Black Myth: Wukong Optimization Guide - Boost FPS by 50% or More

Article like these are fantastic and I hope TechSpot continues making these for every high profile title launch, or at the very least the most demanding ones that benefit the most from optimizing graphics settings.
This niche has been mostly filled by Digital Foundry in the last few years (though I have seen the occasional guide from here, Hardware Unboxed or Gamer Nexus), and it would be great to have more outlets doing this consistently. In fact, this article having charts showing the performance impact of each value of every setting makes it even better than DF videos, where it's usually just them talking about the settings/numbers with game footage in the background, but no concise graphs like that.
 


HUB settings with FG and dlss set to 65% quality at 4k with Tweaked 4090 and i9 14900ks.


 
Just registered to say a massive thanks to TS, this is really helpful.

Also my 2 cents here: I'm running on a 3080 + 10700 downstairs and 4080s + 4080s upstairs and these are my settings respectively (both 4k)
- 3080 - RT off, all settings cinematic, DLSS ON at 55
- 4080 - RT mid, all settings cinematic, DLSS ON at 50, no FG.

Disclaimers - I do play on 4k TV and 4k projector screen so I'm ok with even 30 FPS but with the above settings you get around 45-60 FPS while getting the best graphics, with no input lag - I'm on the 5th run of the game purely on spellbinder and use see through for all the bosses so trust me when I say there's no input lag :D
