Ubisoft's new trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows showcases the PC version's impressive features. The focus is on enhanced visuals and performance, with support for upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2. Ultra-wide monitor support is confirmed, along with ray tracing features (RTGI and RT Reflections), and extensive settings for optimizing performance on lower-end PCs. A built-in benchmark tool is included for easy performance testing.
Minimum PC specifications for 1080p at 30 FPS include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8GB) 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 (24GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft and Intel have collaborated to ensure strong optimization for Intel processors. AMD system performance will be evaluated post-launch. The community is keenly anticipating whether the game addresses the stuttering issues that plagued previous Assassin's Creed titles. Assassin's Creed Mirage demonstrated a significant improvement in this area compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, offering hope for a smoother experience.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches on March 20th for PC and consoles.
