Here are the best settings for gamers who are using the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Fans of Sengoku-era Japan, did Assassin’s Creed Shadows pique your interest? Set in 1579, the game takes place during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. With its breathtaking landscapes and an entire world portraying neither black nor white but rather the gray of society back then, gamers have high expectations from AC Shadows. However, the game’s impressive visuals can be a dual-edged sword, depending on the hardware you are running it on.
Running it on capable GPUs like the AMD Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT on sub-optimal settings can take away from the experience that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is intended for. Worry not, my friends.
