Bioshock Settings

[Kornowski]

Just want to get an idea what type of settings people are playing Bioshock on... What res, and with things do you have disabled, like the shaders and stuff like that...

I play @ 1024 x 768, with the high dynamic shaders disabled and 8x AA and x16AF...

What about you guys?

i play with those settings too in my dreams maybe

 

[hermeslyre]

I played the demo at 11__ x 9__ (Blanks mean I can't remember exactly) with all the setting tuned to high, except the force global lighting one, whatever that does. Got around 18 to 30 Fps, only going lower when there were many splicers on screen. No AA or AS obviously.

Yes, this means I still haven't gotten the game yet, poor me...

i had been playing at 1600x1200 with everything up full basically.

 

[Bradan]

1680/1050, full settings

2xAA 8xAF (toms hardware says its best filter/performance ratio)

 

[kof2000]

1920x1200 high high high, vsync disabled, forced max AA and HDR

 

[skidude]

1280x1024.... maxed out everything.... usually get 60-80FPS.

What GPU do you have?

Very Nice, What GPU do you have Jimmy?

1680/1050, full settings

2xAA 8xAF (toms hardware says its best filter/performance ratio)

Everything turned on?

1920x1200 high high high, vsync disabled, forced max AA and HDR

Dude, I'm not surprised, lucky ....

AA and AF too?

--------------------------

I don't know why, but when I play at 1280 x 1024, and have everything turned on to high and turned on, it gets a bit laggy, it shouldn't be doing this should it?

 

[hermeslyre]

A slightly overclocked 7600gt for me, Bundled with a 2.6Ghz X2 3800.

 

[Kornowski]

Ah right, do you think I should be able to max it?

my laptop can run it max with the 8600gt so you should have no problem.

 

[hermeslyre]

Yeah, sure. If I were you I'd turn the resolution up as high as it'd go with everything maxed to see how it plays..

Edit: Turn AA and AS down alittle.

 

[Kornowski]

What about the AA and AF, any at all? Thank

 

[hermeslyre]

Turn 'em down if your having lag issues. AA and AS isn't all that needed in Bioshock; higher resolutions reduce the need for AA and tight confined quarters don't benefit from AS as much as say, Oblivion.

 

[Kornowski]

Ok, sure, I'll try it tomorrow, it's 1:06AM here

 

[skidude]

AA and AF too?

I have 4x AA forced through Catalyst Control Center, AF isn't really needed.

 

[Kornowski]

Ok sure, thanks a lot, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

 

[Bradan]

AF doesnt take a performance hit barely. 16x wont drop you much but 8x looks close enough to 16x

CAN ANY1 EXPLAIN WHY KOF'S SIG SAID RETIRED AT 26???

If you take a look at BOTH his PC's I'd say he's rich. Those rigs are worth a ton.
