Forum Overview :: BioShock :: Here is how much better it looks with DX10 Surface details enabled:

[quote name="Motherhead"]Marginally! A few random obersavations:<ul> <li>Fire has more shades of fire.</li> <li>Some surface textures benefit greatly, others start looking like plastic; e.g: The whale is made of plastic.</li> <li>The shadow and lighting effects on Big Daddies make them look fucking awesome, someone put some love into those. </li> <li>The "amazing water effects" that look great in the demo look a little better, the "amazing water effects" that looked retarded in the demo still look retarded. </ul> Conclusions: You aren't missing much without DX10. If the major sites don't already have A/B comparisons everywhere by the end of the week, I'll take some screenshots. I'll be playing it on XP for the better performance. [/quote]
