Bummer! Looks like that needed PC upgrade is coming before Crysis!
July 9th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Crysis will have the same specs man. No game in the same genre of (next gen in the sametime frame) will ever just be lop sided. I think crysis will run awesome on a 7800-7950 for dx9. 8600-9800 on dx9 and dx10, now u might not be able to do very much AA and AF.
Look at doom 3,half life2,fear and far cry they all stayed around the same systems spec. Key note, Bioshock looks amazing! It looks near or almost near as good as crysis, I think crysis will need an 8800 gts atleast to max it out on 9x and les resolution on dx10.
July 10th, 2007 at 12:09 am
Wow, that really isn’t bad at all.
July 10th, 2007 at 12:17 am
thats the reason new games arent doing good.
just look at 2142…
July 10th, 2007 at 8:39 am
WTF are u talking bout? One 2142 had really pretty graphics same with bf2. This game looks amazing man, I still dont understand what ur saying on ” thats the reason new games arent doing good.
July 21st, 2007 at 1:12 pm
hey i want to ask something my pc is a duo core 2.9ghz 1024mb ram(2x 512) 256 mb ram nvidia geforce 7300 gt but gothic 3 works very bad at my pc is it normal??? and i hope bioshock will works fallout 3 too i hope
July 23rd, 2007 at 8:57 am
haruncan your processor is good your memory is ok but that graphics card is pretty terrible. you would be better if you could getting a good card like a 7600GT which isnt that expensive.
for my my system is
AMD x2 3800+
2.5gb ram
ati x1900xt
i might be getting a job soon so i might upgrade to core 2 duo e6600
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:38 am
Dont listen to ally, stay away from the 7 series.. and stay away from anything under the 8800 320mb. 7600 isnt that great(only 12 pixel pipeline’s, where the 8800 has 96 and 128.) Dx10, and will run the game in dx9 like cake.
July 26th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
This game looks amazing, but i’m not entirely sure if my rig will be able to run it. I plan to upgrade my PC’s video card to an NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT, will this be able to run Bioshock?
July 28th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Iowa- the 8500 gt is a terrible card for gaming. if you’re on a budget check out tom’s hardware best gaming cards for the money, that’ll give you a good idea of what you can expect for your money.
August 3rd, 2007 at 12:09 am
I have a Intel Core2 6600 @ 2.4 GHz and 2 GB of RAM with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX (only 1 8800 for now) can somebody tell me if this game should run alright on that?
August 4th, 2007 at 1:35 am
I think what N33D was hinting at was how BF2142 managed to pull off great graphics while still keeping its requirements so low, something new games don’t attempt. And I completely agree with him
August 4th, 2007 at 4:19 am
Bamboogna, yes. The spec’s have already been released for bioshock. The game other needed a 8600gts to make it out.
August 4th, 2007 at 6:09 am
god whats with my freaking typos.. take other and put in ONLY* needs a 8600 to MAX* it out.. Note I was very tired.
August 7th, 2007 at 5:07 am
Bamboonga, it’ll run very well on your system. You’ll be able to crank all the settings up to high – even anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.
Do you guys think it’ll run OK on an AMD x2 5200+, with 2GB RAM, and a 7950GT?
August 7th, 2007 at 8:48 am
Will my radeon x800pro card run bioshock?
August 7th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Intel Pentium 4 3.60ghz
2GB RAM
2x Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX
Will it run okay on my system?
August 7th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
Brylums, its gonna run pretty well, but with no dx10
but it will still be pretty sweet.
Bonic, if the game runs on ur card its gonna look like sh!t and have horrible fps.
Anonymous, look for good settings depending on what resolution ur running, but again no dx10.
looking forward to max this out with my newly made system: C2D e6750, eVGA 8800GTX, 2gigs ram
August 7th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
i just bought a duo core 2.2GHz with 2G of Ram and GeForce 8600GT…I should be able to max this game out right?
August 7th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
My card still costs around £200 to buy and some of the cards that ppl are saying will work ok cost well under £100,i dont get it.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:34 am
Ok forget my last comment,am gonna order a new alienware pc today,but i have another question,i get the 256mb 8600gts card as standard,but i can upgrade to,320mb 8800gts or dual 256mb 8600gts sli enabled both costing £133 xtra,which one would you advise me to upgrade to?
August 8th, 2007 at 9:54 am
just orderd this badboy from MESH,alienware look pretty but are well overpriced

Will I be able to run either Crysis or Bioshock!?
My specs are:
AMD X2 64 5600+ Processor
2Gb of DDR2 800Mhz RAM
GeForce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3
August 13th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Yes it is.
The specs for bioshock are somewhat based on the Unreal 3 engine -so you’re good.
For dx performance i’ll recommend the 8800 series. It’s a killer card. Nvidia has leaped years ahead. 8800 is a peace of product every hardware vendor should envy. I mean the architecture alone made me change my gfx.
It kills every single benchmark in dx9
for dx10… well i think there still might be vista problems. But I believe it’s Microsoft not totally done tuning the dx10 core.
August 13th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Will I be able to run Bioshock with decent framerate?

