Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Radeon RX 6950 XT

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 6950 XT is well above Assassin’s Creed Shadows's recommended spec. We estimate ~106 fps at 1080p high (range 85–128, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~75 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: low preset

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 6950 XT back.
Processor needed for ~106 fps: Core i5-14400 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 106.

Video memory

Radeon RX 6950 XT: 16 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (+12 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 8 GB (+8 GB headroom)
