GODLY GRAPHICS
To play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PC, your gaming desktop or gaming laptop
needs at least a 3.2GHz Intel Core i5-4460 CPU, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
(4GB) GPU, 8GB of RAM, 50GB of storage space, and the Windows 10
operating system. Using my rig, a PC with an Intel Core i7-4790 CPU and a
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, I saw frame rates dance between 45 and 60
frames per second in the open world and 60fps indoors (at 1440p resolution
with Ultra settings). Playing at 4K/Ultra settings on my LG CX OLED TV, I saw
the frame rates drop to 30fps-to-45fps range in the open world, though they hit
60fps indoors. To get the most out of Valhalla, you’ll need a near-godlike
gaming PC.
The display options include the standard PC graphical options, such as

available for purchase from Uplay and the Epic Games Store but not Steam. It’s
also available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. You can stream it on
Google Stadia and Amazon Luna.