Will it run okay on my system?
August 14th, 2007 at 9:17 am
my systems about 2 years old but i could run oblivion with mid settings but probably not bioshock unless i have the lowest setting and a bad fps.
pentium 4 HT 3 ghz
1gb RAM
ATI x600 hypermemory
what does hyper threading do to my games?
and i was thinking of upgrading the small form computer in my room but i need a good low profile/ half height card. any suggestions?
August 14th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
Yongmorathen, are you running a 64 bit system, if not, your 6 gigs of ram cannot even be addressed. I have 4 gigs, and XP addresses 2.75 b/c 768MB is taken up by my GPU memory and the rest to memory mapped I/O.
August 15th, 2007 at 2:14 am
Nvidia GeForce 7900 GO GS w/256 MB RAM
1 GB RAM
AMD Turion 64 Mobile 2.4 Ghz
(Its an Alienware Aurora m9700 notebook w/o the dual Nvidia cards in SLI mode option)
Would it run on the lowest settings? If I could upgrade only one which would be the most logical or effective to do?
August 15th, 2007 at 6:43 am
hey can anyone tell me how a t7300 cpu with 2gig ram and a Geforce 8600M GS will handle bioshock and crysis?

Needed to know if i should get the game for my 360 or notebook some help please. these are my specs.
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB
2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm
511MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
is there anything else i need to know?
August 15th, 2007 at 11:18 am
ok so i have an e6850 @3.0 ghz each core 8 gigs of pc6400 ram 680i motherboard 2 8800 gtx oc2 in sli all on a 22” lcd screen at 1680×1050, can i max out bioshock and crysis?
August 16th, 2007 at 6:19 am
Ok so BioShock, Unreal 3 ~ aka. all unreal 3 engine..
This is the deal. The unreal engine is first off optimized for multiple cores. They use one thread to push out textures -and they use a thread for physics. So that’s the advantage. Quad cores will not benefit dramatically. Unreal 3 is more cpu intensive because a lot of the calculations are made here for physics.
You should still be fine with a single core processor like the San Diego’s from AMD. However there will be a performance boost with the unreal 3 engine with 2 cores.
Another thing. Unreal 3 is DX9 based so again a 8800gtx/ultra fx. will outperform any card at the present.
It has been reported that Unreal 3 has been seen on mid quality running on 7800GT’s -and very smoothe.
So looks like the guys making the unreal engine are doing a lot of optimization.
Oh and – yeah 64bit is fast with the 8800GTX
August 16th, 2007 at 9:28 am
I have a core 2 duo 1.8ghz and 2gb ram which i guess will be ok for bioshock, my gfx card is a geforce 8400gs and im wondering if this will be good enough?

why did you waste ur money on a quad core when dual cores are just barely supported by games… you will not get any additional benefit from a quad core unless your doing some extreme art or video editing or recording and mixing music… other then that u just wasted cash.
how much are you paying for that rig in USD, I bet you i could make somethign better that what you’ve listed for less than $2,000USD
August 17th, 2007 at 2:46 am
Ha got my new pc just in time
August 17th, 2007 at 8:21 am
Hey guys.i cant wait for bioshock,ive been following it closely since it was announced.i think it could be game of the year?I dont know much about computers tho.lol.Will my computer be able to play it?if so how well?my specs are:
AMD Live Dual Core 64×2 5600 (2.8GHz) Processor
Dual Channel 2GB (2×1024MB) 667Mhz DDR2 Ram
256Mb nVidia GeForce 8600GT Graphics card

Hey guys wondering if anyone could tell me if my system would run this game decently:
Intel Core 2 Duo T2700 2.00GHz Processor
2gb RAM
Windows Vista 32bit
ATI Mobility Raedeon X2300
Thats what i can quickly scrap up about the system.
August 18th, 2007 at 8:59 am
can a computer with Ati X200 or Ati Radeon 9200SE run this game? the first one can handle oblivion but alitle low fps.
August 18th, 2007 at 11:07 am
x850 work yes or no???
August 18th, 2007 at 11:24 am

