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

 

Let's kick off the games testing with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. At 1080p, the RTX 3060 averaged 65FPS, sitting right between the RTX 2060 Super and the RX 5700. It's also 16% faster than the RTX 2060, but 16% slower than the RX 5700 XT.

Up at 1440p, the RTX 3060 is now dead even with the RX 5700, as both hit 52FPS. The higher resolution also sees the RTX 3060 scale better compared to its predecessor, as it is now 21% faster than the RTX 2060.
