Ubisoft has provided additional technical insights into the ray tracing capabilities of its upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, following the release of the official PC system requirements. The game introduces three distinct ray tracing modes, each tailored to enhance visual fidelity while maintaining accessibility for a wide range of hardware configurations.

Selective ray tracing is employed exclusively within the Hideout portion of the game. This area is central to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, offering an unprecedented level of player customization. Unlike the open-world environments, where pre-calculated global illumination is sufficient, the Hideout requires a real-time approach due to the dynamic changes driven by player actions.

To achieve this, ray tracing is used for real-time global illumination, providing enhanced lighting accuracy and detail in the customizable Hideout environment. For players using older GPUs without hardware ray tracing support, Ubisoft has developed a proprietary software-based ray tracing solution. This innovative approach ensures that older, pre-RTX GPUs can still deliver a competent visual experience, reflecting the developer’s commitment to broad hardware compatibility.

In the open-world gameplay, ray tracing is disabled to optimize performance and ensure smooth gameplay, regardless of hardware specifications.

Standard ray tracing leverages the hardware ray tracing capabilities of modern GPUs to compute real-time global illumination. This mode enhances lighting realism, creating lifelike interactions between light sources and game environments. Players can expect significant improvements in overall lighting quality, adding depth and realism to their surroundings.

This mode strikes a balance between visual enhancement and performance, making it an optimal choice for players looking to enjoy improved visuals without compromising frame rates on supported GPUs.

Extended ray tracing represents the most advanced implementation of the technology in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This mode utilizes hardware ray tracing to compute both real-time global illumination and reflections. By adding realistic reflections to the game world, this mode offers a highly immersive visual experience. Surfaces such as water, glass, and metallic objects will accurately reflect their surroundings, adding a new layer of detail to the game’s aesthetics.

While this mode demands the highest level of GPU performance, it provides a cutting-edge visual experience for players equipped with high-end hardware.

Ubisoft emphasizes that all ray tracing options are entirely customizable, ensuring players have control over their visual and performance preferences. Whether opting for Selective Ray Tracing in the Hideout, Standard Ray Tracing for enhanced lighting, or Extended Ray Tracing for the most immersive experience, players can tailor the game to suit their hardware capabilities and desired gameplay experience.

Official PC System Requirements

This level of flexibility reflects Ubisoft’s intent to make Assassin’s Creed Shadows accessible to a diverse audience, from those with the latest GPUs to those using older, less powerful systems. The proprietary software-based ray tracing solution further demonstrates the developer’s efforts to include players with older hardware in the Assassin’s Creed experience.

The introduction of three ray tracing modes in Assassin’s Creed Shadows underscores Ubisoft’s commitment to technical innovation and player inclusivity. By providing scalable options for both cutting-edge and legacy hardware, the game ensures a visually impressive experience without alienating any segment of the PC gaming community. With these advancements, Assassin’s Creed Shadows sets a new benchmark for customization and graphical fidelity in the series.

Leaked benchmarks have surfaced online, offering an early look at the performance of NVIDIA‘s upcoming RTX 5080 graphics card. Set to debut alongside the flagship RTX 5090 on January 30, the RTX 5080 has been spotted in Geekbench’s OpenCL and Vulkan test results. These preliminary figures reveal notable gains over the RTX 4080 but suggest the GPU may fall short of surpassing the current-generation RTX 4090.

The tested RTX 5080 was an MSI model identified as MS-7E62. The benchmarking setup featured AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, a popular choice among gaming enthusiasts, paired with an MSI MPG 850 Edge TI Wi-Fi motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory.

In the Geekbench tests, the RTX 5080 achieved a score of 261,836 points in Vulkan and 256,138 points in OpenCL. These numbers represent a 22% performance boost in Vulkan and a 6.7% improvement in OpenCL compared to the RTX 4080. However, these gains are less dramatic when viewed against NVIDIA’s historical performance trends for its 80-class GPUs.

