Best Assassin’s Creed Shadows settings for the Intel Arc B580 (2026)

On a Intel Arc B580 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Shadows runs at roughly 79 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 59FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 79 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 59 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 79 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	59	79
1440p	35	60
4K	20	61

🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — XeSSQuality+35% 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.
