Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game was released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia, while the PlayStation 5 version was released on November 12.

Engine: AnvilNext 2.0. We test using the Ultra High preset, DX12 API.

 

Our first game of the day is Assassin's Creed Valhalla, where at 1080p the RX 6600 XT delivers an average of 78FPS. As you might expect considering this is an AMD-sponsored title, that frame rate blows the RTX 3060 out of the water, as AMD's GPU is 23% faster. It's also just about level with both the RTX 3060 Ti and RX 5700 XT, which all deliver pretty much identical performance.

At 1440p though, the 6600 XT's lead is cut to 16% over the RTX 3060, which is still very strong, but it is closer than at 1080p. We can also see the RTX 3060 Ti averaging 5FPS more than the 6600 XT, making AMD's GPU about 8% slower here.
