Bioshock – HD 3850
Bioshock (DirectX 10)
An
impressive FPS-based game with a great story, Bioshock impresses with
both graphics and its ability to drag you along in the gameplay. It
has both DX9 and DX10 render paths and should make a great benchmark
for graphics cards promising the best of both worlds.

The first showing of the HD 3850 is pretty good comparing it to the HD 2600 XT and the 8600 GTS. It has about twice the performance of the two previous generation mid-range cards and it would appear that the NVIDIA 8600 GTS should begin to be afraid. The HD 3850 in CrossFire mode sees about 27% scaling in average frame rate – decent but not great in my view.
