BioShock DirectX 9 / DirectX 10 benchmarks - tech
(hx) 05:22 PM CEST - Aug,24 2007 - Post a comment / read (8)
Looking for BioShock DX9 vs DX10 performance numbers? AMDZone has published some BioShock DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 benchmarks:
At 1280X1024 we are pushing a good deal more pixels than the Xbox 360 does. As you can see the 8800GTX is a monster here powering over 70 frames per second. The 8800GTS cards are tied at 50 fps which is nothing to sneeze at, and indicates that the extra memory won't do much for you here. If you reference our Rainbow Six Vegas tests from back in December you will see similar numbers for the 8800s. It is hard to believe it has taken 8 months to get another Unreal 3 engine game on the PC, but it has. Switching to the cooler running 8600s you see a large drop off in performance. The 8600GTS manages just 22 fps, and the 8600GT OC can only do 16. Clearly if you have one of these cards then you may want to drop your resolution and some of the quality settings.

At 1600X1200 we see the expected drops in frames. The 8800GTX enjoys a 20 frame lead over the 640MB GTS, and the 320MB card finally does separate out a bit in performance, but not enough to be noticeable in the game. The 8600s both drop into the 10s and really are just not playable here.

Why isn't there at least a 7800GT graphics card in that test?
6600GT...please :roll:

I'm running 7950GX2 with an overclocked E6600 on my big TFT and it is really laggy at times. It's a shame that there is no benchmark with an SLI setup or a 7950GX2 to compare.

Hopefully, TomsHardware does a massive benchmark of Bioshock with every card under the sun so we can get a good feel of what cards are the best bang for the buck under both DX9 and DX10.

Shaligar(10:23 PM CEST - Aug,24 2007 )
Yeah, why is it that every benchmark jumps from 6600 or 6800 directly to 7900?

Anyway, it seems Bioshock will put a bit of strain on that cards. ^^

yeah my 6800 GT is getting old too :pottytrain4: I wanted to upgrade to to 8800GTS, but I haven't decided yet. Maybe I will wait until November for the G92. I cannot afford to upgrade each six months ... :sad5:

I'm getting around 20fps with my GeForce 7800GT at 1280x1024 on my TFT and max settings, which is pretty good.

If it knock it down to 1024x768 i can play x8s AA and x2AF and get around 25-30fps using FRAPS.

Booting into MS clean boot (for XP and Vista) helps FPS massively!!
