Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool vs GameBench

Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool is a free Windows application for measuring PC hardware performance and system compatibility. It renders a real-time sequence from Black Myth: Wukong, while allowing users to change graphics settings and preview resulting visual and performance differences. The benchmark is a separate, non-playable application rather than the game itself. Game Science says it is available through Steam and can be downloaded without owning the game. Minimum requirements include 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM, 9 GB available storage and DirectX 11. Recommended hardware includes an Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500, with the same memory and storage, plus DirectX 12. Both specifications were tested with DLSS, FSR or XeSS enabled. Results can indicate compatibility issues and performance risks, but may differ from actual gameplay because scenarios vary.

GameBench provides tools for measuring, analyzing and optimizing game performance. With GameBench Pro, users connect an Android or iOS device, choose a game, measure its performance and upload results to a dashboard. GameBench Injector adds instrumentation to APK or IPA builds without requiring developer code changes. Metrics include frame rate, CPU, GPU, memory, power, battery, network usage, screenshots and thermal throttling. The web dashboard stores and visualizes sessions, trends, apps, devices and collections for comparison. Its API supports token creation, session searches, session details and time-series metrics; Jira integration can create engineering tickets linked to sessions. Dashboard accounts support SSO and LDAP, and companies can require multi-factor authentication. Enterprise customers can run a private dashboard on their own infrastructure. The native SDK supports Android 5.0+, 64-bit iOS 10.0+ and tvOS 10.0+, for hardware platforms only. Pricing is on request, and a 28-day trial is listed. The trial includes 30 minutes of Pro testing, unlimited sessions and SDK sessions, full API access, and all metrics and analytics.
