Bad performance.

[Eylisium]

I barely get a stable 60FPS running at 1080p max "settings"

I have a GTX 980ti and 4770K this SHOULD NOT be happening, considering the visual upgrade is negligible.

Anyone else having performance issues?

Biohsock 1 "remaster" runs perfectly fine so i don't see why thhis wouldn't.

As much as i love 2K WHY ON EARTH have we still be left with bugs which plagued the originals?

running fine on windows 10, vsync kills the fps though when its on.

Getting over 100fps @1080p, and my specs are a lot lower than yours...must be an issue on your side.

[Mefraz]

it can not even fully utilize my video card, in 1080p in runs on 700mhz despite overclock override in Afterburner. I get 40-60 fps both in 1080p and 4k. kinda dissapointed, the original looks better in 4k, and runs smoothly. 970, 4770, 16 ram.

I know this is an unhelpful contribution but... I'm not seeing any performance problems! Smooth fps, high graphic settings (well, as much as we get graphics settings!!) and I'm not experiencing any issues. Running a 7970 (which I think is much older than your 980Ti)

I've had one crash to desktop so far but no other problems.

Keep an eye on the forums. For sure, you aren't going to be the only person having problems. Don't rule out your system---it could easily be something interferring or an out of date driver. Equally, just because people say 'oh I'm fine must be your system', don't rule out the game! It could still be something weird the game is doing that only effects some systems/hardware!

Could it be that bs is using the integrated graphics instead of the gtx?

[Master_Skywalker]

I just uninstalled it and installed the original Bioshock 2. Looks and plays so much better!

[miklkit]

I just started playing BS2 today and it runs fine at 140 fps or so with a 290X. So far it looks and plays like the original except that there are no crashes so far. The original is hard to play with constant crashes on my system.

Same must be your end.

[Neptonic]

I'm getting real inconsistant performance, ranging from 72 to 32 FPS. Changing any of the "settings", including resolution, doesn't seem to improve or worsen the FPS. I was standing in the same location with 900p, 1080p, and 1440p and got the same 37 FPS each time.
I have a GTX 960, an i5-4950 3.3 ghz, and 16 GB of RAM, and the old version of Bioshock 2 ran fine, other than the occasional crashes. Is there something in the .ini I can change to fix this or something?

Go into Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Add Bioshock2.exe

Under the Program Settings tab for Bioshock 2, select "off" for Ambient Occlusion.

Now you will have constant 60/120 fps.

Because todays video settings differ from those 9 years ago. There was never ambient occlusion in the old version nor in the remaster, hence it makes trouble when turned on by the gpu control panel. Easy as that. Learn how to operate a computer, numbnuts.

i remember AO even in the first Bioshock. And that still does not make me understand the lack of settings, cuz the originals with all settings available are still working, not to mention bunch of other old games and hd remasters on GOG.com. AND this is a kind of new release, specificly created for new generation of consoles/pc-os. i am not one of these guys who will write a negative review based on that but the whole point of the remastered version is to run without any problems on new hardware.

[Skankhunt42]

For 2007's standards those settings were meant to be turned down to enable playing on a 2007 lower-end machine. So they were abolished for the remaster. Why would you want that on a modern computer? Makes no sense at all. To fiddle with the graphics setting, go to the AMD/nVidia control panel. It is possible to make wider ranging adjustments there.
For low settings just use the original version.
