Hi,
I've got a C2D E6300 with 3gb DDR2 800mhz ram and recently i got ATI HD5770 card.
I have a lot of frame - rate issues playing game at 1680x1050 all settings maxed with even 2x AA. I thought the card was good enough. Is it my processor which is backing down?
I reduced the res, and even the animations aren't completely fluid....
Anything else i can do here? I dont want to reduce the graphics (textures/shadows/etc) coz i believe i should get my money's worth on the graphics card....
I've no issues playing other games like Bad Company2 at highest settings....
Any solutions?

i m playing with a quad core and a 4850 and im getting decent frame rates at full Hd and full settings and AA set to 2X

the frame rates do fall wen u in crowded scenes otherwise it stays above 40 most of the tym

Does AC2 use processor to a large extent? If that's the case, i'll overclock mine and then play the game.

Will getback if i still see issues....

it's a cpu intensive game. your gpu is fine but for decent framerates, you need a better cpu. i'd say a quad with a high clock.

Yeah i read C2D E6300 1.8Ghz is min requirements

I'll overclock mine to 2.8ghz and then play.

Yep...I think it's your CPU. I have no issues playing this game on my E6750, 4GB RAM, ATI HD5750 at 1680*1050, 4XAA

Got most of my freeze/crash outside the villa near the statues , happened a couple of times.

Turned off vsync and it was good to go.

Playing comfortably at 1440x900

well i turned vsync off (didn't remember earlier that it was on), got 10.4 ATI drivers, overclocked my cpu a little and things are fluid again at max settings
playing 1680x1050, 2x aa and everything else maxed...
the game is really beautiful!

The Game ACII at max gives just about 46fps with HD5850... I saw it in a review of some unknown site,, which is among very few who review GPUs on AC II too!!!.... so just lower the settings, keep AA off, and shadows play a big part too
