I installed bioshock recently and I was surprised that the game was so slow. I have a Dell Optiplex 755 it has Windows Vista Home Basic 2GB of RAM nvidia geforce 8500gt 1GB Intel core 2 duo 2.66ghz processor The game was so jerky on the high graphics settings but even after disabling them the game was barely playable. I also tried the "can you run it" test on this page http://www.nzone.com/content/nzone/srl/nzone_srl.asp and my computer passed the recommended requirements. Please tell me what is causing the problem.
No my pc isnt overclocked. I forgot to mention that my monitor is a very old LG. It is one of those cathode ray tube ones. Could that be the problem? thanks
Check the refresh rate of your monitor, check if your putting some setting which your monitor cant take. Try setting everything om low and increase each aspect and check how the game plays, u could find out the real potential of your GC. Press Ctr+Alt+Del, and check how much Ram is being used when on the desktop. This could even happen if you have virus.
