Rdy for Bioshock? No you aren’t.

by Stuart Piazza

Holy Smokes! I just upgraded my PC! You know, when Vista came out and everything, many PC gamers went out and bought new graphics cards, dual core processors, and many many gigabytes of RAM. However, if you felt that you got the bottom of the barrel top liner, and didn’t get the most for your buck, then you may be out of luck if you are wanting to play Bioshock later this year.

Unless you have a graphics card with 512mb or more, 2gb of Ram, and a Dual Core processor, then your Bioshock graphical settings on the PC may turn out to look like the original System Shock.

The full system requirements list after the break.

Operating Systems:

* Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or
* Windows Vista

Minimum System Requirements:

* CPU: Pentium 4 2.4GHz Single Core processor
* System RAM: 1GB
* Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550).
* Sound Card: 100 direct X 9.0c compatible sound card
* Hard disc space: 8GB free space

Recommended System Requirements:

* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
* System RAM: 2GB
* Video card:
o DX9: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT or better)
o DX10: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 or better
* Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Optimized for use with Creative Labs EAX ADVANCED HD 4.0 or EAX ADVANCED HD 5.0 compatible sound cards)

Once again, this may be a title that will be cheaper to play on your Xbox 360, and will look just as good on the console. For all of you that are true PC gamers, and gave an 8800 series card like me, it is now our time to turn at laugh at everyone who has those series 6 nVidia cards, who won’t be able to play this title with it’s fully eye candy and glory.
