The team over at Digital Foundry have created a new comparison video putting the new PlayStation 5 vs PC while playing the new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla game. Launched last month, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available to play on the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC systems. It offers players an open-world action role-playing game experience and is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin’s Creed series. It serves as a successor to the 2018 game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
“Set in 873 AD, the game recounts a fictional story during the Viking invasion of Britain. The player controls Eivor, a Viking raider who becomes embroiled in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order.”
Gameplay and Visuals
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has been praised for its stunning visuals and immersive gameplay. The game allows players to explore a richly detailed world filled with historical landmarks, lush landscapes, and bustling towns. The attention to detail in the game’s environment is remarkable, with dynamic weather systems and realistic lighting effects that enhance the overall experience.
The game also introduces new gameplay mechanics, such as the ability to build and upgrade a settlement, engage in Viking raids, and participate in large-scale battles. These additions provide a fresh and engaging experience for both new players and long-time fans of the series.
Performance Comparison: PS5 vs PC
“Just how much PC horsepower are you going to need to match or exceed PS5 performance? In this video, Alex Battaglia breaks down the visual make-up of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on a per settings basis then stacks up a range of PC GPUs against the PS5’s fidelity and performance level. Oh, and if you’re looking for optimized performance settings for the PC game, look no further.”
The comparison video by Digital Foundry delves deep into the performance metrics of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on both the PlayStation 5 and various PC configurations. The PS5 version of the game runs at a stable 60 frames per second (FPS) with dynamic 4K resolution, providing a smooth and visually impressive experience. The console’s powerful hardware, including its custom SSD and advanced GPU, allows it to handle the game’s demanding graphics with ease.
On the other hand, achieving similar performance on a PC requires a high-end setup. The video highlights that a PC with an NVIDIA RTX 3080 or AMD RX 6800 XT GPU can match or exceed the PS5’s performance, but at a significant cost. Additionally, the video provides optimized settings for PC players to achieve the best balance between visual quality and performance.
The comparison also touches on the differences in load times between the two platforms. Thanks to the PS5’s ultra-fast SSD, load times are significantly shorter compared to most PC setups, providing a more seamless gaming experience.
In conclusion, while the PS5 offers an excellent out-of-the-box experience for playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, PC players with high-end hardware can achieve even better performance and visual fidelity. However, this comes at a higher cost and requires careful optimization of settings.
