GTX 670 and Bioshock Infinite

[MJC8917]

Hi guys,

I'm about to pre-order Bioshock Infinite but I'm a little bit confused about the technical requirements. I ran a compatibility check on canyourunit.com and it says my machine falls below the recommended settings. The recommended GPU for running it was a GTX 580 with DX11 compatibility. I currently own a GTX 670 FTW, and canyourunit is recommending that I upgrade!

I'm a little bit confused by this. If the recommended card is a 580, mine should easily be able to handle Bioshock Infinite shouldn't it? Or am I missing something?

The rest of the components were above the recommended level, but here they are:

CPU: Intel i7 Quad-Core
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3
GPU: EVGA GTX 670 FTW
PSU: Corsair 750 W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS V GENE Intel Z77

Thanks in advance!

This is the requirements that the creaters of Bioshock: Infinite announced. You will be more than able to run the game at highest detail at 1920x1080.

Here is the page of the requirements, where they explain a bit of how and why:

Should be fine, it probably says it wont work on some minor technicality or just isn't updated to recognize the newer hardware.

It uses unreal engine with added DX11 effects.Either it will be optimized or will be a laggy stuttering mess like batman arkham city.
