Bioshock Infinite performance

[rankftw]

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.

Nice fps rank.

Is the game very demanding? What's single card performance like? Also what res did you use?

I havn't tried a single card as I reckon it would struggle a bit since I'm at 1440p. The most demanding thing seems to be DDOF but I couldn't notice a difference in visuals with it on or off. I've turned my VPN off atm so will have to wait for midnight before I run the benchmark again.

What is the VRAM usage like with everything on please someone? I don't have it YET, so can't test

With everything on max I used 2034 vram at 1440p.

For anyone who didn't know to unlock the "true" hard mode of this game enter the Konami code on the main menu: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A on the xbox pad. 1999 Mode here I come.

I've played a bit of the first level and other than a couple of random dips the fps seems pretty good and the gfx are great.

Very weird. I just run it again with 130 on the core and 200 on the memory and got these results. SLI not working properly I assume.

I've had no problem with SLI on Bioshock, both cards getting used the same % at all times.

Minfps is so low its beyond playable for such set up.

I'm currently 9 hours into the game and the lowest my fps has gone is 45 for a split second, the benchmark tool is pretty inaccurate so people shouldn't base the games performance off its results.

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

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
