ac4 is terribly optimized for crossfire, the only thing you can really do is drop the settings to the floor and possibly try to lower the resolution. it is a demanding game that
1.favors nvidia
2. is terribly optimized and fairly cpu reliant.
also, your system ram is the clear holdback of this system. ac4 requires at least 4gb, and for an apu, you'd want even more (speed of the ram also becomes important when dealing with an apu). (i'm willing to bet your ram is lower than 1333mhz)
basically you need to upgrade your system a bit

The ram is the least of his issues and 4gb is what's on the recommended amount, 2gb is minimum. Also speed is irrelevant with a graphics card. The gpu is really what the issue is, you need to upgrade that. It doesn't even meet minimum requirements and is less then half the performance of the gpus listed for minimum.
You asked the same thing about ac3 and this is really the same issue. You have 3 threads of this so don't make any more.

He has an apu in crossfire config, there is a great deal of proof that ram speed is highly relevant to performance in gaming in any apu related application.
A gpu upgrade would be great for you, but would leave you lacking slightly in the cpu department. I'd save up a bit and maybe make an upgrade schedule
I personally would start with motherboard and cpu, bring them up to current spec a bit (maybe a mid grade amd cpu like the fx 6300) and then think about a slight gpu upgrade later on (entry level gaming gpu like the gtx 750 or the r7-250 or r7-260)

He never said he was in cf and you shouldn't assume. He would yield better results by putting the money into a cpu or gpu rather than faster ram. He's lacking in both departments and will still lag without upgrading both. His cpu doesn't meet minimum either.
