colsoop Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have been playing the demo for this game and i have to say i am impressed it has some very neat tocuhes and is certainly a unique take on the old fps. Does anyone have the full game yet ? I see you can get it on steam, recommeded specs are quite high but it ran well on my medium spec rig: 7950 gt dual core 6400 3 gb ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I got the demo installed but not had chance to play it yet. It looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 your medium spec pc sounds pretty beefy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Darn it, I knew there was something I had to go and do today! I'll down load the demo for now Apparently this one is a bugger to 'crack', the installation needs online verification to finish it (like HL2). Looks like I need a new PC for it (may as well get ready for Crysis!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see the spec of some of the guys on here, i think Daston runs 2 8800 gt's in SLI ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I can't control the bank holidays Rob, even if i am working on them the chromer isn't Tsk, carry on gaming then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 spent the whole evening on it with the settings cranked to the max and DX10 turned on I manage an average frame rate of 78fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I already wizzed through the demo which is quite short considering the size of the demo and time it takes to DL it. Good game, nice graphics. Runs sweet as a nut on my system. Speaking of systems, I have now upgraded mine with a custom watercooling set-up, cooling the CPU and GFX. Now running a 2.4ghz (E6600) at 3.8Ghz and the GFX (Norm 600/1800) at 675/1848 13,160 3DMark06 Done on XP http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2827076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Damn it Gamer I am now going to have to play with my voltages! Managed to get my FX-62 up to 3.5ghz from 2.8 when I get my Danger den water block and pump I think I can get that up to around the 3.8-4.0 mark. Whats the best way of doing your gfx cards? Any idea if the 8800's are safe to OC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyknox Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I pre-ordered this from Play.com and it arrived on Thursday (day before release) It's awesome...best game like this in a long long time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if the 8800's are safe to OC? I am using a Swiftech Apogee GTX (slightly bowed) on the CPU and an EK8800GTX full cover block on the Graphics card. The 8800 is easily overclockable with a good block. EK blocks http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/index.php?cPath=84&osCsid=e48227b3141179c076effc5f47dbd572 My cooling loop consists of the following: Apogee GTX > EK8800GTX > Swifteck Micro Res > D5 laing Pump > Thermochill PA120.3 Radiator All housed in it's own external case that sits above my system. (apart from the blocks of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thats a nice set up. I am currently running a Kandalf tower. Its a bit of a squeeze with 2 8800's but I am going to give it an overhaul next month Going to put the resevior into a floppy disk bay and make a braket up for the pump so that can sit up on a CD bay. I was thinking of getting 2 pumps and reseviors 1 for my CPU and 1 for the gfx cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting 2 pumps and reseviors 1 for my CPU and 1 for the gfx cards Probably a good idea to have two separate loops as you say, considering the amount of heat put out by the 88's and your CPU, assuming that you are using a small radiator. Saying that though the Thermochill pa 120.3 rad would be sufficient to cool both your cards and the CPU on the same loop. The only problem with it is finding the space as it is quite large. You can mount it on the back of the case or even on the top or do as I have done and use an external case to house all the bits. Just for your info the EK blocks can easily be used in an SLI config.

colsoop Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I knew you too would be along (gamer and Daston)to have your peeing contest I downloaded the full game off Steam yesterday and so far it is a really good game, i am impressed with it. I haven't met any big daddies yet but i have gained the telekenesis power which is kind of like the gravity gun in half life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The game seems to have some widescreen issues. http://kotaku.com/gaming/widescreen/bioshocks-widescreen-pissing-people-off-291697.php http://kotaku.com/gaming/hack/hack-for-bioshock-widescreen-issue-292432.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I've got the game!! woot arrived yesterday - haven't got time to play it Hope my system copes....shouldn't be too much more taxing than STALKER...I also bought Civ IV and Supreme Commander in my once a year treat myself to some games blitz...no time to play any of them though...the boss keeps finding jobs for me to do round the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm amazed how well it runs on my O/C Dual Core at 3.0 with single 8800 GTS card. That graphics engine is fantastic... now if only the sound worked.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 aye it runs real well bring on Far cry 2 and Crysis they will be the big test. I will have a look into that gamer. My Rad covers the whole front of my PC and has 3 120mm fans on her so nice and cool not sure effect the rad is mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
