What will be interesting is if the console versions ship with a "quality mode" that targets 30FPS with better graphical features.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – PC Specs Revealed
- Thread starter Xando
- Start date
(with Ubi open world games)
Lol not really, but it looks more demanding than usual. Like, 1080p60 at medium/high, is it possible? 1080 for 1080p60fps High is bonkers.
The specs for Valhalla suggest that the game's performance is very similar to AC Odyssey's actually, and that game came out 2 years ago. You needed a 2080ti/8700k for consistent 1440p/60fps, and not even with max settings.
3090 with 3900xt (soon to be 5900x), 32GB and 4.0 nvme should be enough for max settings @ 3440x1440? I also plan to play occasionally in 4K/120 on the oled, but probably at dropped settings, hence I rather stick to the ultrawide

Do we know yet if PC is getting the next-gen version or the PS4/Xbox One equivalent? The setting requirements don't seem terribly different from Odyssey.
AMD will be in an interesting spot wrt RT support in "their" games during RDNA2 vs Ampere generation as adding RT into a game will likely mean that AMD h/w will start loosing to NV h/w whereas without RT they'll be tied or may even be faster. So it's not too surprising them not pushing for the inclusion of RT here.
Are we sure of that or is that you assuming? Those upgraded character models don't look typical of PS4 or Xbox One, and in generational transitions PC often gets stuck with the last-gen version.
It occurred to me during the "PC Features" video where they talked about "We worked closely with AMD" that the reason they've been totally mum on the subject (not even saying that there won't be RT in the game) is simply because AMD hasn't shown their hand yet. They're probably under NDA to not talk about how AMD-optimized games will handle RT or if such a thing even exists.
Then I thought about Watch Dogs and how it's already shown off RT, and sure enough, when I went back to watch that game's PC Features video, there it was... "We worked closely with Nvidia".

You'll be lucky if you manage to get 60fps at 1080p with that config.
You mean 1440p being 60FPS and 4k being 30FPS like I put into my post? 🤔
I still think it's bit weird to put lower SKU GPU for higher resolution.
Edit: Saw your edit. If it's CPU holding shit back then one would think they would assume 10900K or some such?

My edit came in too late :P I think 60 fps is more of a CPU bottleneck
This isn't EA. There's no "version" that's drastically different one to another, next-gen isn't on a whole new engine with drastically different everything. Next-gen Valhalla will be last-gen Valhalla with slightly better textures, higher rendering resolution, and higher framerate. That's it. Ditto for the PC version, which is what we've been watching this whole time.
By these specs, the PS5 should be in line with enthusiast, while the Series X is in line with Ultra.
I assume they made a mistake on the enthusiast spec, and it's supposed to say RTX 2070 S, otherwise they have the Nvidia cards backwards between enthisiast and Ultra (2080 S is more powerful than a 2080).
I also assume 4k60fps would be called something like Ultra+, and require an RTX 3080/3090, or Big Navi (once it's announced). It's possible no card on the market will be able to hit 4k60 without dialing down some settings though, if a 2080 can only do 4k30 at Ultra.
Dang, no DLSS. Probably means I'm waiting for a sale on the gold ver. later on XSX. I'm in a weird spot since I have an older CPU (4790K) w/ a more recent GPU (2070S), so it's hard to tell sometimes. DLSS has been so amazing though for games like Control and Death Stranding. Such a bummer when it's not in a big, demanding AAA PC release.
1080ti isnt that far behind the 2080s. Guessing you'll do fine w a mix of high and very high
Yeah I agree. I don't even game on ultra much, I usually do a mix of high and medium. There's also Hardware Unboxed as that channel did recommended settings for Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
they might just well be, on like medium equivalent settings. Won't know until analysis
The same as a console owner choosing a visuals mode versus performance.
probably between high and enthusiast. closer to enthusiast
im definitely doubting it will run native 4k on them if ubis claim of 60 fps is true, expecting dynamic res thats closer to 1440p than 4k
I would guess it will be dynamic/checkerboard 4k60 and they might offer an high-end, visual fidelity at 4k30. Seems the direction most games are going.
When did ubisoft games were last gen on pc during cross gen phase?
As always, there will be one or two settings that absolutely murder performance on ultra, and can be dropped to high or medium for very little visual downgrade but a huge fps boost.
If the last two AC games are anything to go by, it's the volumetric clouds settings here.

Why not? It depends entirely on the game, and when it comes to AC, in the past I've locked framerate to 30 in order to get the best visuals possible. Older AC games have often had some pretty bad optimization issues that made it hard to hit a consistent 60 in the first place. I doubt that's the case here, but it's still a matter of preference.
Zero chance of DLSS, I'm afraid, as it's an AMD-sponsored game. IIRC, though, Ubi's temporal reconstruction method is considered to be pretty good, with an internal rendering resolution of 80% being the magic number. It won't compare favourably to DLSS in either performance uplift or image quality, of course, but something is better than nothing.

Ubisoft pc turds are not even worth torrenting. an R9 380 and a haswell trump all over the base consoles. Console optimization I know but ubisoft and poor pc ports go hand in hand.
Unless the base consoles run the game at lower than low settings. But this is not going to be the case. Watch the GTX 970 and the ps4 go neck and neck.
