On a NVIDIA GTX 660 (2GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Shadows runs at roughly 28 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 8FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 660 (2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB 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 is a real challenge at 1080p — about 28 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 28 FPS at 1080p and 17 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 10 FPS at 4K. With only 2GB 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.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 8 | 28 |
| 1440p | 5 | 17 |
| 4K | 3 | 10 |
