Assassin's Creed Shadows' final PC specs suggest ray tracing and upscaling are the new standard
The use of ray tracing is not optional
What just happened? You might not care much about ray tracing, but video game makers certainly do. The final PC requirements for Assassin's Creed Shadows have arrived, and, much like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, turning off ray tracing effects isn't an option. Also, the given resolutions are specified as "using dynamic resolution and upscaling."