August 18th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
I think it is pretty pointless to tell how well a system will handle a game untill it comes out. In my experiences, if you go the minimum requirements it means that you experience stuttering and huge amounts of lag and even with the recommended requirements you can still get poor framerates. Look at Titan Quest and it’s expansion. TQ works fine with a decent system, but even if you have a killer machine if you install the expansion pack it rubberbands like heck. Rule of thumb is wait a week for it to come out, check the forums and see what kind of problems people are having before deciding.
August 18th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Bioshock looks amazing, but I dont see it killing ur computer. An 8800 will crush this game like no tomorrow, same with the 8600. I dont think u need that fast of a dual core processor either. It kinda felt like it didnt use as much as crysis would.
August 19th, 2007 at 3:40 am
so you think my AMD 64×2 dual 2.8GHz, 2gb Ram and 256mb nVidia 8600GT will run it well then? i would really like some opinions on it.thanks
August 19th, 2007 at 6:14 am
I’m really interested in Bioshock and I was wondering if my rig would run this game.
Amd Opteron 165@175
1gb RAM (going to buy another gb)
7900gs 512mb (overclocked and almost as fast as 7900gt
What do you think?
August 19th, 2007 at 11:54 am
This is my rig:
AMD Athlon FX-57
2 GB DDR Ram
EN7800GT Dual 512mb
I can run almost all games on max resolution, but do you think my rig can take Bioshock?
August 20th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
I have a question, and I know the specs are up there, but in your opinion, you think my system will run bioshock more than in the minimum settings ?
My Rig:
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.9GHz
1024mb DDR Ram
ATi X1600 Pro PCI-Express 512MB
I hope I can because I already bought it through steam =/.
August 21st, 2007 at 8:47 am
Hi..
Does anyone know if my system:
Intel Pentium 4 3.6 ghz,
2 gigs of RAM and
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
would run BioShock well??
August 21st, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Why is everybody complaining even with the 7X series they quite good and those people with the 7600GTand higher will play it fine.
like the minimum specs are just pretty much
Intel Pentium D 805 / AMD Athlon 64 4000+
1-1.5gigs of ram
nVidia 7600GT / ATI Radeon X1600Pro
Seriously those should play the game with no problem if you aren’t maxing out too high but
Superknown your good to go
Aevus you can probably run on minimum depending on res
Greg it looks fine totally Athlon FX will wipe it away
amismissle It you work no problem with the 7800
& Leezo with your rig with the 8X series it’s good cuz 8600GT and up are rather good range.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:51 am
Damn game producers and publishers, they make games pretty unoptimized nowadays so hardware companies can sell their expensive garbage. Maybe their’s a conspiracy somewhere in this. Deus Ex wasn’t lying! If BioShock runs on my 6600GT with mynimum details ( i mean it should according to Irrational, but come on, right?)i’m probably going to choke with beer. If not, the same! When will official requirements meet the real ones?
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:55 am
Got the game today and can’t play it. Just as I couldnt play Splinter Cell, and just as I won’t be able to play Crysis et all. Been running an ATI Radeaon X800XL which was the top card in its day, and in AGP 8X.
Only way I can upgrade the card, is to replace the board with a PCI-E 16x setup, and thats too damn expensive. So I will get another year out of my computer before doing the over.
THIS IS WHY new games aren’t selling anywhere near as well as they could. The Tech race is just pricing people out…. not with the cost of individual cards, just with the frequency they neeed to be replaced, and the frequency card architecture also changes.
Happy gaming. I’ll be taking up less expensive past times, or sticking with stuff that continues to soldier on and within reach of the lay man.
WoW anyone?
August 23rd, 2007 at 4:53 am
My rig is Intel Core 2 duo, 1.8Ghz, 2GB Ram, Vista, Nvidia 8400m GT. Will i be able to run BioShock?? I hope so, it looks awesome!!
August 23rd, 2007 at 6:23 am
Probably not with ur 8400.. that is the weakiest thing about ur pc.
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:46 am
Thanks dude, although that kinda sucks!!! Sony make it seem like that card is the bomb in all their advertising!! Wish i could afford more than the VGN-FZ11L !!!
August 23rd, 2007 at 5:09 pm
WooW… what requirements… If I install this gam eon my PC it will burn becouse of overload…
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Would love to play but not sure if my sys will handle it well. I don`t expect to crank it up to max but don`t want to have it running super low either.Here`s what I`ve got –
AMD64 3800+ (New Orleans I believe)
GeForce 7900GS 256meg
1Gig DDR2
Worried about the processor mostly. Any thoughts?
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:11 pm
You should be fine lombardo.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:37 pm

