The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 18 against the 32 that Black Myth: Wukong asks for at the high tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Black Myth: Wukong: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Black Myth: Wukong the processor beside a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Processor	Index	Verdict	Bottleneck
Ryzen 5 1600	30	Will not run	processor
Ryzen 9 5900X	70	Runs well	system memory
Ryzen 7 9800X3D	95	Runs well	system memory

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: GeForce RTX 4070 Super

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti sits at index 18 and the high tier starts at 32.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the high tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".

This part alone will not get you there. video memory also falls short of that tier.
