					| There's a SM2.0 patch for Bioshock as well if I'm not mistaken.

  There are, when using the SM2.0 hack, because shaders have to be cached each time there's a loading. |  |

 I never had loading times above 5 min or so and my pc is bad (3500+ 1GB GF6800GT). Must admit that i have not finished the game yet but i was very far in the game.

 Yes, SM3.0 only, though as stated previously, you can play BioShock via a hack.

					| I think Snop was being a smart ass lol.
 Btw last I heard about the 2.0 hack for Bioshock it's buggy as hell and a lot of missing textures, unless they got it fixed?
 
 I believe most games before Splinter Cell: Double agent were SM2.0 compatible. UBI was the one that started the trend.

 It's better now, look OK (considering it's an amateur show of force), but there are some issues that can't really be fixed. I wonder why 2K doesn't just hire those dudes on provisional basis and provide them the tools to make it good. All they need is the shader precaching tools.

 No, technology did.