These is my specs:
Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.33GHz

Does anyone think I will be able to run Bioshock?
Thanks
August 24th, 2007 at 5:19 am
yeah, but ur video card might be slowing u down alittle.
August 24th, 2007 at 8:26 am
I have an:
Athlon 3400+
2 GB DDR PC3200 RAM
Nvidia 6800 GT 256 Mb RAM
The game runs very poorly, even on low to medium settings.
A am returning it tomorrow, waste of money on my machine.
August 24th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
NOTE: THIS GAME WILL NOT RUN ON CARDS THAT DON’T SUPPORT PIXEL SHADER 3.0. AND YES, THAT WASN’T IN THE PUBLISHED SPECS. GRRRR.
August 24th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Grant why have you included warranty information, monitor type, number or usb ports, card readers, mouse, delivery charge and and 3 year warranty in your spec. I’m affraid it wont run on your system because you got free delivery “worth £40″ get a life
August 24th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
If you want to be ripped off buying alien ware instead of building your own rig that’s your loss. Build your own, even a monkey could do it, and better probably. Some people are so lazy.
August 24th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
i meant Bonic not Grant, you obviously know a thing or two Grant and are not a noob like Bonic
August 24th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
I’m running this game on full settings on a rig I built 2 yrs ago for £350 granted ive upgraded my graphics since then, but that’s all.

August 24th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
This game isn’t demanding for dx10. I expect anyone with a 7600 or up for dx9 or anyone with a 8600 and up for dx10. Now, when crysis comes out.. this will test our machines.
August 24th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
i’m running a BFG Tech 7800 GTX OC (DX 9) with 2GB RAM and an AMD Athlon 4000 San Diego Singlecore (overclocked to 2.8)
what will I need to upgrade to start playin these next gen games?
August 25th, 2007 at 5:59 am
I’ve got a SUPER Pentium 2 with 64MB of ram and a 16Mb graphic card coupled with an amazing 6 gigabyte hard drive.
Will I be able to run BioShock? Or do you think I’ll have to upgrade my graphic card to a 32Mb one?
August 25th, 2007 at 11:10 am
I’m curious if my computer can run it. It’s pretty weak and obselete, but it can run oblivion decently.
2.66 ghz
512 ram
ATI 9550 128mb
August 25th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Super Gammer- lol
waffletaco-no you cant, you need 1 gig of ram and your video card is gona choke to death,
Bye the way why did phil say you need shader lvl 3.0?
it says in the requirements you can use a gf 6600, those are 2.0 from what i know.
August 26th, 2007 at 12:01 am
Eugkra, is right You need a GFX card thats got suport for pixel shader 3
x800 x850 , wont work, you can run the game , but it will be all messed up, If your still on (AGP) your best bet will be to buy a x1950 pro, you can get them for about £100
August 26th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Two issues when looking at x1950pro AGP cards:
1. Heat — adequate cooling of voltage regulators (VRE) is VERY important. Some cards (HSI, PowerColor) have it, others (Sapphire) don’t. My Sapphire just fell over after 2 days use due to heat.
2. Power supply — watts aren’t quite as important as amps. You need a PS that can supply 30 amps on the 12 volt rail continuously.
As usual, Google, Google, Google for the details.

Guys,
Help me out here: I’m running XP at the moment. I’ve got an AMD 64 4000+ single core processor and a 7800 GT 256 meg, 2gb ram, A8n SLI Deluxe. I’m going to upgrade to a 320meg 8800 GT soon.
1. Does the DX10 version of Bioshock, or any other game, look much different to the DX9 version?
2. Will the single core processor cope with these new games, d’you think? The 4000+ is pretty good.

If I were you man. Go on ebay sell your processor for a good 50 bucks- 60 bucks. You can buy a nice AMD 6000 plus, as of right now I wouldn’t touch the 8800gts or 88000gtx. I made my mistake into doing that. You can buy the AMD 5600-6400 for around 150 bucks. That’s amazing, and it’s dual core with a fast bus speed.
I would think about upgrading your board to a AM2 socket, with 32x sli man. Your board has 8×8x, that sucks. No true sli there, you get no speed gained.. only VRAM to equal 512. The way your sli was meant to be was for better resolution. With a 32x sli board, you get 100 percent of your 2nd card.
Example…
I had the same motherboard.

