Assassins Creed III bad performance! :(

Go to http://www.geforce.com/ look to the left and there should be 310 driver available to download. Download it.

Really? shikhar has CPU and GPU from AMD, what dou you think he can find on http://www.geforce.com/?


@shikhar: I think you have to wait for a Huge patch, like we others. I hope it will be out soon.
I meet the same issue, it doesnt depend on graphic details settings you have chosen, in Boston you probably get about 20 fps, even if you got 40 or 60 on boat.

@ shikhar: and dont worry, your system isnt weak, theres no need to tell bullshit about your friend, nobody wants to tell you your system is weak  

AC3 is a new, hardware intensive game. I have a similar CPU @ 4.2 and 6950 and still don't run it maxed if want a min 30 fps

edit: btw, overclocking doesn't change the framerate, but turning the AA down does

Maybe i am just lucky.I have a 4100@4ghz, 8gb 1600mhz ram and a 7850 2gb and everything seems smooth to me with everything on max apart from AA. I'm playing at 1080p too.
It did download a patch before i played it though. I hope it gets patched and runs better on your computers soon, it's an awesome game 

Thanks guys  
That was really helpful.I will wait for a patch.Guess the game is not optimized for pc until the patch is released  
And yeah my PC is not weak.well, I played Max Payne 3 on max(just shadows were on high) (@720p) and i got 40-35 fps...  

Thanks again  

maybe its optimized better for nvidia atm. everything on medium i get 40-45 at 5912x1080

How is the multiplayer bro??? cause i hav the same config??

I experienced the same thing. Phenom II x4 965 BE @ 3.6 and ati radeon 5970 with 4 gb DDR2.
Game ran 45-60 fps on the ship, then drop to 20 fps in town @ 1920 x 1080. Very disappointing considering that is worse frame rates than the ps3 version, isn't it?

Try to open it again. I have played Assassin's Creed 3 before. also deal with like this.

i have an AMD HD 6700 series but some things sometimes are appeared late![i am in Boston-after the ship]   why???
AMD RANDEON HD 6700 series ( the latest driver)
4gb RAM
intel core i3-3.1 Ghz
monitor: samsung 1920x1080 FullHD 23"
pls contact me: napoleongreece@gmail.com

the game is a bad port and theres little you can do to improve perfomance over the basic 30 fps, regarless of hardware... it looks like ubi did this on purpose because it would show how far consoles are behind pc's when you let a game like AC3 run free...
you would likely get over 200 fps even on a 3 year old card like mine if the game wasnt gimped.

whats your new hobby hexit?

runs fine on my set up - right up to point where I have to draw my gun to blow up the powder wagon - cant get it to draw gun!! seems a general problem as others have reported it - just annoying

Stupid dev. thinking in my opinion, but dont aim with the sight. You got to get a white outline over what your shooting to shoot. I know what part your talking about, just about stopped playing, thought game was broke.

There's 2 problems here:
1) Your hardware isn't the best so you can't expect to max this game
2) AC3 is HORRIBLY optimized and lags even on the best hardware out there

Don't get me wrong, your hardware is still pretty good, but not exactly good for top notch gaming right now, and from the looks of it Ubisoft doesn't give 2 hoots about PC users, their forums are overflowing with complaints about lag and poor performance even on rigs with CF7970s and SLI 680s -- all of which are conveniently ignored, they like to pretend as if there's no problem at all :-\

I stand corrected, I just tried to run AC3 and this happens:



My friend says the lag in the single player's been fixed, I'll report back as soon as I've verified that myself




Nope, no fix :-\

i keep trying the patch - it downloaded then freezes just after the install starts

try running the game as adminstrator.

Let me try patching i know i am replying after a long time but i'll report as soon as i see any improvement after patching -_-

i know my rig isn't top notch......I say its entry level but how can you NOT expect a PC to run a game like AC3 on med-high settings (without AA or vsync) when it can run Crysis 2 on high(without AA or vsync) with 30-35 fps.  

PS:my res is 1366*768

Do you think the Game devs are flushing out old hardware support
like for phenom II series and Radeon Hd 4xxx series cause they are old,really old.... -_-
