Valhalla PC specs revealed: epic flexibility unveiled
Valhalla PC specs revealed show Ubisoft handing players a buffet of performance targets, from humble GTX 960 rigs to RTX 2080 beasts.
Valhalla PC specs revealed—six presets for every Viking
Valhalla PC specs revealed today confirm Ubisoft isn’t playing the old “minimum vs. recommended” game. Instead, we get six clearly labeled performance tiers, plus a laundry list of PC-exclusive bells and whistles. Whether you’re raiding monasteries on a budget laptop or pillaging in 4K ultra-wide glory, there’s a preset waiting for you.
Quick-glance spec sheet
| Target | Preset | Resolution / FPS | GPU Example | VRAM | CPU Example | RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 30 fps 1080p | GTX 960 4 GB | 4 GB | i5-4460 | 8 GB | HDD okay | |
| High | 30 fps 1080p | GTX 1060 6 GB | 6 GB | i7-4790 | 8 GB | SSD preferred | |
| High | 60 fps 1080p | GTX 1080 8 GB | 8 GB | i7-6700 | 8 GB | SSD strongly preferred | |
| Very High | 30 fps 1440p | GTX 1070 8 GB | 8 GB | i7-7700 | 16 GB | SSD | |
| Very High | 60 fps 1440p | RTX 2080 S 8 GB | 8 GB | i7-8700K | 16 GB | SSD | |
| Ultra High | 30 fps 4K | RTX 2080 8 GB | 8 GB | i9-9700K | 16 GB | SSD required |
All presets demand Windows 10 64-bit, DirectX 12, and 50 GB storage (SSD recommended across the board).
PC-exclusive flair
- Uncapped frame rate – let that 144 Hz monitor flex.
- Hybrid input – swap between M/KB and controller on the fly.
- Multi-monitor & 21:9 support – perfect for panoramic fjords.
- Built-in benchmark – stress test before the first longship ride.
- Dynamic resolution scaler – keeps 60 fps even when London gets crowded.
Why SSD is suddenly “required”
Ubisoft soft-requires an SSD starting with the 1440p 60 fps tier. The reason is simple: next-gen consoles stream assets at lightning speed. If your spinning rust takes 45 seconds to load a raid, the game looks last-gen by comparison. An average SATA SSD cuts load times to ~12 seconds; NVMe drives push them under 6.
Upgrade checklist before launch day
- Check your VRAM – 4 GB is the new floor.
- Update GPU drivers – Ubisoft recommends the latest WHQL package.
- Clean install Windows 10 build 1909+ – older builds lack DX12 feature level 12_0.
- Grab a spare 60 GB SSD – prices are under $60 for 500 GB SATA.
- Run the built-in benchmark first – tweak shadows and clouds before diving into the story.
Bottom line
Valhalla PC specs revealed prove Ubisoft wants every Viking to raid in style, not just the RTX elite. Tweak six presets, benchmark on day one, and you’ll be sailing the English coast at the frame rate you choose—no human sacrifice required.
