Assassins Creed Valhalla Bench Thread

19,000
Maybe I should've added I don't overclock since I'm a new noob to this type of stuff but that doesn't mean I don't find it interesting..
and what you probably find easy I have to google it :p
I'll use 1188Mhz.

Graphics Quality need to be set to Ultra High, you'll need to re-run the benchmark applying the correct quality preset first.

Got the game downloaded but I've ended up annoying myself. So I can't beat 80 FPS in the benchmark at 3440x1440 at the ultra high present but this looks low compared to 120+ FPS scores for the 6900 XT at standard 1440p. This brings me back to a suspicion I have regarding whether or not my SAM is actually enabled. So, if I recall correctly, to enable SAM you have to have CSM disabled. I did this, however I use a sata pcie card for additional ports for my SSDs and it needs CSM enable to recognise them. So the steps I carried out were - enable SAM with CSM disabled - then back on to the bios and enabled CSM - checked the bios and it shows that SAM is still enabled. However, is the fact that I have now enabled CSM deactivating SAM even though is shows as enabled? Does anyone know the answer to this?
Run 1080P or 1440P to try and validate your results.
 
I think my issue is that a few years back I had switched to MBR as I couldn't get into the Bios any other way due to the way my monitor posted during boot up. Doing some research it's seems my best option to clean up the issue and get SAM enabled is to a fresh install of Windows but I keep hearing He-man's mate Man-at-Arms saying "I have a bad feeling about this" when I think about doing it.

Anyway, enough grumbling and time to contribute properly to the thread with some scores. These are without SAM enabled:

Yep reinstall Windows in UEFI mode 20H2 build, CSM disabled in BIOS and Secure Boot enabled in BIOS, and get SAM enabled. Will add your scores later. :)
 
Got it sorted! I was so reluctant to do a fresh install of windows that I bought a 1TB Nvme drive to replace the 500GB SSD and 250GB NVMe drive I had, allowing me to discard the pcie extension card that I needed to enable CSM for. That still didn't allow for SAM to kick in so, bought a 2TB external hard drive so I could do a back up and then fresh install of window. 5 hours and £160 spend later I can now bench 150 FPS in Valhalla. Updated scores incoming...

UPDATE: So after thinking I had it sorted, I copied some of my back up files and folders over to my C drive, went to benchmark and discovered I had lost the performance again! Reinstalled Windows again and have not moved anything back over and all is good. There must be something on my old C drive that is preventing SAM from working!?

Anyway, after what has turned out to be a complete saga, I believe I fully deserve these awesome scores:

Did some more tweaking and I top the 3080 1440p list. Woohoo!

Sorry for the delay gents, scoreboard updated. :)
 
Re-ran these using the new Adrenalin 21.4.1 drivers.

i don't think resizable bar can save this game for nvidia cards. even without sam, 5700xt beats 3060ti and evens out with 3070

it simply is super optimized for rdna 2 (i don't it this performance disperancy is deliberate. it is rather a result of rdna1/rdna2 sharing similar charasteristics with nextgen consoles. this game was especially optimized for rdna2 gpus in ps5 and xbox and it shows. same story in godfall where it excels with rdna2. ubisoft probably did their best optimization for consoles, and that reflected itself on pc rdna performance. i really don't think amd bought their way into this performance disperancy.

it proves that nvidia's architectures derail greatly from consoles, and nvidia probably does some special magic or use their market power to influence developers to optimize optimally for their games but they can only influence so much, and they can only influence for their most recent architectures... in horizon zero dawn, we saw that rx 580 beat 1060 by a hefty %40-50 margin, only to be fixed 4 months later. even when it's fixed, rx 580 still performs near 1070, similar to the red dead redemption 2. it was apparent that developer did not need to do "active" work for rx 580, since it pretty much shared an improved architecture over a ps4. yet pascal performed bad without any optimiziation involved. it also proved that if developer does not actively optimize for nvidia's architecture, performance falls flat for older nvidia cards

Thought I would give it a whirl with resizable bar now on 3xxx and z390 board of mine.
