BioShock Infinite Minimum and Recommended PC Requirements Released, Graphic Options Outed

January 15, 2013 by Alex Co

Irrational Games has revealed the minimum and recommend PC specs for BioShock Infinite.

PC fans of BioShock Infinite will now know what kind of power their rigs must have in order to play the game, as Irrational Games has finally revealed the minimum and recommended PC requirements for BioShock Infinite. 

Just in case you need a refresher on how well the game looks, here's the VGA trailer.

Minimum

  • OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 32-bit

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.4 GHz / AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHZ

  • RAM: 2 GB

  • Hard Drive: 20 GB free

  • Video Card: DirectX10 Compatible ATI Radeon 3870 / NVIDIA 8800 GT / Intel HD 3000 Integrated Graphics

  • Video Card Memory: 512 MB

  • Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Recommended

  • OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64-bit

  • Processor: Quad Core Processor

  • RAM: 4 GB

  • Hard Drive: 30 GB free

  • Video Card: DirectX11 Compatible, ATI Radeon 6950 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560

  • Video Card Memory: 1024 MB

  • Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

For PC fans, if that wasn't enough, we now also know the host of graphical options that will be available for you to fiddle with once the game ships.

  • Anti-aliasing

  • Texture detail

  • Dynamic shadows

  • Post-processing quality

  • Light shafts

  • Ambient occlusion

  • Object detail

  • V-sync

  • FOV (a slider, with no listed value)

  • UI margins

  • Toggleable highlighting of “searchable” or “important” objects

  • 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?
