Have you got the latest drivers installed?

You are going to want to upgrade to 8gb of ram.

could be a driver issue i would suggest using driver sweeper then installing the AMD Drivers again. it could also be a bottleneck from the dual core

thanks for the replies people but i have up to date drivers.i asked the person in the store he said that 4gb is enough.!!(but thanks for the advice)well could it be a psu issue or hdd issue(my hard disk is a little old.).or bad sectors? and one reminder i just got when installed my gpu upgarde i removed my cpu for some clean up and i remember removing thermal compound and i forgot to put some in  !!can it be the problem?

                                    Thank you all of ltt forum!

Put in fresh thermal paste on your CPU and remember to clean the old one. I have seen computers perform really badly simply because someone forgot to put fresh thermal paste and the CPU was underclocking itself to prevent damage from high operating temperature. You also mentioned you have a dual-rail PSU. That could also be the problem. Check in your which connectors to use when powering a dedicated GPU. Could be taht you have your entire system on only one of the rails and thus the PSU doesn't have enough power.

Not really a bottleneck just ubisoft being shit heads, it would be able to play the game quite well, on the hacked version.

thanks for the reply.my psu have 2 six pin(both of them are from the same wire chord) connectors.so i have connected one 6 pin to my gpu(it only needs one).and  i am going to full format my hdd and install windows 8 64 bit. so what could be my problem? thermal Paste?
