On a NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Assassin’s Creed Shadows runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 43FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p 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 Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 66 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 66 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 49 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 DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 43 | 66 |
| 1440p | 26 | 62 |
