Are you struggling to get playable framerates with RTX 4070 / Super / Ti Super in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? We have a solution for you.
Does modern-day mid-range hardware feel underwhelming? Fear not; we are in the same boat. The RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti offer equivalent performance to the RTX 3080 and 3090 Ti class of GPUs, which were super high-end by 2020. But this is 2025, and everyone has boarded the ray tracing bandwagon, resulting in capable hardware falling to its knees.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a prime example of ray tracing artistry at its core. The game offers incredible visual fidelity with its vast open world, dynamic weather system, and a fantastic representation of volumetrics, such as clouds and fog. Developers have gone all out on the visual details to ensure an eye-candy experience. However, in terms of optimization, there is much to be desired. Even the RTX 4080 / Super struggles to run very high settings smoothly without tuning.
Which brings us to today’s discussion: What are the best settings for your RTX 4070 (Super / Ti / Ti Super) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Let’s find out.
Note: Gamers on 4K with the 4070 Ti Super should be fine with higher settings that consume more VRAM, such as shadow quality, texture streaming, water and particle quality, etc. Rest assured: With our settings, you can easily swap in the Transformer model and use an aggressive upscaling profile for more clarity and FPS. Lastly, you can use our settings as a baseline and tweak it further!

Balancing Performance & Visual Fidelity
Due to Nvidia’s excellent product naming schemes, we have three sets of 70-class products in one line. We mentioned all of these to solve discrepancies so that gamers using either would find our solution helpful. Gamers with the RTX 4070 / Super / Ti (any 12GB iteration) using desktop resolutions beyond 1440p, including ultrawide users, should use our dynamic resolution settings.
These settings balance visual fidelity and stable performance, ensuring smooth gameplay without unnecessary VRAM bottlenecks or CPU overhead. We hope this guide helps you get the most out of your hardware. Enjoy Assassin’s Creed Shadows!
