With the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, many gamers around the world are skeptical about its performance due to the recent optimization issues. However, if you have a high-end card like the AMD’s RX 7800 XT, it won’t be a problem for you.

While the performance issues are persistent with numerous high-end cards, you can always tweak your settings to increase the performance. As RX 7800 XT comes with the RDNA 3 structure, it can perform well on 4K with the Frame Generation feature.

Want to know what to tweak and what not? These settings are perfect for your graphics card. However, it is recommended to install the game in an NVMe to decrease the stuttering issues.
