The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 36 against the 63 that Black Myth: Wukong asks for at the ultra 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.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: GeForce RTX 4090

The GeForce RTX 5070 sits at index 36 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.
