Bioshock Demo

well erm, short to say the least, however i was running it at a very pleasant resolution (cant remember which but it was widescreen) and with fraps i was getting 97FPS (DX9 of course).

I think it looks smashing, especially the water effects and the beginning with the plane looks sweet.

All in all, well done my little X1900XT512 - yes indeed you are overclocked, but you are yet to let the side down.

Im surprised so many other users have not been able to get good speeds with similar cards?! :confused:

Beware, as I posted in the official thread, the demo comes with securom, which is classed as a rootkit by microsoft's rootkit revealer.

Did this really need to be another thread?

May I ask while I popped in for a moan... what is a rootkit? Or should I just google it

if you dont know, you should google/wiki it.

Google for "securom rootkit" for yet more info.

I posted on this thread as this is specific for the DEMO, rather than the actual game, as this issue in the DEMO might be useful to those thinking of trying the demo prior to purchase.

If it bothers you that much, why post in it, bumping it up the list??

Well there are 6 mentions of Bioshock in thread titles on the front page alone...

Never see the problem myself. Just dont read them if its so offensive. These "official" threads get too long, padded out with little gpu wars etc, so the smaller threads about one topic of a game/subject are handy. Just my opinion, of course.
