    Anyone try this yet? I've never tried any Ubisoft stuff, looks like a pretty graphically intensive game. I'm wondering if my R3 can run it at native res with decent fame rates.

    It should be able to run it in medium-high settings. :)

    I tried it with my R3 i5 and I'm averaging 40 fps with textures, ambient lighting, shadows, and post fx set to low and everything else at medium. This is at the native resolution. I'm also using the latest 306.97 drivers.

    If I set everything to medium it hovers around 25-33. Still looks good even with a few things set to low and I honestly can't tell the difference in quality on such a small screen. So I'd rather have the smoother fps personally.

    As a reference I can play it on my desktop (i5 3570k w/ an AMD 6950 1 GB) with everything on ultra except for AA and I get around 40 at 1080p. Graphically my m11x puts on a good show.

    Overall very playable. Fun game too!
