When real FPS differs

  • CPU. In BioShock® 2 a weak CPU limits FPS regardless of the graphics card — especially at 1080p.
  • Graphics settings. The table is for High settings. Dropping to Medium raises FPS by 20–40%.
  • Upscaling. DLSS/FSR/XeSS raise FPS by 30–70% with minimal quality loss.
  • Game version. Patches and engine updates change performance.

BioShock® 2 FPS: frequently asked questions

How many FPS does the RTX 3060 get in BioShock® 2?
The RTX 3060 runs BioShock® 2 at 120–200 FPS at 1080p High and 75–125 FPS at 1440p. Number source: FPSHQ model calibrated on real measurements of this game and/or graphics card.
Which graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in BioShock® 2?
For 60+ FPS at 1080p High, GeForce RTX 3060 is enough (120–200 FPS) — the most affordable card in the table with that result.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in BioShock® 2?
For 144+ FPS at 1080p High you need at least NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 (120–200 FPS); on weaker cards, Medium settings and DLSS/FSR help.
Why is my FPS lower than in the table?
Real FPS depends on the CPU (especially in BioShock® 2), the game and driver versions, background apps and graphics settings. The table shows the graphics card without a CPU limit (as on test benches); the FPS calculator accounts for your CPU.
