Running in 4K thoughts

[Deez Nuts]

I just recently got a 4K screen and I run a 980Ti but this is one of the few games I was able to set max in-game settings and get steady 60FPS. Really seems kind of odd to be honest. Was expecting 30FPS. Are there any extra video options that can be enabled?

Its a Remaster
Remasters while generally having some what higher requirements compared to an Original doesnt mean you'll need 5x the power to max it out.

True but it is a completely new graphics engine. I was actually expecting it to chug along a bit. Even Arkham Asylum @ 4K dips below 50fps quite often.

Wasnt Arkham a title that had HELLA upon HELLA issues at one point or another anyway?
Comparing that to this isnt exactly fair now is it?

Plus, Arkham uses PhysX which lowers performance some what, Bioshock doesnt, or atleast not to such a large extent.

It's a game running on unreal 2.5 why the ♥♥♥♥ would you think it would perform that poorly on your rig? It isn't a completely new graphics engine at all which is why all the bugs they never fixed can be fixed by the exact same tweaks used on the original, and why it looks mildly better in some areas and worse in others since they didn't upgrade really at all.

You could probably downscale from 8k and still get 60fps.

I just posted this as a discussion.

You can use SweetFX to enhance the textures.

Use some SweetFX for better texture quality
Here is SweetFX: https://sfx.thelazy.net/downloads/
download the latest version

Here are the settings to use: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3511/

There is a little guide in there fot arranging these settings. It is really simple.

This takes off a white haze that is over everything and adds detail to the textures that was covered up as a result.

Not sure you linked the correct settings. Those were for GTA5. This is Bioshock Remastered https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/game/1468/

not sure what you were thinking this game would get only 30 fps at 4k for. even Arkham Knight gets in the 40s at 4k without the two Nvidia settings and that game is on a whole other level of graphics.

DSR works fine here in both of the remastered Bioshocks.

[Deez Nuts]

DSR?

are you seriously asking what DSR is? how the hell could anyone that keeps up pc gaming and has a high end system not know what that is? not to mention its pretty stupid to ask what something is when a 1 second google search would tell you.

Love all these people telling you to download mods when the settings aren't even the highest they can go. Edit the game file manually, find the shadows and textures code, changed from "medium" to "high".

Enjoy.
