Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Assassin's Creed Valhalla introduces a 60fps target on PlayStation 5, utilizing a dynamic resolution scaling system between 1440p and 1728p with temporal reconstruction targeting a 4K display. Performance on PS5 generally holds close to 60fps during gameplay, outperforming Xbox Series X in high-stress scenarios. However, frame drops result in screen tearing in both gameplay and cutscenes, with no VRR option available on PS5 at launch to mitigate the issue.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Assassin's Creed Valhalla targets 60fps on PS5 with dynamic resolution spanning 1440p to 1728p. Frame rates are mostly stable near 60fps, but heavy loads trigger intrusive screen tearing. The lack of VRR support on the platform prevents hardware-level smoothing of frame rate drops.
Standard Mode
PS5Uses dynamic resolution scaling ranging from 1440p (67% of 4K) to 1728p (80% of 4K) with temporal reconstruction. Includes volumetric clouds, snow displacement, and per-object motion blur.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4 Pro
On PS4 Pro, Assassin's Creed Valhalla uses dynamic resolution scaling ranging between 1824x1026 and 2560x1440, with 2304x1296 being typical. Temporal reconstruction is utilized to hit higher target resolutions, and the game supports downsampling for 1080p output.
Standard Mode
PS4 ProCommon native rendering pixel count is near 2304x1296. Employs temporal reconstruction and downsamples when outputting to 1080p displays.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 4
On base PS4, the game runs at a dynamic resolution between 1493x840 and 1920x1080, typically operating around 1728x972. Temporal reconstruction is employed to assist image clarity when rendering below native 1080p.
Standard Mode
PS4Common native pixel counts sit near 1728x972. Uses temporal reconstruction to reconstruct lower internal resolutions.
Known issues
When the engine fails to maintain the 16.7ms frame budget during heavy gameplay scenes or cutscenes, screen tearing occurs.
Performance mode experiences frequent screen tearing and frame skipping micro-hitches during gameplay.
