The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 47 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.
