Best Assassin’s Creed Shadows settings for the AMD RX 6800 (2026)

On a AMD RX 6800 (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Shadows runs at roughly 69 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 45FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6800 is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 69 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 45 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 74 FPS at 1080p and 69 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 63 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. One of the most demanding recent AAA titles - upscaling is strongly recommended.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. VRAM-hungry at Ultra.
Environment QualityHighbaseline
Overall world detail, draw distance and geometry quality. The biggest single GPU lever.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is reliable - Ultra adds cost for subtle gain.
Cloud QualityHighbaseline
Detail and layering of volumetric clouds across the Japanese landscape. Moderately expensive for how subtle it is.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Water and surface reflections. High is a solid middle ground.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Medium is a safe, cheap saving.
Global IlluminationHighbaseline
Bounced ambient lighting. Heavy; High over Ultra is a strong saving.
Vegetation QualityHighbaseline
Grass and tree density across the landscape. A real cost in lush areas.
Fog QualityHighbaseline
Detail and density of volumetric fog and haze. A solid, low-risk saving.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Detail of rivers, sea and reflections. Moderate cost near water.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
