    I just got Assassin's creed and given how my GPU benchmarks it's running a little slowly(on lowish settings of course).

    First off I find the native resolution a bit too sharp. I know most eople might find 768 a bit high, but I'd rather be running in 600. It would look better to me and the scaling would smooth out the picture, as well as giving me slighlty better performance.

    I'm wondering how to get access to extra resolutions. Which drivers should I download from here? What other tips should I use? I don't seem to have the Powermizer software either. Frustrating. Where can I download it seperately?

    Also would it be worth overclocking?

    you can set a custom resolution via Nvidia control panel, and for the OC, Yes , your Card has very high OC capabilities, just go very slow on the OC and maintain your temps, good luck
