    Sorry, I don't know where exactly this should be posted, but I need to know. I don't know much about the computers, so the system requirements were a bit confusing to me.

    Does native resolution mean the standard resolution of the screen?

    I run it fine but on srtest.com it tells me I would fail it.

    Everything else it has is at 6/6 bars on Recommended which is the best mark you can reach. I personally have it and like I said I run it great.

    I love using my 360 controller with my computer. You can really tell that Assassins Creed was made for a controller before a keyboard. It just plays much more fluidly on a controller.

    When you play AC with the 360 controller do you have to do any set up? Or is there like a download file that automatically assigns the corrects actions to the buttons on the controller for the game?

    It plays fine maxed out on my 6860 although I think the game kinda sucks. Anyways the 6860 runs EVERYTHING the only game I have that I cant max out is Crysis. If something is lagging its cause its coded like crap (Lost Via Domus or w/e)

    Easiest way is to download fraps ( http://www.fraps.com/download.php). It's free and will show your FPS in a corner while you're in-game.

    i just played, but only for about 30 mins., and not once did it go lower than 120 fps.

    try reinstalling the game or your drivers.
