[Multiplatform] Bioshock. Available on Wii 12/5/2010

Alright I have a quick question about the PC requirements for this game.

I realize I won't be able to run it at all high level wise, but, I have everything except the 2.4ghz processor to run it...I only have 1.9ghz.

Does that mean that absolutely I will not be able to run the game?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

About the faceplate, is the title actually raised or is it just REALLY good shading that makes it look 3D?

@Grail
Your general performance will be lowered due to performance. MAjor 3 things to turn down to increase CPU performance for you will be;
-shadows
-particles
-physics

Thoes three make the largest hit on CPU cycle usage.

Oy....I think Forsety has it here...mine isn't a duel core processor ;____; I'm quite sad at this...I think mine's only an AMD Athlon 2600...no duel core

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm actually not sure what the performance in Bioshock will be like with that CPU...the game *seems* to put a larger strain on the GPU than the CPU, but I haven't seen any official benchmarks for it yet. In any case, I'd say give the demo a try regardless and see how well it runs. I played Deus Ex on a 200mhz computer, so Bioshock on a 2600+ isn't too far-fetched. Oh and just ignore raw ghz ratings, a 2600+ is supposed to run *as well as* a 2.6ghz processor even if it only actually runs at 1.9ghz (unless they were specifically referencing AMD processor speeds with that). What are your other specs though? I thought the game required a DX9c compatible videocard (i.e. Nvidia 6x00/ATI 1x00 or better)

Oh, and is that Athlon 2600 a 939 pin by chance? If so, you can upgrade to a dual core for pretty cheap now: Newegg.com has x2 3800+ 939 pin dual cores for under $70 last I checked, and often you can get a pretty big performance boost on those if you're willing/capable of overclocking them (I got mine running stable at 2.7ghz without any extra cooling amazingly).

Well, i'm not too sure if it's a 939 pin, I could probably find out easily enough. But the reason why I'm so worried about my processing power is because I've just barely scraped the rest of the specs...I've got 1.5 gigs of ram

And my video card is an Nvideo 6800 GS. That's about all the main ones I can think of that would matter right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well goodie, now I'll be able to find out how SHITTY this game runs on my shitty shitty computer


This'll save me 50 bucks! yay!

Now all tht's left is the Stranglehold Demo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, I have both good news and bad news for anyone wanting to run this game with less than 2 ghz processing power, 1.5 gigs of ram, and a 6800 Nvidia GS video card.

The good news is, at the lowest settings possible the game runs, and even though it's all at a low setting, it still looks really, really good.

The bad news: Up until the fighting begins, there are no problems at all, but as soon as the fighting starts, my colors started to flicker, and my game would start locking up for periods of time.

I was speaking idiomatically.
