Being optimized as a "Meant To Be Played" game, it naturally scales very well with Nvidia card. We can expect even better performance from the GT200 cards with the newly released Forceware drivers.

GTX280 does a pretty decent job on two card SLI, while the CrossFireX is caught in between SLI & Tri-SLI. Again, we can expect performance boost with the introduction of new drivers from both sides.

Anti-alising & anisotropic filtering isn't turned on for Bioshock as it will cause problems to some shadowing & DX10 effects.
