Assassin's Creed Shadows was released in 2025. We list 48 published FPS results for it from GameGPU and TechPowerUp, covering 14 graphics cards. 1 of them hit a frame cap, CPU limit or VRAM limit in the source and count as lower bounds. Steam lists NVIDIA® GEFORCE GTX 1650 4GB / AMD RX-5500 XT 8GB / INTEL® ARC TM A380 6GB (REBAR ON)" as the minimum graphics card, a mid-range card by today's standards. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 15 of 47 times.
Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Assassin's Creed Shadows, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
