How to Enable DLSS

Enabling DLSS in Assassin's Creed Shadows can significantly improve game performance, but many players find it challenging to activate this feature. As one of the most visually impressive entries in the Assassin's Creed franchise, Shadows offers a richly detailed world that can be demanding on hardware.

Despite its visual appeal, the game suffers from optimization issues on PC, often testing the capabilities of even high-end GPUs. While frame generation offers some relief, achieving a consistent 60 FPS remains a challenge. This guide provides a straightforward approach to enable DLSS, helping players enjoy a smoother gaming experience in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

How to Enable Frame Generation using DLSS in AC Shadows

Players trying to activate DLSS frame generation in Assassin’s Creed Shadows may encounter difficulties. Initially, updating the Nvidia driver to the latest version is essential. After updating, restart both your system and the game. This method may make the DLSS option available.

Some users share issues even after driver updates and patch installations. A suggested tactic, shared by a community member, is to perform a full PC restart, which has worked intermittently to reveal the DLSS setting. Despite varying results, Ubisoft is expected to provide a consistent solution. This workaround can be helpful for those experiencing challenges with initial game patches and hardware compatibility.

Steps to Activate DLSS 4 in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows supports DLSS technology, offering enhancements in both Multi-Frame Generation and Super Resolution. Moving from DLSS 3 to DLSS 4 can improve your gaming experience. Here's how to enable this option:

1. Open the Nvidia App:

Access the application and go to the Graphics tab.

2. Select Assassin's Creed Shadows:

Choose the game from the list of installed software.

3. Modify DLSS Settings:

Navigate to the „DLSS Override – Models Preset“ within the Driver settings.

4. Enable the Latest DLSS Preset:

Click on the option to apply the same settings to all DLSS technologies and select ‚latest‘.
Alternatively, adjust individually for Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction, and Super Resolution by choosing the ‚latest‘ option for each.

Activating DLSS 4 in this manner allows players to take advantage of advanced graphics processing, optimizing gameplay visuals. Future updates may offer additional methods, but currently, this is the primary way to enable DLSS 4 in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
