Bioshock

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.

Our Bioshock testing reveals some interesting performance gains with the new 1GB version of the HD 3870 from Diamond: it easily outruns the 512MB version of the card at both 1600×1200 and 1920×1200 resolutions and is actually presenting a decent gaming experience at 2560×1600 as well indicating that the 512MB limit on each GPU of the X2 card is a bottleneck.
