame rate cap, V-Sync, and motion blur to achieve the desired visual performance.
On the graphics side, the tool allows players to apply recommended settings or dive into more detailed options. With features like Super Resolution Sampling, Frame Generation, and NVIDIA's Full Ray Tracing, users can experiment with different graphics presets and configurations.
The game is now available for pre-order and is set to launch on August 20, 2024, at 10 AM UTC+8 on PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, and WeGame.
