[FPS Benchmarks] Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W) – the 130W video card is 22% faster

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the latest installment of the popular series and it’s one of the biggest gaming hits of 2020 alongside Cyberpunk 2077. The single-player campaign is really long and it’s full of Viking battles and interesting missions.

The game is based on the same engine as its predecessors – Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey. And just like them, the new one isn’t the lightest game out there – this big open world needs a lot of system resources if you want to see it on Ultra details.

Without further ado, let’s see how fast are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W) when it comes to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Verdict

Expectedly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) won the match and it 22% faster compared to the 75W GPU. The latter isn’t slow by any means – 58 FPS on Ultra quality is a great result for a video card with such a modest TGP. Aside from that, the 130W contender offers a bit smoother experience on High and Ultra Quality but on the other hand, it costs more.
