On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Shadows runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 38FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 38 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 44 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 38 | 62 |
| 1440p | 23 | 62 |
| 4K | 13 | 44 |
