Hi, I'm using AMD A8 (2.4GHz with turbo boost 3.2GHz) and 3GB(8570M) Dedicated graphics memory also I'm having 8GB Ram with windows 8.1

During action scenes my game is lagging very much and It is not able to control myself. Remaining all time it is working fine (I turned on/off : v-sync,anti-aliasing) but still same problem.

Also I'm playing Thief game and it is working fine but both these games showing below 15FPS ( I used Razor game booster to know the FPS)

Any suggestions how can I solve these issues.

Thank You

Unfortunately, there are two things that stand in your way.

First of all, AC4 is a badly optimised game, and even powerful builds can struggle to get better than 30fps.

The second problem is that your build uses an APU, which is a compromise between CPU and GPU power. It's a good choice for small form factor PCs that can't fit a dedicated GPU, but otherwise, having a CPU and GPU on the same hardware deminishes the overall processing power.

Besides buying a dedicated CPU and GPU, all you can really do is turn the settings down.

Low/Medium/High I tried all the settings and also I turned of above v--sync and antialiasing. Resolution 1366x768 and I don't want to reduce resolution because I want full screen experience

there is a hack though,,try alt+tabbing out of the game to the desktop and then without clicking anything,,alt+tab back,,it improves the FPS a lil bit,,i have tried it myself :)

Thanks for the reply. When I do that thing two or three times my laptop automatically restarting. I don't understand why that happens
