its not sloppy coding.... thats how pc gaming works. Different software/hardware combinations will decide how the game runs. Try some older drivers, and also try the new optimized for bioshock drivers. Pretty much everything is related to drivers, really. Also, maybe you had some sound features turned on that your computer doesnt support, like eax sound and reverb, i suggest set both off.

Largely the main difference is quite subtle, for example in DX10, water dynamically ripples as an enemy walks through it, also the shadows look better in DX10, otherwise you aren't missing much

Global Lighting is a much more inaccurate means of doing dynamic lighting, turn it on if you need the fps.

haha i actually felt like my fps was higher when it was off...hmmm, is there any video out there that shows the differences between on and off?

i would also like to see some screenshots, but im more interested into what is "force global lighting". Im not sure if they are talking about global illumination... and i cant really see any difference in fps and IQ...
