That's very good news for people with 850xt in line of performance.

link?

Isn't the problem that SM 3.0 is required to play? Why would someone with a SM 2 card need to download it?

Okay, found what his criptic message referred to.

"This mod alters BioShock to support Shader Model 2.0 for older graphics cards."

some in the forums say that their 800/850 cards are capable of running bioshock and do not want to upgrade at the moment

Your post was confusing. Those with SM 2.0 could not play a SM 3.0 game.
The link is for a mod that allows it, not a SM 2.0 download.

sorry for the confusion not intended

No problem. Thanks for the heads up. Those with older cards will love you.
