[FPS Benchmarks] Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (105W) and RTX 3060 (100W) – the bigger GPU is 26% faster on Ultra
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a true blockbuster that was released at the end of 2020. In terms of graphics, the game isn’t a big upgrade over the previous two Assassin’s Creed titles – the main reason for this is that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla uses the same engine. Nevertheless, the game looks good and in addition, it’s quite heavy on Ultra quality.
In most cases, a powerful (and expensive) machine is the way to go if you want to see a lot of FPS and eye-candy visual quality. That’s why for this comparison we have prepared two good Ampere video cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (105W) and RTX 3060 (100W).
