YouTube’s ‘Digital Dreams’ has shared a new video, showcasing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla running in 8K on an NVIDIA RTX 4090 with Reshade Ray Tracing.
In order to capture this gameplay footage, the YouTuber used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with a Samsung EVO 970 SSD and 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000Mhz.
From the looks of it, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can run Assassin’s Creed Valhalla smoothly at 8K. Or at least it does not drop below 30fps during the scenes that the YouTuber has used. Since Digital Dreams has not included any overlay tool, it’s really hard to guess the actual framerate. While panning the camera and fighting enemies, we can definitely see a really smooth movement. Furthermore, Valhalla does not support FSR 2.0 or DLSS 2. Thus, we can assume this is native 8K unless Digital Dreams used the game’s resolution scaler.
Now I’m certain that the framerate may drop below that 50-60fps window in more demanding scenes, like big towns. Still, the fact that this GPU can run this AC game at 8K resolution is impressive. At least in my opinion. It also shows how powerful the RTX 4090 can be. Now imagine the framerates we’d be getting in this game with DLSS 2 or DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
Lastly, and speaking of 8K videos, you may be also interested in these other videos. For instance, here are Just Cause 3, GTA 5 and Crysis 3 running in 8K. You can also find The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Skyrim in 8K. Let’s also not forget the 8K videos for Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman Arkham Knight, Battlefield 1 & Metal Gear Solid 5, as well as Diablo 3, Battlefield Bad Company 2, COD: Modern Warfare, RIDE 4, Halo Remaster, Forza Horizon 5, The Witcher 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Monster Hunter Rise and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Enjoy!
