People used to say that many times before, and yet, these games sell great.
With new Assassins Creed they clearly stated with the requirements that it won't run well, but I suspect people will buy it anyway.
Also, sometimes patching works. I can remember CoD: Black Ops 1. This game was running so bad even on high-end PCs, that the game was virtually unplayable in multiplayer mode. However they managed to fix it and later on it was running pretty much fine. of course I'm not saying that it's a good practice. The product should be released when it's ready, not when it just compiles.

This seems like the first patch that could solve most people's problems with the game because of the seperate worker thread for content creation (I guess the biggest reason for lag during driving).
Can anyone confirm it is fixed ? Maybe now we can finally buy the game...
This. I too suspect this was the main issue.
But still the vram requirement is pretty ridiculous. Imagine that I was playing it on the 1GB version of the 560. Minimum details full hd, 70-80 fps with vram usage dangerously close to 100%. Pump up ANY (and i mean any) detail setting and framerate dropped to 30.
I see that optimization shortcuts are becoming more common and I am seriously sad to see that. And in light of this, I do not understand why nvidia chooses to keep lower amounts of vram on their cards lately.

idk now. But with your spec, this game should not be your problem.
I got 40fps+ on 1080p with max setting (TheWorse Mod) before this patch.
