Here are my Bioshock Infinite graphics settings tweaks tips.
I have tried these settings on a medium PC in terms of hardware.
Processor: I3 3000 GHz, 8 GB ram DDR 3, ATI Radeon HD 5670 (1 GB RAM, DDR 3).
If you want the best performance for a computer close to mine, use the following settings:
“Display Mode”: Windowed (Fullscreen).
This is very important, I had double the framerate by switching to Windowed (Fullscreen) than on the normal “Fullscreen” mode.
“Aspect Ratio” and “Screen Resolution” should be left with the default settings.
“Graphic Quality”: Custom.
“Antialiasing”: Off.
“Texture detail”: High.
“Texture Filtering”: High.
“Dynamic Shadows”: Low.
This options consumes a lot of resources.
Is making the difference from running the game smooth or with some delay when you move your target.
Bioshock Infinite graphics advanced settings tweaks
“Postprocessing”: Normal.
If I set it to “Alternate”, the game becomes almost unplayable due to the delay when moving around (low FPS).
“Light Shafts”: On.
I see that there is no way to turn this option off from the graphic options from the game.
To leave it as it is in this case.
“Ambient Occlusion”: Normal.
“Object level of detail”: Normal, High or Ultra.
I didn’t noticed any framerate drops.
“Lock Framerate”: On.
The game feels weird if you leave this option turned off.
To conclude, the biggest resource consumers are: “Dynamic Shadows”, “Postprocessing” and setting the game to “Windowed (Fullscreen)”. The display mode could be different for me because I have two monitors and one is staying on, showing the desktop even when the game runs.
How is the game working for you?
