Vista - assassian's creed

I am thinking about getting this game. What kind of controller will I need with this game? I don't like using the keyboard for game play.

You can use the wired xbox 360 controller or wireless.

the 360 controller is perfect for assassins creed.

I have Assassins creed and I use the Logitech Gamepad and it works just fine. I do happen to be buying the Xbox Controller as Rainbow six vegas 2 requires that. I use Vista Ultimate 64 and have had no issues with controllers.

Now I am just disappointed, I installed my new graphics card and checked index score. I went from a 3.0 to a 4.1, I thought that was good. Well apparently not, the game recommends a 5.5 but required is a 5.0 and now I am stuck at 4.1. That just bites. The game doesn't work well at all, it moves at a snails pace. Does any body have any good suggestions that doesn't involve money? Is there a work around for this. Thanks for all the input on game controllers. This is my first experience with PC gaming and I am totally let down by it.

R there any video settings that you can lower.

What settings? Please forgive, as I am new to this pc gaming stuff and I am not sure what settings I can lower or change for that matter. Thanks for the help.

Is there anyway you could RMA your new card and get an 8600 instead? I bought an XFX 8600GT for about $80 and have no problem running Assassins Creed or Cysis etc.

In the options for the game there should be a video or graphics section.

Ok, I found the options section in the game and change every thing to the lowest settings. I made a little improvement but nothing to warrant me to keep playing. It is still slow and jumpy. What else can you advise me on. Good tips by the way. I think I going to bite the bullet and buy a new power supply and a better graphics card.
