The NVIDIA RTX 4090 is a flagship 4K-class card with 24GB of VRAM, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU it averages about 78 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 58 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 171 | 169 |
| 1440p | 103 | 102 |
| 4K | 58 | 78 |
At 1080p expect around 169 FPS, at 1440p about 102 FPS, and at 4K roughly 78 FPS with optimized settings. Its 24GB of VRAM is plenty for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
