    Nice read that Uriel. Pity that ATI/AMD gets a bit of a hit but catches up in the end on the higher resolutions.

    So much for the lauded DX10 changes, not much to see was there.

    Re: Bioshock GPU benchmarks

    Something fishy here though. They report very little difference between DX9 and DX10 but users are saying there's quite a difference in framerate. It will be interesting to see how this one pans out.

    The differences are more aparent in motion - for example DX9 water when you move through it has whitish splashes on the surface, where as in DX10 the water moves around and ripples off from where you've been.

    well unless you've seen that yourself . . .
    Going by thoe pictures the water ripples looked exactly the same.
    Also rebounding ripples sound like physics not shaders, shaders will infulence how light reflexs off the surface (or how they make it look like light reflecting off it)

    From thoes screen shots the only differnces were transparency blending (when you realise that "smoke" textured particals and and fog are basically the same thing just on differnt scales)

    Looks like dx9 should have a good bit of life left in it.

    Re: Bioshock GPU benchmarks

    DX9 - splicers make 'waves' in the water
    DX10 - splicers + player (when you look down/behind you) makes 'waves' in the water

    I think anyway, i've only seen a youtube vid of it - will test when my pc stuffs comes in a few days .

    Re: Bioshock GPU benchmarks

    The way i took it from that article, bioshock was designed around DX9 and was modified for use with DX10. Surely this means that its not an overly reliable test as far as DX10 benchies go. Il wait for crysis/cod4 tbh

    I think they should have called it "Direct X- I'll wait". All I ever seem to hear about it

    A few more for you all. These ones have got lower end cards, RAM and CPU comparisons too.

    Re: Bioshock GPU benchmarks

    FWIW the game runs perfectly on my 7800GT at 1280*1024 with all settings at 'High'. I was very surprised since I was expecting the demo to completely kill my system (AMD 4000+, 2gb RAM) but since it didn't, I bought the game. Using the 1:1 mode on my 2407 gives a nice crisp bit of eye candy in the middle of a big black border, and is definitely better than letting the panel try to scale the image to fit the panel.

    Re: Bioshock GPU benchmarks

    Actually I'm surprised by how well my 2407wpf scales. I've been running at 1440x900 and 1280x800 (both stretched) and it really doesn't look bad in this game. The main exception is when looking out of the windows when distortion is enabled and it's block'o'vision all the way (which I acually think is more to do with the effect they're using than the monitor).

    Some of the other resolutions scale horribly though.
