Hi, I hope you can help me.

I've recently began playing the Assassin's Creed game series on my Dell Vostro 3450. The first 3 games (I, II and Brotherhood) ran pretty good with maximum quality, but the recent game - Revelation - not so much, and that's an understatement. Even on low preferences the game runs badly, and I don't know why; this game is not THAT different (engine wise) from it's predecessors. I know my laptop is not suitable for games, but it's LESS then one years old, and there's no reason this game should run so differently then the previous games. I checked my drivers, Updated BIOS, and still can't seem to figure out the source of the problem.

Here's some basic info:
- Dell Vostro 3450
- 6 GB Ram (5.90 usable)
- Windows 7 (64-bit)
- 2.30 GHz Intel core i5-2410M CPU
- 50 GB Remains on Hard Drive (Out of 500)
- Intel HD Graphics Family
- Direct X 11

Any help would be appreciated.Have you checked w/ the Manufacturer for patches ? Have you checked the system requirements for the game ?

Wouldn't hurt to scan your system for malware. Disable start up apps and non-MS services that are not needed. For startersNo Manufacturer Patches, System meet all Requirements, Malware checked and I use Advanced System Care to disable (via 'game mode') all BACKGROUND apps I don't need.

Update all your drivers and test the game out again. Select Windows 7 64bit from the drop-down OS menu. (BIOS is selected you have to change it for the updated VIDEO drivers to show up.)

Might try just reinstalling the video driver first.
