Black Myth Mukong
Black Myth Wukong is an action role-playing game inspired by the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West.” Developed by Game Science, it features stunning graphics, challenging combat encounters, and a captivating story based on the legendary Monkey King. Players can expect a unique blend of Chinese mythology and action-packed gameplay.
In Black Myth: Wukong at 1440p, and me being honest with you, the results are weird, mainly on the 4080, as the 5080 comes in with 13% more performance in the averages but a whopping 45% more in the lows. We did retest this over, and over, and over, but there’s potentially a bug affecting the RTX 4080 specifically, as the 4080 SUPER didn’t have the same problems, and instead, the 5080 came in packing 10% more performance in the averages and 11% more in the lows. This also puts the new Blackwell-based GPU 19% ahead of AMD’s best offering, with a 24% disparity in the lows too, and now sees it only 9% behind NVIDIA’s RTX 4090.
Then at 4K, the uplift over the 4080 increases to 20% in the averages, and a somewhat incredible 60% in the lows. Again, there’s clearly an issue with that particular card in this particular game, and could be for a multitude of reasons, of which we will investigate further as time goes on. That aside, we see 15% more performance over the 4080 SUPER in the averages, and 12% more in the lows, while compared to AMD, we see 15% more performance on the 5080 in both the averages and the lows, which also puts it around the same level behind the RTX 4090.
