Bioshock Infinite performance

On my 7950 doing benchmark on ultra 1080p DOF off minimum 34fps, average 84fps , max 251fps.

Playing the game 1080P with max settings FOV off vsync on was pretty much just locked to 60fps.

The Depth of field was giving me stutter and frame drops so it had to go.

My samsung green ram is just running at stock and my graphics is only running at 1000mhz 1400mhz so I should do better once I get my overclocks sorted.

So you wouldn't swap your AMD cards for my Titans then?

It shows 24 fps but at no time in the game is it playing at 24fps but hey...You have been having little digs lately and I am coming to expect it now :(
Click to expand...

You have me all wrong Greg. Ive never had a "dig" at anyone as I really dont care. Its all good by me and opinions are really just that. Obviously I would swap £600 of card for £1600 worth, who wouldnt? For me the comment I just made was valid-24fps is unplayable. Now that its been pointed out that its only the benchmark fair dues. These little digs you seem to think I am having have always been polite and when I am proven wrong I acknowledge it and doff my cap accordingly. I thought I was joining in with humour/playfulness but nevermind. :(
 
Although I've only played for an hour or so, the drops in frame rate are few and far between and only seem to occur when you go through what I'd describe loading points (insert technical term here) into a new area? Early on around the fair area there is the first noticeable one and the frame rate roughly halves. You can run/walk through this loading point in any direction looking anywhere and the frame rate will drop significantly. They aren't at all representative of actual frame rate drops whilst in normal gameplay and the loading points so far don't interfere at all with the game. I would be surprised if it's different on other cards & drivers.

Long story short, the game isn't particularly demanding and the drops in frame rate so far for me aren't constant at all, there for a split second due to what seems like a pre-load of a new area?

7950 is at 1100/1500 now btw.

Anyone can help with this stuff from bottom? ID's my card incorrect where radeonpro etc sees it as a 7950... tombraider does same..

I've turned off depth of field, it doesn't cause stuttering for me but it looks really ugly in my opinion.

Seemed to be getting an odd few drops in really weird places near the beginning of the game like when i went to play games on the stalls and things it would drop down to 30fps from a locked 60fps. I found that setting shadows to "very high" from "ultra" solved this.

Another place is just as you get into the open world area and the shop on the right when approaching the guy on the chair getting his shoes buffed really close it would drop to 30. Seems really bizarre as i can happily sit at a constant 60 when running around the big open world areas with big draw distances etc. As above if you find similar try lowering the shadows one notch.
 
the 314.22 drivers gave me issues in loads of games (WoW, BF3 and some steam games) I had to roll back to 314.21

although it might be my GPU that is the suspect now its fine on all games with the .21 drivers
 
Found this guys after some google so pasted here for you all. Not tried myself yet.
Here it is anyhow ;)
"Wait a minute, the game only has a poolsize of 140MB by default? My god, that would certainly explain why it struggles so much to load textures. And I'll copy/paste it here for ease of access:

Try this. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BioShock Infinite\Engine\Config. Open BaseEngine. Find PoolSize and change the value to 512 or 1024 (Depending on how much Vram your card has). I run a GTX 660ti so im using 1024. Next search for MinSmoothedFrameRate and change it to 62. Right below that is MaxSmoothedFrameRate, change it to 122. Close and save changes. These tweaks gave me a massive performance boost and eliminated hiccups."
 
Just tried the config changes myself to the letter for the min and max smoothed frames but put 3072 for pool size and here are results as run before, option 2 at 1920x1080...

Wierd inconsistency on max.. min are about same as before i tried the changes but avg is massive increase from my first run on page 5. Gone from just around 60fps to over 100! 40fps boost is a good start! Just need someone to suss out the min frames issues now. :)
Anyone any idea of what numbers could be adjusted to for 7950 at above resolution 60hz?

A few tests for the guys on older kit.

All on an i7 920@4Ghz, 6GB Ram and 5870cf at 1920x1200 and Option 2 Benchmark.

Test 1
--------
Standard Config File

82.09 64.23 5.7 369.87 Overall

Test 2
--------
Config File Tweaked as per Badtez post (1024 for Poolsize, Min 62, Max 122). This was noticably more jerky.

82.97 61.01 3.59 254.71 Overall

Test 3
-------

Config file Tweaked by me (512 Poolsize, Min 62, Max 122). Seemed better.

83.26 62.38 2.84 378.98 Overall

Test 4
-------

Custom Detail changed to: No AA, Normal DoF, everything else Ultra (Default config file)

81.59 91.93 13.01 311.97 Overall


Test 5
-------

Custom Detail changed to: No AA, Normal DoF, everything else Ultra (My config file)

81.74 97.38 3.5 432.96 Overall

I have found my settings to be very playable and despite what the Benchmark says there is little to choose between Test 4 and 5! I also ran a bench at low res and detail and it still stutters in the same loading places.

I also moved the game to my SSD and this doesnt make any real impact.

Another one scratching his head at the minimum value, never saw it go anywhere near that low.
 
I'm getting the stuttering here. I don't believe the game is demanding in as such my system IS running the game fine.

But sometimes you sprint to an area or just look anywhere and it hiccups. Pretty annoying.

Some people thought post processing to normal instead of the DX11 option and ultra shadows to very high helps.

You guys all seem to be modding the ini file already?
 
Hi i have played about 2 hours and even though the benchmarks are realy high numbers and in game i can get 120fps capped it drops as low as 20fps which makes the game unsmooth and massively stuttery in places.
I get this on Ultra and i even tried medium but still get massive stutter!
