Assassin’s Creed Valhalla PC Performance Review and Optimization Guide

1080p Performance – Benchmark Results

For our testing, we used Assassins Creed Valhalla’s integrated benchmark, as it accurately simulates demanding scenes within the game. If you get an average framerate of over 60 FPS in this benchmark, you will be able to run most of the game at 60 FPS framerates. That said, deeper dips are possible in some scenes, making the benchmarks lower percentile framerates useful for “worst-case-scenario” style simulations.

At High settings, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an incredibly demanding title on PC, with AMD’s RX 5700 XT surpassing Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Ti in our 1080p tests. However, the RTX 2080 Ti reasserts its dominance at higher resolutions.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla loves AMD’s RDNA architecture, which makes sense given the game’s AMD partnership and the game’s optimisations for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

As we have noted before, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla looks great at medium settings, and at these settings, higher framerates are a lot easier to achieve. If you own a VRR display, these games will look and run great on AMD’s RX 580 and GTX 1060 graphics cards despite their age. That said, lowering the game’s AA setting to low will keep these GPUs at or above 60 FPS under most circumstances.
