Assassin's Creed Shadows' final PC specs suggest ray tracing and upscaling are the new standard

Assassin's Creed Shadows requires ray tracing, upscaling, and has specific PC specs.

: Assassin's Creed Shadows mandates ray tracing and dynamic resolution with upscaling. Requirements vary by mode: selective, standard, and extended ray tracing. A minimum GTX 1070 or similar is needed, but for optimal performance, an RTX 4090 with high CPU is ideal.

Assassin's Creed Shadows sets ray tracing as mandatory, a decision that underscores the increasing importance of this technology in modern gaming. The game leverages dynamic resolution and upscaling across all graphics settings to maintain performance levels.

Three modes of ray tracing are offered: selective, standard, and extended. Each mode requires different hardware specifications, with selective ray tracing beginning with a GTX 1070, while extended ray tracing demands an RTX 4090 for the best experience.

Ubisoft has introduced proprietary solutions for older GPUs that lack ray tracing support, ensuring accessibility. With features like ray-traced illumination, ultrawide support, and various upscalers, the game's demand has pushed the release date to March 20.
