Ubisoft's new trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows showcases the PC version's impressive features. The trailer highlights support for upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, ensuring optimal performance across various hardware configurations. Ultra-wide monitor support, RTGI, and RT Reflections are also emphasized, promising a visually stunning experience. Furthermore, the developers have included a built-in benchmark tool for easy performance testing and extensive settings to cater to lower-spec PCs.
Minimum specifications for 1080p at 30 FPS include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8 GB) GPU. High-end players aiming for 4K resolution at 60 FPS with ultra settings and ray tracing enabled will require an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, and a powerful RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft and Intel's collaboration promises strong optimization for Intel processors. AMD system performance will be evaluated after launch. The game's performance is a key focus for fans, particularly regarding the stuttering issues that plagued previous Assassin's Creed titles. Mirage demonstrated a significant improvement in this area compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, raising hopes for a smoother experience in Shadows.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches on March 20th for PC and consoles.
