I can play Assassin's Creed (highest details, highest resolution (1680 x 1050)) on my PC, but N runs somehow slow. Does someone know how to solve this problem? :(

I'm guessing you're playing on Vista? Try this, if you are:
Try this; it worked for me.


The problem comes from Vista trying to meld your system sounds together and add audio enhancements, which is why moving N to a lower place in the sound queue sometimes works. Maratanos's solution of disabling the sound output will also work.

But I needed sound effects for running my ninja around; sometimes I just want to hear the little guy explode. Here's what I did:

1.) Go to Start => Control Panel => Sound.
2.) On the Playback tab, right-click your speakers on the list there and select "Properties".
3.) Depending on your speaker setup and your version of Vista, there should be a tab there called "Effects" or "Enhancements" or some such. Check the box marked "Disable System Effects" or "Disable All Enhancements" or whatever.
4.) Play N lag-free!

I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. Enjoy!
This has apparently worked for a lot of people.

If you aren't on Vista, we might need some more details.
