Okay, so I just brough the game bioshock which is a title I have been looking forward to for AGES and lo and behold its running like crap...
Ill try to keep this post short and sweet so here is my system specs.
Cpu - Intel Q6600 running at stock speeds
Gpu - Nvidia 7900gs Running at 550 core and 690 mem
Ram - 4 Gb of GeiL Black Dragon 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800mhz RAM
Mobo - Asus p5k Deluxe stock bios - ( Everything else is working fine and have heard about issues with updated bios )
Operating System - Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit
Basically the fps is awful, there is no option to display fps in game but I estimate that one enemy causes a drop to about 15 - 25 fps Im trying to run it at 1680 x 1050 which is my native res and I assumed that a relativley powerful 7900 card which is also overclocked should have no problems..
I am using the beta drivers from nvidia made for bioshock as recommended..
I called tech support and spoke to a nice enough guy who sounded tired ( probably cause of all the complaints 2k are getting with their ludicrous copy protection system ) and all he could reccomend was turning the resolution down to 1024 x 768 - which although does improve the performance just wont do when I pay over 1000 pounds for a new computer and meet all the reccomended specs for the game..
Is anyone else having and performance problems and is it a problem connected to running in widescreen mode ?
Thanks in advance - Liam
