Hey guys. Bioshock is definately not an indicator of performance from ATI OR nV, when run in Vista. There's a certian bios issues plauging these cards...and I have a sneaking suspicion that AMD themselves aren't even aware yet. Seems nV was tho...

NExt time i wait a bit before buying my cards, and don't buy on release!
That being said tho, i did that wit hthe 8800's too...so few games worked that i returned tehm.
Well, same goes for vista and Crossfire/SLi...neither will work right in Vista until SP1, and the workaround that nV and ATI have been using merely similates performance, but does not render anything onscreen!(if you remember Crossfire first shown on NF4, same thing, rendering "worked", but no picture from second card.).
I had to go back to XP...so i could get use of my second card...jsut irked me to no end that i could not use second card in vista without LOSING performance....i thought an additional card would at least get another 10-15%...
I've restarted playing Biosshock form the beginnning, but this time in XP. It's like a completely different game....both visually, and in performance!
BTW, the new premiere machine from HP Gaming(AKA VoodooPC) features an nVidia 680i motherboard...running Crossfire! and you can bet that that bios issue is fixed, and that Crossfire is better on 680i than any other chipset currently...
I can't stand it...ATI fanboy, about to go buy an nVidia board For a Crossfire system. i think i'll order a Blackbird 002 system and suck the bios out of it too, and offer it up...anyone want it?
