Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the second major game by Ubisoft that is coming in a few weeks, the other one being Watch Dogs: Legion. Ubisoft recently revealed what kind of hardware PC players are going to need to take full advantage of Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Assassin’s Creed games have always been demanding for PC, and this time is no different. You are going to need some serious hardware to enjoy the game in all its glory. However, some lower-end hardware will run the game on the bare minimum settings.
Ubisoft was kind enough to release six different types of PC system requirements. It gives a detailed explanation of how much horsepower you will need for 1080p, 2K, and 4K. And thankfully, framerates are also mentioned. The game will only run on DX-12 and the GPU that supports it. Windows 10 (64-bit) is also a must.
