![]() ![]() Valhalla is the first Assassin's Creed game that's also going to be on next-gen consoles, and both Microsoft and Sony have said that the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions of the game will be able to run at 4K 60fps. To be suddenly told you'll now only able to manage playing the game at 1080p on High with the same setup is enough to give anyone a nasty case of the upgrade sweats.Īdmittedly, the sudden increase in PC requirements for Valhalla could simply be a result of what's going on in console land. We'll find out in due course if Ubisoft have been rather conservative in their Valhalla PC requirements, but if they do turn out to be accurate then that's quite the come down if you've been merrily playing Odyssey at 4K for the last two years. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Is there a word in old Norse for "Big yikes?" It's also worryingly similar to Odyssey's recommended 4K spec, particularly in the old GPU department. As you can see below, though, it's quite the leap from its Recommended spec. Indeed, Ubisoft's 'High' spec for Valhalla is intended for exactly that: 1080p, High at 60fps. That Ubisoft are only predicting 30fps speeds for Valhalla with this GPU shows it's clearly going to be a bit of a brute when it comes to getting it running at a similar speed. Then again, a GTX 1060 was enough to hit 60fps at 1920x1080 in Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn on their respective High quality settings, and my own benchmarks showed it was possible to hit an average of 63fps on High with a GTX 1060 in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) / AMD Radeon RX 570 (8GB) Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 Recommended PC specs (High, 1080p, 30fps) Like several big games of 2020 including Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn and Baldur's Gate 3, Ubisoft have listed an Nvidia GTX 1060 and AMD RX 570 as the recommended GPU for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and its CPU requirements aren't that much of a leap from what we saw on Odyssey, either. ![]() Thankfully, the recommended PC specs for Valhalla (which aim to deliver 30fps speeds on High at 1920x1080, just like Odyssey's did), should be fairly manageable for most people.

In fact, I found that Odyssey was actually easier to run than its predecessor in my big graphics performance test, but I'm not sure I'll be able to say the same about Valhalla after looking at those PC specs. Indeed, while some advancement in PC requirements is to be expected given the fact that Odyssey came out two years ago, this is a much bigger jump than what we saw between Origins and Odyssey. ![]() I'll also be doing lots of in-depth graphics performance testing on the game myself closer to release, but this jump in specs does have me a little worried. In short, they're proper demanding these Valhalla specs, as what once passed for Ubisoft's recommended 4K spec in Odyssey is now only suitable for High at 1080p in ye olde England.įortunately, Ubisoft have confirmed that, like Odyssey, Valhalla will have its own built-in benchmark for PC so you can see exactly what kind of performance your machine can manage once it comes out. UPDATE: My recommendations for the best PC settings for AC Valhalla are now liveĪssassin's Creed Odyssey remains one of the most demanding games you can play on PC right now, but having taken a closer look at Ubisoft's recently released PC requirements for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it looks like Eivor and the rest of their Viking pals will be sticking a much heavier boot into our PC's performance than even Kassandra's mighty Spartan kick. ![]()
