Bioshock PC Demo DirectX 10 Performance
@ 2007/08/23Bioshock hype has started up the past few weeks as the game videos started coming out quickly, and finally we were greeted with an Xbox 360 and now just a few hours ago a PC demo. While this game is not as anticipated as say Half Life 2 Episode 2, or Unreal Tournament 3, or Halo 3 don't let that fool you. This game had us hooked on the 360 demo, and counting the minutes until it hit for PC. Based on the Unreal 3 engine like Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas before it will surely 3 red light plenty of Xbox 360s keeping us busy at Tek Republik doing repairs, but at our shop the version of choice will be on the PC. Certainly we don't deploy games without testing them first, and for an Unreal 3 engine game, and the first of its sort to excite us on the PC we once again fired up the test systems and we have shot off benchmarks on an overclocked Athlon 64 X2 at 3.4GHz with all of the worthy Nvidia GeForce 8 series cards. We still don't have an AMD Radeon DX10 part, and frankly we don't feel like buying one. If AMD wants to send one our way we will gladly add those numbers. Here are the cards we have tested with so far below.
