Assassin's Creed Valhalla PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Thank you so much for this post! I'm jumping in now (almost 13 hours early!!!)!
Are you running RTSS? Some games won't start if that's running in the background.
Ok so def the biggest killer of FPS is the anti aliasing. Putting it to low from high gives me over 20% fps boost and I can now play the game at 4k with a mix of ultra and very high at almost locked 60 on a 2080ti. Theres no jaggies at this resolution on low anyhow. I will see if Im able to turn off AA completely in the .ini files though because the game is pretty blurry and washed on all AA settings sadly.
I've been reviewing this over the last few days, and have run into a realllyyy weird performance bug in the form of the framerate just tanking whenever I alt-tab out, or when I use a wireless controller, which drops the connection with windows (what) and when I switch from a (wired) controller to keyboard and mouse. You can see it in action below. Outside of that it hovers around 60fps on ultra ingame at 1440p with a RTX 3070 and Ryzen 3600.
Is the "AA" option in this game really a resolution scaler like it was in Odyssey? If so, that would explain why you get such a major performance boost when you set it to Low
Lots of big releases this week. I imagine they are working on optimizations for those.
Wireless controllers and Windows don't work, even if you're using the Xbox wireless dongle. Look it up and you'll find constant reports of stutter and games dropping performance, it happened to me when trying to play RDR2 on a BT Xbox controller.
Going from controller to M&K and still having stutter yeah that's a weird one though.
RTX 2070, [email protected], and 16GB RAM here. Using a 1080p monitor, and I wonder if I could run ACV in 60FPS on Ultra or VH settings.
I changed Input Mode from Hybrid to Xbox Controller in the Controls tab of the Options menu and it seems to have worked - no freezes after alt tabbing.
Bluetooth controller? I had strange issues with Gears 5 where for some reason a bluetooth controller would put a hard limit on framerate and have it chug, yet if I used the microsoft wireless adapter, everything worked fine.
Finally made it through the intro, but then crashed while the game was just sitting on the menu screen. Not sure what's going on...
I have a hard time seeing any differences in resolution when changing AA but if thats how it worked in previous games then maybe thats how it is here too.
I had a similar controller bug with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - when using a wireless Xbox controller the framerate would randomly dip to single digits and stay there until I plugged it in or powered it off entirely. Odd.
According to this article by DSO it is surprisingly good news!
Assassin's Creed Valhalla PC Performance Analysis
Similarly to all other AC games, Valhalla uses the AnvilNext Engine so it's time to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform.

I am actually quite excited by this, bad CPU performance has been the sole reason why I've been avoiding Ubisoft games.
I'm using Freedome and it doesnt work .... MY vpn is connected to Australia ... The Ubiconnect store is all AUD and stuff as well, but Valhalla is still under "pre load" status.
Restart Ubi Connect again. I had to restart it multiple times.
Check your AMD account. Got mine 2 hours ago. Already downloading it...
Nice, excellent news. Looking forward to play thisAccording to this article by DSO it is surprisingly good news!

Trying now .... Is it because I bought this via EGS Store? because it says EGS store unlock is the 11th .... However I downloaded it both via my EGS store and also managed to preload the game for a second time via Ubiconnect.
^ Done it multiple times .... Doesnt seem to work .... Did you guys buy it off EGS or Ubisoft store?
Had same problem with RDR2. Switching to microsoft wireless adapter fix everything (Elite 2 controller).
And so it was there! Thanks for the heads up. I was actually waiting for an email confirmation about it.

Do note that Valhalla also benefits from higher RAM frequencies. Our older Intel i7 4930K was not maxed out, even when running the game at 1280x720. At scenes when the GPU was slightly under-used (88-92%), none of our CPU cores/threads were maxed out. So yeah, be sure to use fast RAM modules, even on older CPUs.
I still can't play more than 5-10 minutes without a CTD... I'm really not sure what's going on here. :(

its the vpn somehow, had 2 crashes aswell now it runs without issues for like 2 hours
Yeah if it's the VPN then I give up on trying to play before official release. I've crashed at least 8 times now, always under 10 minutes from starting to play.
Was having a good time, everything was set to max and I reduced the AA to medium, played smooth af - 9700k + 2080 Ti, installed on an NVME.
Then the VPN trial ran out :(
