Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Radeon RX 590

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon RX 590 meets Assassin’s Creed Shadows's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~30 fps at 1080p high (range 24–36, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 7600 XT (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 590 back.
Processor needed for ~30 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~30 fps.

Video memory

Radeon RX 590: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (+4 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