Okay, I sold that motherboard to my friend. So, I know a lot about it. And how nvidia tried to sucker me into thinking you got 100 percent of your card when sli just came out.
Look at the pattern bro, when 1 card is in 1 slot it’s 16x right? Well, when another card gets popped in it becomes 8×8x.
So, you have a 7900. Like me on my older card, it had this
600 core
1600 clock
256 mb memory.. this is on pci e 16x
With 8×8x sli the card ends up being more like this
300 core, 800 clock 256 mb + 300 core, 800 clock =
600 core, 1600 clock and 512mb. Basically old sli was for higher resolution.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:46 am
Say you bought a 8800 gts 320mb card on a 680i mother board, they’re really cheap now. Around, 140-160 now. I bought a evga, but xfx,MSI,ASUS make great boards too.
MY 8800 ultra has these specs man. (evga)
655 core
2250 memory
128 PPL
768 mb memory
with sli being 32x man, it keeps all of the specs for the second card. So, now-a-day sli isn’t a waste anymore.
My card tally upped to
1310 core
4500 memory clock
256 pixel pipelines
1536 memory.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:05 am
Oh, right, thanks Wickerman. I’m on a bit of a budget, though, see, so new mobo and processor is a wee bit down the line.
I’m not planning on going SLI at all, so would you still say NOT to get an 8800 gts? I’ll only be running on card, as that’s all I can afford.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:08 am
Bioshock should be fine on a 4000 amd single core. 7800 gt should be fine also.
I would get the 8800 320mb, it’s a great card no doubt. PLus, ull play crysis maxed out on dx9. It should do high on dx10.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:08 am
dammit, only be running ONE card.
I’m a brit, by the way, in case you haven’t guessed.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:09 am
Good man, that’s what I wanted to hear. Many thanks.
August 28th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
I wanted to know if this would run Bioshock well.
August 28th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Damn well that posted without letting me finish haha. AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4800+ 2.41 GHz, 2 GB Ram and a Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT

When I download the demo and try it for some reason it wont even let me try it. Gets an error =/

new laptop:
AMB Turion 64 MK-38 2.20Ghz
1GB RAM
Vista 32-Bit
VIA Chrome HC IGP
God do you think it will still run?
August 28th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
Just tried the demo and its great, i advise getting it from steam make sure you have latest gfx and dx drivers also.
Running it on duel core 1.8 geforce 8400gs (woo budget!) 2gb ram and vista32
looks amazing all settings on high, slight dip in fps when action is heavy making it a little hard to aim but still very playable.
hope this helps ppl with their spec queries.
August 28th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Here are my specs:
Athlon X2 4200+
2GB Corsair RAM
Soundblaster X fi sound card
Geforce 7950 GX2 1GB of memory
do you guys think it will run on dx9 with everything maxed out?
thanks!
August 28th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
not to be a dick, but come on now wintergreen. It’s like mathematics, you sorta plug in the formula. Your system is way way way over the recommendations.
August 29th, 2007 at 9:09 am
[...] it? It has no specs for that card, simply 256mb on board gfx card. Bioshock is quite intensive. BioShock System Requirements Released
August 29th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
LOL. Tis true, now that I think about it.
August 30th, 2007 at 1:18 am
Will Crysis or Bioshock run on my system?
Pentium 4, 3.06 Ghz
Nvidia 7600 GS 512 mb gfx card
1 gig ram.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:26 am
hey everybody i just bought a nvidia geforce FX5500 256mb
will this work for playing bioshock???
August 30th, 2007 at 7:37 am
u made a big mistake buying that card now, jomha… that card is out of even the minimum requirements of today’s games..
August 30th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
LOL @ jomha.
anyways doing an upgrade on the cheap.
you guys reckon ill be running it alright on:
4200+ x2 939
2gb ram
7900gs 512mb
im figuring my cpu is the weak point of the system obviously but i may attempt an overclock
is this game more graphics intensive or cpu intensive?
and LOL i should try running it on my 3500+, 1 gig ram and 6600gt
thats like my mate playing hl2 on full settings with a 9250 =/
August 30th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
thnx i am goin today to return and look for a better one i found online a geforce XFX 8600GTS 256MB DDR3 (will that work??) but it needs a 350 watt power supply but my computer only has a 250 watt power supply can i put a new power supply of greater power supply without damaging other parts of my computer??
August 30th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
I have a Radeon 9550 and only 512 RAM….should i even try to run the game
August 30th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Jomha, don’t get a 8600. Atleast spend the extra for a 8800. Trust me, the 8600/8400/8200 are a joke.
August 30th, 2007 at 9:44 pm
If your not sure about your system being able to run bioshock try http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
It can/will tell you if your system can run it (and other games)and if not what is letting you down.
August 30th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
HI,I think my amd fx 57 , 7950 gx2 xt edition and 2 gigs of ram should about handle it but ive got a 24inch dell will it be ok 1900×1200 do you think?

