Okay, just got Assassin's Creed on the PC via steam and whenever i set my monitor to anything over 1680x1050 the multisampling option becomes grayed out, anyone have a clue why i can use multisampling at 1680x1050 but not at my native 1920x1200????

It probably thinks the performance penalty, or vmem usage will be too much. A few other games do this as well.

Just force AA in the drivers.

No go on forcing aa, Tried to do it in nvidia control panel but it had 0 affect on FPS so i'm guessing it didn't work. Anyone know any other work arounds?

That would be cool if the game is actually that 'smart' ... assuming it's intelligent/accurate in it's assessment, that is.

Also, to the OP, multisampling AA, especially at 2x AA, may not actually hit performance enough to be really noticeable. Try supersampling instead and I would say if THAT doesn't hit you with a penalty, then neither mode is probably working.

Personally I don't like to use the CP to set any particular feature that the game has in it's own settings ... but that's just me, the way I was learned, you might say.

Is their a config. file in your game folder that you could modify yourself?
