Looks like this is one of the few games that could use a card with more than 2GB at 1080P

My usage is the same at 1440p. From what I remember reading it is like BF3 and uses as much as you have.

I was having random CTD's in this game, and read that overclocks on your graphics card may be the cause. Set my card at default and it cured the crashes. Reminds me of the first Unreal engine which objected to CPU overclocks, if memory serves me.

Also has used the most vRam (2041MB) for me at 1080P of any game I've played yet.

Running out of memory at 2560x1600 on ultra, turn it to very high and it's fine.

Anyone play this game with a AMD 6950 2Gb? Wondering what the best graphics settings to use?

That could put the cat amongst the pigeons.

For best playability, I find that i've had to set shadows to very high and ambient occlusion to normal, everything else is ultra. (This is on a 6950 with the extra shaders running at 1920x1200 oc'd to 960/1500) Ambient occlusion seems to have the biggest impact on performance.

Not necessarily, just because it's using 2gb doesn't mean performance would deteriorate if your card had less than 2gb (GPUs will cache all textures and geometry data even if they won't use it again in the future).

Anyone using a GB WF3 7970 @ max settings with DOF and able to report max temps your seeing?
Only ask as i get around 68-70c which is by far the highest i've seen on my card.
One other thing i've noticed is that my cards crashes with any sort of overclock on this so i'm running at stock for now, still getting around 80fps average though so can't complain.
Fantastic game so far!

I increased the pool size to 1200 and it has helped a fair bit actually. still get stuttering where I wouldn't expect any in a game of this graphical quality.

Usage hovers at around 2GB on my Titan @1600p, no matter what I do with the ini files.

My game kept crashing to desktop till I worked out it was the GPU memory overclock. Put that down to default and it works. Every other game is perfectly stable with +600 but not this it seems.

Thanks for that! Will try those settings. Wondering if over clocking my 6950 will help that much?

Another performance thread for us to compare the all important fps that we get

The game comes with a built in benchmark tool that is rather good, it exports all the stats so they can be read in Excel and is quite detailed.

Nvidia have just released new 314.22 drivers optimised for Bioshock Infinite that give quite a performance boost so any Nvidia users out there should pick those up immediately.

314.21

Average fps: 69.88
Min fps: 7.65
Max fps: 271.09


314.22

Average fps: 96.04
Min fps: 19.73
Max fps: 283.41

@ 1440p with max settings and DDOF.


314.22 driver here.

Here are my results with 2 PowerColor 7870 LE (tahiti) in crossfire OC to 1212/1500:

Average fps: 108
Min fps: 49
Max fps: 156
@1920x1080 max settings and DDOF

i5 2500k @ 4.2Ghz
Asus Sabertooth Z77
PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 LE (Tahiti) @ 1212mhz core 1500mhz mem
Antec HCP-750 PSU
2x4Gb Corsair Dominator GT @ 2133mhz overclocked using X.M.P
Crucial C300 128GB SSD
Hyper 212+

Bioshock Infinite benchmark

Just did another Bioshock Infinite benchmark and realize I made a mistake in my previous post. Min and Max fps were wrong. 2x7870 tahiti @1212/1500

average fps: 108.72
min fps: 25.88
max fps: 383.52

Need some help asap guys with this if i could,
Being playing for a bit now and everything's been going good, no problem i did have was as mentioned i've had to put my card back to stock due to constant crashes with the game when overclocked.
Anyway, just came back from a lovely family dinner and fired up bioshock only to be greeted by an "Out of range" error being displayed on my monitor, The game is running as i can hear the music playing but can't see a damn thing.
First thing i did was verify steam cache which came back good, then checked config folder and had a look at the res set in game but that was fine (1920-1080)
Ran the benchmark and unless i choose the select a custom res the same thing happens (out of range)
Strange thing is if pick 1080-1920 the benchmark runs fine, only if i pick User settings do i get the error.
Any help would be great as i'm really enjoying the game thus far.
Cheers
davy.

Try going to C:\My Documents\My Games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config and opening XUserOptions.

Search for:

ResolutionX=
ResolutionY=

Now set these to your resolution and see if it works then.

Example:

ResolutionX=2560
ResolutionY=1440

Will take a look thanks rank.
Edit- well it appears that was the issue thanks rank!
for some reason it was set @1280-720