I have a:
XP Professional
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1,86 GHz *
2 GB DDR2
Nvidia 7600GT 256MB **
*Tho, i want to Overclock it to about 2,40, what do you think, it will help me with performance in games that use Unreal 3 engine?
** if i wanna change it, what should i choose? (something not more than 200-250$, since i haven’t got much money now…)
August 31st, 2007 at 3:24 am
hey everbody i just got a radeon 1650X PRO 512 MB DDR2 is that good for playing bioshock???other stuff are really new
August 31st, 2007 at 3:28 am
i have a pent 4 2.8GHZ 1GB RAM 512MB radeon 1650X pro think it will run biochock???
August 31st, 2007 at 4:38 am
Jomha yea, but I would update your video card.
Bogdan, you shouldn’t have a problem.
Bogdan, For 250 dollars you can buy a quad core (q6600) clocked @ 2.4 ghz. And a e6850 for 260 clocked at 3.0 ghz. The e6850 is alot better than the q6600 and with a zalman 9700 nt cooler. I can reach to 4.2 ghz on air around 40 c

classic and matt yes yes yes!
August 31st, 2007 at 3:01 pm
@ The Wicker:
I don’t wanna buy a new proc, it’s good for now, if overclocked even better.
I was asking about an upgrade for the video card.
August 31st, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I mean you cessor is fine, I would at least over clock it to a 2.4.
September 1st, 2007 at 12:39 am
I run this game on full settings @ 1280×1024
XP PRO
x1950 pro 512mb AGP
single core AMD 64 3400+
1 gig Corsair ram
I get some jitters for the first 3 secs of starting a game, but other then that, it runs really smooth and fast.
I dont have a reasion to upgrade just yet
Heres a screen shot, running on my system
http://www.junglespider.me.uk/BioshockScreen1.jpg
September 1st, 2007 at 5:25 am
Yeah that’s all you really need.
September 2nd, 2007 at 2:42 am
@Wicker Man, ok, i’ve got a guide for overclocking (haven’t done it alone yet) and i’ll try to do it.
Anyway, what do you think about a new Video Card?
September 2nd, 2007 at 5:46 am
Yeah the new card sounds great, but overlocking is easy.
When your pc starts up hit the delete key to get into bios, Im not sure of the other button. Usually it’s delete not backspace. It should tell you.
When in bios look around, mine says overclocking.
Find something that kinda looks like this\
Multi 8x. It might not be highlighted, but click it to make it 8x.
Then type in the numbers 333. This should give you the speed of 2.66.. faster than the e6700
September 2nd, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Do you guys tihnk i will be able to run bioshock on low atleast?
RIG =
6600LE 256mb
2.0GHZ AMD
800mb RAM
September 3rd, 2007 at 3:20 am
Simom, if your GFX card suports pixel shader 3.0, you should be fine to run the game on low, maybe medium, if your card dont suport pixel shader 3.0, thay is a mod fix on the net ( not made by 2K ) to suport pixel shader 2.0, its a little bit buggy at the moment also, but at least it works, maybe when 2K bring the first patch out, thay will include a 2.0 pixel shader fix
September 3rd, 2007 at 4:46 pm
i have it running with jitters at a load point and after that it’s fine settings are set at medium.
My PC is:-
AMD Sempron 3000 O/c to 2.24ghz,

going to run fraps to get frame rates but i have no probs

I think i’ll be ok, this game does sound impressive, so i think i’ll buy it however it runs on my system
September 4th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
ive got an old geforce fx 5500 and im gonna buy a new graphics card what kind should i get to run this game somewhat decent.
budget under $125
September 5th, 2007 at 11:40 am
id also like to add that ive got an amd athlon xp 3200+ processor (dont laugh im in college)
dont know if that says anythin
other than the fact that my pc isnt that cool
September 6th, 2007 at 10:39 am
guys, i’m having issues running this game on my pc and i believe i exceed the requirements.
i’m new to pc gaming so i’m sure my terms are off – but the game keeps sticking (screen seems frozen – then unfrozen, then frozen, etc.) and it peggs my processor. its not even playable in its current state.
• Windows XP
• P4 3.2 GHZ (single core)
• 2.5 GB RAM
• BFG GeForce 7300 GT 512MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card
this is on a newly built system with very little running in the background – i even stop all antivirus processes while playing and am having issues. i even changed the advanced WINDOWS settins to favor performance over appearance with no positive results. and no errors in the event viewer…
anyone running into this issue?
any credible advise?
September 9th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Doyle,, have you installed the GFX driver fix ? if not,, if you look around the net or on navida website , you will fine a navida bioshock driver fix, i hope this helps, ATI have a driver bioshock fix also.
September 10th, 2007 at 12:45 am
I have a computer with
1.97ghz AMD 64 Dual Core CPU
GeForce Go 6150 256MB
2gb RAM
Windows Vista
I noticed that the Geforce graphics cards suggested list 6600+ and i was wondering if Bioshock would work off my 6150, my computer is a lap top, thanks in advance
September 10th, 2007 at 3:10 am
it may do but i doubt it, depends because the rest of your system is good enough to do it but that gfx card is letting you down. and why the hell is everyone suggesting people by the 8 series!!!! the 8 series are shit and the 9 series from nvidia which run dx10.1 which the 8 series cannot run comes out in november for the same price as most of the 8 series cards now. wait a month and get a 9800 nvidia and it will eat bioshock and you will be in a graphics wonderland
September 10th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
I just noticed something weird, i used that program shown above, and it lists my graphics memory at only 64MB, but when I bought my computer it was listed on the box and as a selling point at 256mb… how can i check this myself on the computer? thanks again!
September 10th, 2007 at 9:41 pm

