An Irrational developer told me that Infinite is running on DirectX 10, but that it does take advantage of some DX11 features.

According to the report, Infinite ran "perfectly" on their demo PCs, which were using AMD FX-8120 ((an octo-core CPU) and a single card in the AMD Radeon 7900 series — thought they didn't have time to verify which one — with 16GB of RAM on Windows 7. They state that there was no texture pop-in, crashes, hiccups or even frame rate dips. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll experience the same stability once you install the game on your PC. But it does look like Irrational is taking care of their oft-forsaken PC gaming fans.

In non-technical BioShock Infinite news, Irrational has revealed the alternate box art for the game that fans voted for last month.

So, which version of BioShock Infinite will you be getting once the game hits retail on March 26 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC?
