Ubisoft has published the PC specifications for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which launches on November 10. Surprisingly, the highest-quality preset doesn’t include any of NVIDIA’s powerful, new GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards – only an RX 5700 XT and GeForce RTX 2080 are listed under the Ultra column.
There’s a huge catch, though. If you take a closer look at the average-performance row, you’ll notice that a paltry 30 FPS is listed next to the resolution target. What this suggests is that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players will probably need to step up to a GeForce RTX 30 Series GPU for a consistent 4K/60 FPS experience (although if Valhalla runs anything like Odyssey, a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti might work, too).
You can check out the full specifications below. Unlike the previous installment, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla calls for an SSD at all quality levels aside from minimum.
