Assassin's Creed Shadows - PC System Requirements

With the game being tailored to run on a variety of setups (both Low and High-End) you can expect a wide range of settings, and the minimum CPU is a Intel® Core™ i7 8700k/ AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600 paired with a Nvidia® GeForce GTX 1070 8GB / AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB / Intel® Arc A580 8GB to get a Low 1080p (using upscaling) at 30 FPS. For those who want to push the game even higher, the top end enthusiasts should aim to have at least an Intel i7 13700k/ AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D paired with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 24GB if you want to run the game at Extreme 4k (using upscaling) at 60 FPS.

Of course there's still room between those, check out the full list below to see where your machine stacks up.

As always we'd recommend making sure you have the latest drivers for your Graphics Card to ensure the smoothest experience at release - AMD / Nvidia.
