Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game was released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia, while the PlayStation 5 version was released on November 12.

Engine: AnvilNext 2.0. We test using the Ultra High preset, DX12 API.

 

Our first game of the day is Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This is a title with a clear preference for AMD hardware, with the RX 6800 XT faster than even the RTX 3090 at 1440p. We can, however, see a very small difference between the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090, with the Ti card coming in around 3% slower.

Up at 4K, the Nvidia GPUs do fare better against AMD, though the RX 6900 XT is still the fastest GPU in this title. The RTX 3080 Ti averaged 59.5FPS, putting it fractionally behind the RTX 3090, though I don't think you'd notice the difference in the real world.
