Bioshock
BioShock is a first-person shooter with role-playing game elements all rolled into one. This PC game has also been touted as one of the most graphically-intensive titles to come around in years thanks to the use of the Unreal Engine 3.0. BioShock also uses Havok Physics, an engine that allows for an enhancement of in-game physics, and the integration of ragdoll physics, and allows for more life-like movement by elements of the environment.

We noticed several variations in performance during our 1280×720 benchmark, but things leveled out during the 1600×1200 benchmark.

These results speak volumes for users looking to upgrade their budget gaming rigs.
