    With 5870 xFire it should run well on medium-high settings. IT could be a good idea to post it on the specific game forums to get more input as well.

    I will check if we have any R2's with your setup in our lab. We mostly have the new revisions so I'm not sure if we have that. :p

    Within a week or so I'll get my second 5870M that I ordered, and I also already have AC IV. When I get the 5870M set up in crossfire I can post my results here if you are willing to wait. I have an M17X R1, but it has 8GB ram, and my Core 2 Quad Extreme @ 3.06GHz is roughly at the same level as your i7-720qm, so my results should be very similar to what you should get. I have an RGB LED 1200p screen coming in as well so I'll be running it at that resolution and others with results.
