Hi guys ,
I have ( 8GB of ddr3 ram , AMD FX 4100 X4 3.6 GHz , HIS radeon HD 5770 GDDR5 , Windows 7 Ultimate )
the question is : can I run assassins creed 3 ?
And on how many frames will it work ?
 
Solution
I don't know much about the older video cards. I'm sure it sits higher than what I tried to play it on and was just under playable frames. I tried it on a Llano A8 APU w/ HD 6550D @ 1080p. I'm sure the 5770 w/GDDR5 would be able to run it.

I think the APU alone scores like 900-1000 in future mark. ATI Radeon 5770 scores 2630.

You could spend $100 USD for 7770 which scores a 3910.
7850 @ $160 scores a 6480.
7870 @ $220 but which can be found for $180 at newegg.com right now. scores a 7780. < This is what I play it on and it runs flawless.

I have a 6770, which is basically a rebranded 5770, and it doesn't work well with most modern games. The GPU is just too old to keep up. I can barely push 30 fps in BF3, so for AC3 I'd go with ~30 FPS as well, bordering on unplayable.
 


It's not too "old" it's just not powerful enough. My HD5870 (nearly identical to an HD6870) was adequate when I tweaked the game settings but I wouldn't want any less. My GTX680 is at, or near the highest quality settings at 1920x1080 and rarely drops below 60FPS. (i7-3770K at 4.2GHz, GTX680 @ 1201MHz boost, 16GB DDR3 2133MHz)

Benchmark charts for CPU and GPU:

Analysis:
*Note the FX-4100 cripples game performance, however all CPU's were tested with a GTX690 so as not to have a GPU bottleneck. There would be far LESS of a difference with a mid-range GPU such as an HD7850.

*The HD7770 is just under 40FPS average but that would be a high-end CPU so you would not get the same with your FX-4100. However at lower settings than HIGH I don't know how much difference it would make.

Summary:
If you want to play many of the modern games at reasonable frame rates and quality you are going to have to get a better graphics card. Here are several cards at different price points (after MIR):

1) about $90 (HD7770 1GB):

2) about $120 (HD7790 1GB)

3) about $180 (HD7850 2GB):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121651

4) about $185 (GTX660 2GB):

5) about $190 (GTX660 2GB):

6) about $250 (GTX 760 2GB)

Obviously a huge difference in price. If your budget is around $100 then I suggest the HD7790 for $120. The GTX 760 is a really incredible card, but $250 may be beyond your budget.

Some games are more CPU-dependent and as such your FX-4100 would be a slight bottleneck. Note that although the HD7770 isn't on the list, the GTX760 would likely get about 2x the performance on average (i.e. 60FPS vs 30FPS at the same quality setting). However, the GTX760 is also nearly 3x the cost as the HD7770. It boils down to budget unfortunately.

Your Power Supply also needs to be adequate for a demanding graphics card. RULE OF THUMB is that the PSU supplies the necessary 6-pin/8-pin connections for the graphics card. If so, it's likely powerful enough.
