I know the highest setting is TXAA, don't know about the steps below as they are described as "Low, medium, high"
There are 3 settings :
Normal = Same FXAA as the consoles
High = High quality FXAA
Very High if you have an Nvidia card : TXAAX4
Very high if you have an AMD card : MSAAX4 + FXAA

Is TXAA compatible with the 500 series?

Just the 600 series and up I believe.
Good question, I have a GTX670 and I was not given the choice, TXAA or nothing on very high settings. The high setting FXAA looks good as long as you are not an IQ ayatollah.

JSAA, as in Jelly on Screen Anti Aliasing.
As a 580 owner, i think i'll take the jaggies over the blur, but i'll have to wait and see with my own eyes.
game constantly crashes to black screen for me. There are lots of others with the issue on the steam forums. There is something weird going on with windows v re distributable and every time you validate the files it downloads the corrupt file.
Anyway I'm re installing, we'll see.

Very high isn't TXAA no matter what, if you have a 600 series card there is a specific TXAA option.
Where ?
I did not see it, I only have 3 settings for AA and no separate option for TXAA.

8gb RAM
HD 6950
Everything maxed except for AA (which I currently have set to normal).
60fps for the most part, just arrived at Boston and it dipped to 40, nothing dramatic, game looks great. Would love an option to disable the 'skip' notification during cutscenes.
These shadows across his cape on the ship looked damn amazing, screen doesn't quite do it justice but here we are anyway:

MSAA + FXAA
I see. Thank you.
Why not just make an option to enable MSAA alone?
I don't want FXAA at all.
"lol gamers can't understand AA terms lets just call it Normal, High and Very High"
Normal, High, Very High, TXAA
If it's not showing up and you have a 600 series card then something is wrong with your drivers.
i5 3570K (no OC)
8g RAM
ATI radeon 5750 (small 1g card.......)
Everything in high except AA on normal, runs perfectly smooth 60fps, except....... Yep, Boston.... Down to 40 fps... The game looks pretty good, better than on consoles, and I always got better framerate thab my pals (but I play the game just now.... They all finished it!=. DEAL!
I turned off vsync and I'm now downsampling at 2560x1440 and the frame rate isn't unbearable. Pretty happy to be honest.

All setting maxed out. 1080p TXAA. I am getting 60FPS with dps to the 50s in boston. The strange thing about the dips is that my GPU usage also dips into the 60s-70s during these so I dont know if I am maxing my CPU since I wasnt monitoring that or they just need a patch/newer Nvidia Driver.
I think the game looks pretty good.

2 x 680 4GBs + latest drivers
Should be sufficient but I'm not even seeing a steady FPS outside of Boston, fluctuates between 50-60 as others have reported and Boston 40-60 as ... others have reported.
Definitely something that needs patching, rather than more power.
Jesus Christ I wasn't aware that you had such a monster dic.....rig.
Suddenly my 2 x 580 3GBs feel inadequate.
I'm compensating for my inadequacies
No because you'll have the same performance as everyone else!
Not until you have two.
Yes actually, you are.
That card should let you sit pretty well into the next generation of consoles.

Underclock your gpu to 570 stock settings and update your drivers to the new beta.
Underclocking did the trick. Thanks!

GTX 570 @ 900/2000
Latest beta drivers
AA on High, everything else maxed gives a solid 60 except the occasional drop to 50 when entering Boston or when I take screenshots. Maxing AA results in more periodic drops to 40-50.

?? Why is that? I'm curious as i have a Gigabyte gtx580 superoverclock, so i want to know if that's gonna be a problem.
Damn. Don't believe the snow does that on consoles

It's probably just the video card being unstable under max load. OME overclocked cards are sometimes like that. You shouldn't worry unless you are getting random crashes and BSODs.

Game looks great - what's with the black bars? Anyway to disable them? Playing on 1900x1200.

Game only does 16:9 aspect ratio, so you get a letter boxed picture on a 16:10 monitor. You can change the resolution to 1080 but the monitor would stretch the picture.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks man. I suppose I'll get used to the black bars.

2 x 7970
1080p
Everything maxed
Running with 1 card my fps goes into the low 30s in Boston and fluctuates between 40-100 everywhere else.
As usual with AC games, my performance with crossfire enabled is worse than it is disabled. If I leave both cards running I go down to 19 fps in Boston and I get worse drops more often.
I'm hopeful that newer drivers will help somewhat, but I'm 100% convinced that I'll never be able to run this game at a consistent 60 fps.

maxed out everything except AA, that is on normal, 1080p and it sank when I entered Boston I got 30-40fps, I'm now getting 50-60 most of the time.
Game's pretty
Yay, bodes well enough for me then with my 7850.
After playing around 9 hours (probably less because of all the time spent reading data entries etc) I've found a nice balance.
Downsampling at 2560x1440, vsync off, shadows to high (sometimes back up to very high when I feel like it), and AA to normal.
Still dips to 30fps every now and then (weather seems to do it especially snow) but other than that I'm averaging between 40-50fps.
If what people are saying is true and that a patch could improve performance then I'll be very happy.
