Beta Hack Brings BioShock to Shader Model 2 Cards
Anyone with an ATI X8x0 series card is pretty angry at the fact that their card cannot handle a game that an X1300 can. Fortunately for gamers that still have a Shader Model 2 card, hackers are working day and night to bring BioShock to said cards. Instead of buying a SM3 or SM4 card that would cost at least $60, old-school gamers can now apply a hack. You can download and read into this hack here. However, while this is all well and good for people with hearty graphics cards, such as the previously mentioned X8x0 series, people still running the Radeon 9x00 series and the NVIDIA GeForce FX series will probably suffer quite low framerates.
Keep in mind that this is still a beta.

I love the game, pretty sweet indeed
better coded ?
i cant wait till i get a chance to DL the demo it on tpu yet?
the game makers forget that 1-2 years old high-end cards still have the power to run almost all new games except dx10 ones but i'm sure all dx10 games will be convinced to run on dx9.
btw great improvements as i seen :bioshocksm2.blogspot.com/
nice job & thanks !:toast:
This is great news for people with x800/850 cards....just hope they get it to work well.
