In Black Myth: Wukong the processor beside a GeForce RTX 4070 Super 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 4090

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super sits at index 32 and the ultra tier starts at 63.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the ultra 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.
