Assassin’s Creed Shadows is releasing on March 20, 2025, across different platforms such as PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mac. The latest addition to the highly popular Assassin's Creed franchise takes place in Awaji Islands, Japan. Based on the system requirements, the game does not appear to be demanding.

Thus, gamers who own the RTX 3080 or the RTX 3080 Ti should be able to play it at 1440p resolution with ray tracing enabled. However, we recommend tweaking the settings to avoid any issues.

This article provides the best settings for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti.

Those who own the RTX 3080 can experience Assassin’s Creed Shadows at a resolution of 1440p with a stable 60fps. We recommend enabling the High preset for most settings to produce stunning visuals and graphics. Ray tracing has been upped to Medium quality, while AMD FSR has been set to Quality.

As a result, the game should be visually immersive and will run smoothly performance-wise. Moreover, the Texture Streaming Pool can be set to High as the RTX 3080 comes with 12GB VRAM.
