Can the Precision 3480 run Assassin's Creed Shadows?
Minimum requirements
Probably can't run it
Just below the minimum requirements (one tier below the required graphics)
Does not meet recommended requirements
The publisher lists GeForce GTX 1650 (tier 3), Radeon RX 5500 XT (tier 4), Arc A380 (tier 3); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 4. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU: NEAR_MISS. NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU is tier 3; the requirement is tier 4. That is one tier below the requirement.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
