Assassin's Creed II on Macbook Air 13" ultimate?

[iNotion]

Question as above.
Possible? Anyone tried it yet on MBA?

Thinking of buying it from Mac app store but worry about the system requirements.

Some videos on Youtube suggest that you can

i think the uploader has the AC2 running on everything high

but i think if you set it to medium, it should run smooth

Ppl are claiming it runs very badly even on high end MBPs

That thread isn't really helping, because it has no video to show the exact gameplay fps, that guy with the 17 MBP have a problem with either driver or his machine, he got the i5 and GT330 and 8gb RAM, but still cant play it on 1280x800, that alone show how ****ed up his MBP was ( no offence to that person though )

The Video i posted shows that you can play AC2 on a MBA 13 Ultimate

From thread:

It runs horribly on my 17", even when I lower the resolution to 1280x800 it still can't hold a steady frame rate, and I've got an i5 and a 512MB GT330m, so your C2D and 320M don't stand a chance

It runs terrible on both my MBP and MP compared to Windows.

User has in sig: MP 8x2.4GHz/12 GB/2.25 TB/5770 and 2011 15" MBP 2.2GHz/4 GB/750 GB/6750M

you really need a desktop GPU (such as a 4870 or better) to play AC2 well with maxed options selected. Even under Windows.

How can that not be helpful, everyone in thread says you need high end hardware to run it properly. The video you linked is showing it runs, but there aren't much action in it either, and it does have some serious framerate issues from time to time.

The MBA not even touching the minimum reqs, even the 2010 MBP is barely touching minimum reqs.

It might run, but not great.

Official system reqs.
Recommended:
Processor: Intel Core® i5 2.66Ghz or better
Memory: 4GB or better
Graphics: 512 MB Dedicated - ATI Radeon® HD 4850 , NVIDIA GeForce GT120 or better
Minimum:
Processor: Intel Core® 2 Duo 3.06 GHz --> NO! MBA: 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo
Memory: 3GB --> Yes! MBA: 4GB
Graphics: 256 MB Dedicated Shader model 3.0 or higher --> Maybe. 320M has Shader 3 support, but only 256MB shared memory

how about assassin's creed brotherhood?

runs great on my mba!!!

1.8ghz, 4gb ram, 40gb for win7 bootcamp, 15gb free..

native resolution is ok, but a little bit laggy but still a lot better than this one

and if you lower the resolution (1 lvl lower), it is playable!!

how about the lowest one??

as smooth as playing a counter strike i think
