Nah it really is easy to notice, I should've taken better shots where AA was more noticeable, I will in a bit.

Here we go, the AA is 100% easy to spot;

Screen 4 - AA
Screen 4 - No AA

Dx10 = NoAA, Dx9 = AA

Nice, so er how did u get it workin. Apart from just using supersampling, cos im on ati and all i have is aa or aaa.

This way;

To get AA working on nVidia cards right click a shortcut to BioShock go to properties and at the end of the "target" field type in the following: "-dx9"

This forces the game to run in Dx9 and enables the use of AA when forced, I couldn't get AA to work by disabling Dx10 via in-game this was the only way.

When you've done this go to the nVidia control panel or nHancer, select BioShock and override the AA settings to whatever you like.

Just so you know I've tried it with standard 16xAA and it works, though it looks a tiny bit worse than 4xSupersampling.

What settings are you guys using with the BIOSHOCK FOV Hack at 1920x1200 ???

Anyone else having problems with the sound? I'm not hearing some of the voices.

Yep.

I think the game runs out of channels or something for some people.

The same as for any other 16:10 ratio monitor - 0.833 or 0.84 seems to suit most people

Am having problems as well with Vsync on this game with my 8800gtx,,,Shows up really bad on dell 24" monitors.. (this is with the bioshock demo)

Played the demo and ok here on gts8800 with forced vsync on and no tearing so must have been working.

also using recomended beta drivers.

cheers.

In the graphics options, I turn up the brightness a little bit. But when I exit the game to windows, everything is brighter than it should be. Any idea why windows stays brighter after leaving the game? Only way to get back to normal in windows is to reboot.

I keep turning off V-Sync before I play, Accept the setting then have a game which is perfect. Quit BioShock load it up again and V-Syncs on again!?

It keeps turning it self back on. Anyone else getting this?
