Bioshock Infinite

First BioShock Infinite DLC Released along with Burial at Sea Trailer

Bioshock: Infinite is a first-person shooter, developed by Irrational Games. Released in March, 2013 it uses a modified Unreal 3 engine. The developers included a nice little built-in benchmark system which makes it a prime candidate for an apples to apples comparison. When starting up the benchmark, we will be using option 3, the Ultra DirectX 11 settings.
