Assassin's Creed Shadows on PC - how does it run?

let it finish compiling shaders on first launch before you judge it. the first few minutes stutter on most pcs and people refund thinking that's how it runs.

Better than most recent Ubisoft launches honestly. It's heavy, mostly on VRAM and CPU in the towns, but it scales down well. DLSS, FSR and XeSS are all in there, so on a mid range card turn upscaling on before you start dropping texture quality. Ray traced lighting is the big performance hit. Put it on the lowest/hideout-only option if you're struggling, the game still looks great without it. Make sure the game is on an SSD too, the streaming in big areas doesn't like a hard drive.