Hey,
I have a laptop with an intel 4 [hp tech] – 3.0Ghz
1GB ram and my graphics card is an ATI radeon 9700.
I know this is kind of pusing it a bit, but will this run the game sufficiently? if not, what if I change the resolution to 1024*768 coz im used to playing games at this res and the lack of crispness dont really bother me much.
Thanks.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
sorry, my video card is 8650m with 512 mb
September 14th, 2007 at 9:50 pm

Apparently I’m gonna need that upgrade that I’ve been wanting to play this one. Anyone know if AMD A64 3200+ will run Bioshock, or am I gonna need a new processor?
September 16th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
everyone my 7300 on a 3.2 celeron can put out everything @ medium settings (800 x 600) and i think it still looks awesome. cant wait to scrap this fer a dual core though lol

September 26th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
This is the only thing I’ve seen that’s tempted me towards Vista (I haven’t looked at many other games yet for DX10 though, I admit); I know what I’ll be doing when I get my new Macbook Pro (hello Boot Camp).
Admittedly the Video Card will be a bit of a detriment (an 8600 with 256MB memory), but the rest of the system should be pretty nice (2.4 C2D, 2GB memory). Not to mention I’ve always like the screen quality, so it should look pretty nice too.
September 27th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
I have p4 2.0 ghz (planning to o’cl), radeon x1650 512 mb card, 1 gb of ram (planning on buying another gig), will it run allright on my rig.
September 28th, 2007 at 6:56 am
I have a ATI Radeon A9250. Can it handle Bioshock?

Have a Celeron D 3.06 Ghz PC, 1 Gig Ram , 256MB (turbo Cache up to 512MB) Geforce XFX 8400GS PCI-E.
How d you think it’ll run – not after Uber resolutions – have 19″ TFT.
Any reccomendations to improve speed? !
September 29th, 2007 at 11:50 am
i got pentium d 935 3.2GHz Clock Speed

Ok, have just got for myself:
Core 2 duo E6750 2.66Ghz
2GB DDR2 800Mhz 6400 RAM
ATI HD2600XT DDR4 512MB
Is that likely to run on a res of 1650×1050 well in either DX9 or DX10?
September 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
I would’ve gotten the new intels coming next month. You can get a quad core, faster then the Q6850 for 300. Also, it’s at 12mb cache.
And yes.
October 1st, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Hi guys.
My specs on this piece of metal i have as is follows.
AMD Athlon xp 3200+ 2200MHz
1532 mb ram
and a Radeon 9600 series graphics card.
will it run Bioshock
Help
Cheers
October 4th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
My PC specs are Pentium II 32 MB RAM, and a 4MB Ultra Modern AGP Video Card.
Can I run Bioshock smoothly with this?
October 5th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Hi,
“I have the best computer that money can buy! Max everything, dual this, dual that, overclocked blah blah blah. Can i run this game…!!??” Some of you ppl posting comments are retards. Look at the freaking recommended requirements. You dont need to boast about your computer by asking if it will run the game when you clearly know it will! And if you honestly dont know, then you shouldnt own a High End computer in the first place.
October 5th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Hey all, just came back to tell everyone that I got Bioshock last weekend, and it plays fine on my system.
If you didn’t read my posts, here’s my PC stats again:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+(Plan to get AMD Athlon X2 6000+ Dual Core processor)
1GB RAM(Gonna get another gig soon)
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB VRAM(Plan on upgrading to HD2600XT 512MB DX10 Compatibility)
Windows Vista Basic(With a system rating of 4.1 out of 5.9)
And I can play the game very well with the settings on medium, getting 60+ FPS always. Hope that helps you guys out.
October 5th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Oh btw lol on that comment freddy. Hilarious.
October 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Hey guys, I have a:

Is there any hope? Will there be more hope if I upgrade to ATI’s X1950 Pro 512 MB?
October 8th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
I have an integrated ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 graphic card. I’ve noticed that the graphics in BioShock are horrible for me. I see particle effects showing the scene in front of me mirrored hundreds of times in tiny cubes that seem to shower down and around. I cannot even get past the first level because I can’t see what’s what and where anything is. Is my graphics card too underpowered?
October 11th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
I was having frame rate issues when using AA, and Bloom or HHD lighting while playing game likes S.T.A.L.K.E.R
and F.E.A.R., I have a 2.2ghz duo, 2 Gig RAM, and the
ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 256meg… do you think I’d be able to play Bioshock with decent graphic setting while having a stable frame rate?

