Hi,
I just made a BootCamp partition (60 GB) with Windows XP (32bit) on it and installed Assassin's Creed. Just before I watched that video (http://www.youtube.c...h?v=j_Nt10MUGXg) on YouTube. The guy who played had the same graphiccard as I do and the highest graphic settings possible (fps: 40-50). Why did I have to lower my settings (no real-time shadows, graphicquality quite bad e.t.c.) to make it fluently (fps:25) although I have
1. the same graphiccard (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro) and
2. a faster "PC" (Mac) (24"-iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram)
Does anyone know how could I solve this problem?

P.S.: In the video description the player says his graphiccard is overclocked, what does ist mean?

Go to this page and update your graphics drivers.

In order to overclock open the ATI Catalyst Control Center after you update your drivers. However don't just max the sliders, as you can very easily overheat your GPU (graphics processing unit, or graphics card) doing this. I'd google "2600 Pro overclocking in iMac" and check what are good clocks to set it at. And then download an app to monitor your GPU temps, to make sure your not going to high. Once you get into the 80's your getting to hot. Also with to much of an overclock the GPU will become unstable and either crash your computer, or crash the game, or both. If your able to set the fan speed on your GPU set it to a number that will keep the temps down. Most of the time if the fan is left on "auto" the card overheats if its overclocked.

That said overclocking doesn't give you a huge performance boost, probably only around 5%-10%, so its up to you on whether you really want that extra little bit.

Updating your drivers could make a giant difference