Additional data from Blender Open Data reveals a median score of 9,063.77, positioning the RTX 5080 9.4% higher than the RTX 4080 and 8.2% above the RTX 4080 Super. Despite these increases, the results indicate that the RTX 5080 may not outperform the RTX 4090, a departure from the usual trend where NVIDIA’s 80-class GPUs eclipse the previous generation’s 90-class models.

The RTX 5080 is built on NVIDIA’s new Blackwell architecture, featuring 10,752 CUDA cores spread across 84 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs). This marks an upgrade from the RTX 4080, which offers 9,728 CUDA cores. The GPU comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit memory bus, promising faster data throughput compared to the GDDR6X memory used in the 4080.

Performance improvements are also seen in ray tracing and tensor operations. NVIDIA claims the RTX 5080 can deliver 1,801 TOPS in tensor performance and 171 TeraFLOPS for ray tracing, driven by enhanced RT and Tensor cores. These advancements aim to support more demanding workloads in gaming, 3D rendering, and AI-enhanced applications.

While the benchmark results showcase tangible performance gains, the data also highlights a potential gap in meeting expectations for generational leaps. Historically, NVIDIA’s 80-class GPUs have consistently outperformed the flagship GPUs from the prior generation, but the early numbers suggest the RTX 5080 might struggle to follow this trend.

As with all pre-release benchmarks, the results should be approached with caution. These numbers have not been independently verified, and final performance figures may differ. With the official launch and review embargo lift still weeks away, prospective buyers and enthusiasts are advised to wait for comprehensive reviews to gain a clearer understanding of the RTX 5080’s capabilities and market positioning.

NVIDIA’s next-generation RTX 50 series is expected to set a new standard for gaming and professional workloads, but how the RTX 5080 stacks up against its competitors and predecessors will be closely scrutinized in the weeks ahead.

AMD is preparing to expand its Ryzen 7000X3D series with the launch of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors, built on the “Zen 5” architecture. These new desktop CPUs are scheduled for release around March and are expected to feature an increase in core counts, potentially offering 12 and 16 cores over the existing Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads.

The introduction of these higher-core-count models raises questions about their potential gaming performance, as AMD’s 8-core 3D V-Cache processors have historically dominated in gaming benchmarks, hitting what many consider the “sweet spot” for gaming performance. While more cores generally benefit productivity tasks and multi-threaded workloads, their impact on gaming has been less pronounced.

A recent report by VideoGamer shed light on what enthusiasts can expect from these upcoming Ryzen 9 X3D chips. The publication obtained comments from Martijn Boonstra, a product and business development manager at AMD. Boonstra indicated that the gaming performance of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D will be comparable to that of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, stating:

“Our new chips will provide similar overall gaming performance to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. There will be some games that perform a bit better—if the game engine utilizes more cores and threads—and some games will perform a little worse (if the game engine favors a single CCD configuration), but on the whole, the experience is comparable.”

This suggests that the higher core counts of the Ryzen 9 X3D models may offer benefits in games optimized for multi-threaded performance but will not uniformly outperform the 8-core Ryzen 7 9800X3D in all scenarios.

Ryzen 9 9950X3D Processor

While Boonstra refrained from disclosing specific pricing details for the upcoming processors, he mentioned that AMD plans to announce final pricing closer to launch. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D currently retails for $479, though availability remains inconsistent. It remains to be seen how AMD will position the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D within their existing product lineup and whether they will carry a significant price premium.

AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology has proven to be a key differentiator in gaming performance, and the Ryzen 7000X3D series is marketed toward gamers and creators seeking high-performance solutions. Boonstra emphasized this positioning, stating that the new chips are designed to appeal to users across different platforms:

“Ryzen 9000X3D Series desktop processors are perfect for gamers and content creators alike…whether you are already on the AM5 platform, on AM4 or another platform, these products are sure to impress.”

With the AM5 platform gaining traction and support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 becoming more widespread, AMD is likely aiming to attract upgraders and new adopters as part of its strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the desktop CPU market.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D are shaping up to be intriguing additions to AMD’s lineup, particularly for users who require additional cores for demanding workloads alongside gaming. However, the lack of a clear performance uplift over the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in gaming may temper expectations. More details, including pricing and official benchmarks, are expected as the March release window approaches.
