You should be good for AC 3. AC 4 will need lowered settings.

Unfortunately, not very well at all. The games are rather CPU-intensive, probably a bit too much for that old C2Q, and your GPU is just not at all fast by modern standards. The games are also not the best optimized games ever, so that'll add to your performance woes. Feel free to try them out though and report back as I've personally never run any of the AC games on anything slower than an i3-2120 and HD6950, so I can't speak on how well they scale down with older hardware.

dang i didnt mean to pick that as the solution. Sorry. I was just gonna say that my core 2 quad is actually faster than that i3 processor.

Fixed it for you.

Your Q9550 is actually considered a worse gaming processor than his i3.

This is due to the roughly 20% clock for clock improvement that Sandy Bridge brought over Core2 and due to the faster stock clock speed. The i3 lacks 2 cores true but it has Hyperthreading and that comes close to making up for it.

Direct comparison.

The overall performance is pretty close considering the i3 only has 2 physical cores.

I stand by my above statement in that AC 3 will be higher settings and AC 4 should be playable but at lower settings. Hell I was able to max AC 4 on my listed system but anything less would struggle.
