BioShock Infinite PC features & requirements detailed
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 15, 2013 8:40am PSTWith BioShock Infinite's March 26 launch drawing closer, developer Irrational Games has detailed the PC edition's wide range of graphics and control options, along with its system requirements. The BioShock series has suffered from issues like wonky widescreen and missing controller support on PC before, but on paper it sounds like things are shaping up nicely for Infinite.
BioShock Infinite technical director Chris Kline reveals it all in a blog post.
The PC edition will come with high-resolution textures, which pushes the game to three DVDs, and let you mess with important options like field of view, as well as the usual custom graphics configuration options. If you have the hardware, it can tap DirectX 11 for features like "contact-hardening dynamic shadows, diffusion depth of field, high definition ambient occlusion and optimized antialiasing," and jazz up more mundane effects too. Multi-monitor play is also supported, for the obscenely wealthy.
Control-wise, you can turn off mouse acceleration and rebind whatever you please, and Infinite packs an almost infinite number of joypad presets and options.
Ladies and gentlemen, your system requirements:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 32-bit
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / AMD Athlon X2 2.7 GHz
- Memory: 2 GB

I got my i72600k about 18 months ago or so and nothing seems worth upgrading to yet - it's still classed as a very fast CPU.
I got my 5850 GPU like a full 2.5 years ago or something and still there's nothing which is significantly faster (at a reasonable price) - my PC pretty much runs everything I throw at it :/
I guess as a hobbyist, I just don't see a need to worry about my specs as I've always got something half decent but more interestingly is it's not even expensive anymore - (as I say, those parts are near 2 years old)
