bioshock

 

 

Bioshock... um... yeah... what can I say about this game?  When it first came out I spent a plethora of hours trying to find a way to get it to work on my Radeom x800 XT.  Now of course most people that play this game know what I'm talking about.  This game requires Shader Model 3.0, otherwise known of SM 3.0.  x800 users were denied access to this game because the x800 only supported SM 2.0.  The nViDIA card that competed against the x800 did support SM 3.0 so those who went nViDIA were able to play Bioshock.  Those users laughed at us Radeon users until a couple users recompiled the shaders file to play on 2.0 cards.  This is a shout out to this blog and those that contributed to coding the game to play on 2.0 cards.  The blog can be found here.
