Bioshock Demo Up - Page 22

Sithro · 08-21-2007, 08:29 AM

It's strange. I'm running the game at medium. The game runs okay (like 30 - 45fps with occasional lag spike), but the cutscenes are laggy as shit.

Weird. : /

Pre-loading on my office computer. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing just how fucking awfully it'll play on a Athlon 3200 w/ 512mb of ram and a 9500 Pro. If at all.

Twobit Whore · 08-21-2007, 09:20 AM

I doubt it will. Does a 9500 support SM 2.0?

I know the minimum Nvidia card it runs on is a 6600.

Eomer · 08-21-2007, 10:40 AM

Yeah it does, they're full DX9, just stupidly poor at it by today's standards. If anything, the RAM will be what gets me. I had to go back to 20 replies a page because the PGT would kill me at 40.

Doesn't Bioshock require Shader model 3.0?

If so, you wont even be able to load the game with a ATI 9xxx series card.

Eomer · 08-21-2007, 11:45 AM

I really have no idea. I figured I'd just give it a try for fun.

Hey I need help, I think I fucked up.

This is from early in the game (30 minutes in), can anyone help?

No, you can still finish (the demo at least).. but are you sure you did that? I don't see how you could.. it automatically went into the next slot for me.

No this isn't the demo, it's the actual game. It let me do that...

Twobit Whore · 08-21-2007, 12:02 PM

I would restart then just to be sure.

My last save is from just after where the demo ends. I played the demo like 5 times, so I'm sure I can handle doing the stuff after it twice.

There's a machine to swap Plasmids but that comes a bit further in. You should still have 2 Plasmid slots currently so I'm not 100% sure what's up.

Right after I got home with bioshock

Twobit Whore · 08-21-2007, 12:18 PM
