PC Setting Adjustment Advice for Wukong

PC Setting Adjustment Advice for:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
ventus RTX 3060 (not ti),
32GB ram
good SSD and alot of space
msi optix g32 series curved monitor

I was wondering if my current equipment will work for wukong.
I can run sekiro : shadows die twice and it look like a movie but I cant seem to make the same effect with the benchmark tool.
Is there any recommended settings that will make it better?
Or do I need to upgrade parts on my end?
Do I have to overclock my GC?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

FSR with frame generation on, quality (75% for up to 1440p) which will perform better than DLSS which can't use frame generation on 30xx cards, preset to high, maybe set global illumination and shadows to medium, try that, with a 3070ti I get around 100 FPS average.

According to gamegpu, the game isn't CPU bound whatsoever, i3s get the same performance as a 7800x3D or 14900k.

Using the cinematic setting (without RT), your GPU gets 21fps average at 1080p.

Daniel Owen used your card to see how it fares. It can do 1080p DLAA medium at just around 60fps, but it drops below it here and there:

With DLSS at 66% resolution scale, you can also play the game at 55ish fps. using his recommended settings, which look better than medium, but will give you the 55 instead of 60fps performance metric.

Also, keep in mind that nVidia will release game ready drivers, probably boosting the fps some more.

Just don't have any fantasies about enabling RT and you're good to go.

I don't know if frame gen on nVidia is better than on AMD, but I tried AFMF on my 7900xt yesterday in Elden Ring and it was absolutely horrendous. The game was running at 120fps but felt like 30fps, absolutely horrible input latency. Had to disable it after 5 mins. Given that this game is a fast paced soulslike, frame gen is a huge no.

That's the problem, you can't use NVidia frame generation with RTX 30xx cards, so you can only use DLSS without any FG, but you can use FSR 3 with frame generation on NVidia 30xx cards.

I tested DLSS 75% 1440p on my 3070ti and I was getting around 75 FPS avg, with FSR and AMD FG I was getting 100 average, high preset, etc.

Oh right. Aren't there any mods that enable DLSS 3.5 and FG on older nVidia cards? The hardware of 3xxx series should be able to handle it given it has RT and Tensor cores, it's kind of an arbitrary lock.

But as I said, don't be fooled by the fps numbers, FG is completely unusable even at locked 60 going to 120. Watching a benchmark with zero input and actually playing a game are two entirely different things.

I recommend the OP to sticking to native 1080p using the settings from the video posted above with no upscaling whatsoever or DLSS with 85-90% resolution scale and using said settings to ensure mostly stable 60fps. FSR/AFMF just isn't worth it imo, and that's saying a lot given I'm an AMD user.

I think your settings and fps is fine with DLSS, I'd just stick with that instead of going the FSR/AFMF route, but that's just what I'd do.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same, I'd say the same applies for a 3060, DLSS at quality should be decent enough.
