Resolution: lowest possible 640x480 (engine renders in 640x360) + black borders added for youtube.

So, if you don't know what you're looking here at, let me explain:
- Assassin's Creed (2007) is running here purely emulated on i7-4790K CPU using the built-in multi-threaded software rasterizer WARP (Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform) on Windows 7x64.
More info about WARP: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg615082(v=vs.85).aspx
- what this basically does is to skip the main GPU and render the game only with the CPU using a built-in DirectX10 multi-threaded software emulation.
- to use this feature you need to install Microsoft DirectX SDK.
- type 'dxcpl' into Win+R, select the 'AssassinsCreed_Dx10.exe' file, and select 'Force WARP' at the bottom of the window.
- make sure you change the in-game resolution into the lowest possible (640x480) or you will see a slide show.
- with WARP in dxcpl you may run a Direct3D10+ application or game even if you don't have any GPU supporting DirectX10+ installed, but this may not always work.

- Assassin's Creed (2007) is the first and last Assassin's Creed to support EAX. It supports EAX 4.0. But you don't have to have a Creative sound card to enable it on modern systems. Just download this file and follow all the instructions in readme:

- this video was recorded with EAX 4.0 Unified (which is included in the game's original UPlay files) enabled and working. I don't know if it's working as intended, because I've never played AC on Windows XP and a Creative X-Fi sound card - but I played other games with EAX on Windows XP and they always sounded different and weird with software emulation.
