Bioshock Thread

F***ing fantastic!!

Sorry...right, What can i say? Well firstly the graphics are stunning, no really, stunning! I had it running at max everything @ 1280x1024 with V-Sync off, and it never dropped below 50fps! (My CPU is stock and 8800 running at 648/2000, with the shader clock at 1512.)

Will have a go with forcing AA and AF in the CP later, see how that goes.

This game is so well optimised its almost unbelievable! :thumb:

The atmosphere it creates is errily good, the hairs on my arms were standing up at one point! :D


I've taken load of screen shots, heres a few, let me know if you want more. :)

These are with no AA or AF and at 1000x800 from 1280x1024

Thems seriously gooooooood pics , movie quality . An its nice to see the obligatory scuffy toilet scene .

:thumb:
 
Well then, looks like im going to have to skip this thread for a couple of weeks- dont want any spoilers :D
 
Finished downloading and installed, preparing to fire up this baby. My average speed was 20kb/s, but damnit, i got there in the end :D

If its half as good as what the reviews say, i think i will simply be gobsmacked.

:D
 
Mike, install the latest drivers i mentioned in this thread, they help the games performance. (163.44)

Wayyy ahead of you V_R ;) Installed them last night :D.

Not making the same mistake as last time with new drivers...
 
Good lad. :D

They are worth it. I saw a nice boost in Dirts performance too. :)
 
Just a quick note to anyone running AVG.

I've read lots of people who use AVG saying that it picks up the bioshock .exe as a trojan. Looks like you will have to tell it to ignore it. ;)
 
I've tried what I thought was the X1300 in my machine, but it turns out it was only an X300 (even slower than what I have)... I'm just going to wait for a new machine now ;)

Bummer, Theres a thread on the offical forums about running the game on a non SM 3.0 card, HERE, although its a work in progress and i didn't have time to read it properly, but it may be worth a read? :)

What settings you running Mike?
 
Excellent, thanks for the heads up V_R :) I'll give it a full read tomorrow morning :D

Mine looked just like that first pic with the black background and blocky smoke.
 
Just tried this with 8x AA and AF, Supersampling and a few other bit forced in the CP. Not a massive difference, but notable in places, the lighthouse in the first shot is a good example. :)

Ah, yeah see post 91, AVG seems to detect a trojan in the .exe. nothing to worry about. Scan with an online scanner if your worried. :)
 
So do y'all reckon this is gonna be in stock at GAME tomorrow? :)

If so I'll probably have some, could do with a new FPS.

It IS an FPS ain't it?
 
I dont see why it wouldn't be in stock flops. Official release is on Friday so i dont know if you'll be able to grab it from game tomorrow. You should dl the demo, gamershell is usually a fast server, thats where i got it from. I posted a link on the second page if your interested :)

Yep, this is a FPS, and imo a damn good one, and it will run sweet on you rig. :thumb:
