Black Myth: Wukong is a 2024 action role-playing game developed and published by Game Science. The game is inspired by the classical Chinese novel ‘Journey to the West' and follows an anthropomorphic monkey based on Sun Wukong from the novel. Black Myth: Wukong was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on August 20, 2024, with an Xbox Series X/S version to be released at a later date. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 5. We test using the Cinematic preset, TSR set to 100% render scale, DX12 API.

Black Myth: Wukong appears to be something of a problem for the Battlemage family, given the B570 is actually second bottom in this title. It only managed 22fps on average – and granted, it is a highly demanding game – but it's slower than even the Arc A750, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