Because I see that it runs fine on other peoples machines with the Radeon x1300, is it because mine is a Radeon Mobility? >.> Also both times (F.E.A.R. and S.T.A.L.K.E.R) I met the system requirements but was the frame rate lagging because they were designed for NVidia Cards? yeah off topic, but thanks

Just got this computer, looks like i cannot run Bioshock, is that correct? Just a casual gamer, but for factory built computers w/mass preinstalled graphic cards, they really don’t have much mmmmph do they? Thanks for feedback.
October 16th, 2007 at 5:11 am
so i have a laptop from 2.5 years ago wondering if its worth getting the game. Specs:
Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 ultra

I’m thinking my system might not work out
October 17th, 2007 at 4:59 am
Amd Athlon 64 3000+ at 2.16, 1.5 GB ram, X1600 pro 512MB (500,800). I have finished Bioshock with max graphic quality in 1024×768 and I had no problems with framerate. Next year I will buy a Phenom processor, 1Gb of ram and 8800gts.

FPS’s require too much bang, I may have to stick with the RTS’s for a little longer
December 27th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
ive got an anthlon64 with 2 gigs of ram and what i need to know is what is cheapest video card that will run this game on at least normal or med settings. and my graphics is something to be ashamed of…
December 28th, 2007 at 8:00 am
i was jwin, if my new: 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS will be able to run bioshock smoothly, can any 1 tell me??
December 30th, 2007 at 5:00 am
Don’t you guys think it’s silly when some retard asks “oh em gee can my 8800GTS 640MB run this”? I mean come on now, if you have an 8800 and you’re asking a stupid question like that, you can’t POSSIBLY be smart enough to know how to put a costly piece of hardware like that to good use. Save it for someone who actually knows how to use it and stick to a 7600. And to all the people who post that it DOES run at max, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT IT DOES. No need to brag about how much money you spent on your computer and how great your video card is. And yes, if you couldn’t tell, I AM mad because people are so silly and ignorant. Bear with my ranting, it’s 5:00 AM and I’m hella tired.

You know this thread could have been a lot smaller if most of you would have actually read the post’s about the system requirements, or were all just trying to have a a contest about who had the bigger dick?
February 7th, 2008 at 3:23 am
I have AMD Athlon 64 Processor
3000+
1.8 GHz , 1 GB of RAM
Radeon X1600 series
Can I run it on that?
February 16th, 2008 at 6:48 am
could someone shoot me an email (since i probably wont be on here besides this post) (my email is korn_23_2004@hotmail.com) anyway, i was wondering if the specs on my comp would be able to run bioshock (and crysis since they seem to be relatively the same requirements). anyways i know i need more ram i have 2 gigs but running vista its hard. i have a geforce go 7150m video card a AMD Turion 64×2 1.9GHz processor. from what Ive been noticing from trying to run both i need something like 3-4 gigs of ram to run either game right but it dont seem to have to much load on my processor…. i know if i played either game i would probably have to run them on low or medium (more then likely low video quality). but if someone could shoot me an email telling me what they think that would be great.
February 28th, 2008 at 1:53 am
I’ve got a point of view nvidia geforce 7600gt 256 meg

Too many posts regarding this, just thought I’d clarify…. NO ONE can max out crysis, with ANY system. NASA is still working on that…….

Hello Computing experts of the net will one of you be so kind as to advise me on my computing system:
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz
2.00GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE
loads of disk space
I was considering purchasing this graphics card
http://www.saverstore.com/product/20026142/XFX-GeForce-9500-GT-1024MB-PCI-E-Dual-DVIHDTV-Graphics-Card-PV-T95G-ZAFG
Would my system with the new graphics card work for bioshock or is there any better graphics cards to go for in
April 24th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
i have 3.8 ghz
4gb ram
1gb videocard
intel
can i run this
May 15th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I currently have an Intel Pentium 4 2.4ghz with 1gb RAM and a GeForce 6600 GT graphics card…. so you can imagine my disappointment when I bought and tried to run BioShock today. The game looked amazing (if jerky for obvious reasons) until I actually started moving about, and realized I hadn’t a hope in hell of actually playing the game. LOL. Now looking to upgrade, what do you think i should get first? I’m thinkin graphics card but not sure which to buy.
May 15th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Incidentally, my comp matched all the minimum system requirements, which begs the question why they bloody bothered putting them on the box.
July 11th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Looks like my pc will kill this game without a breath, LOL
Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz

September 23rd, 2009 at 10:13 am
do you think a nVIDIA Ge5600 with 256 MB will run bioshock? Do you think it depends on the processor? I thinking i might be able to use an OC’d Pentium D 840?
