1. Open Assassin’s Creed Shadows main menu.
2. Click on System > Video > Display.
3. Scroll down until you see Upscaler Type.
4. Here you can choose between different graphic card options.

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you have several Upscaler options:

• DLSS (for NVIDIA cards)
• AMD FSR
• Intel XeSS
• PAA
