Hello so my new card didnt come yet so i wanted to olay bioshock. I buyed the game and my old gpu has shader 2.0 radeon 9550. I downloaded patch for 2.0 shaders but still i cant see anything only fire. Pls help

I don't think Bioshock will run on a 9550. What's it have? 256MB RAM at the most? I think most of Bioshock's textures are larger than that. That card is an antique.

 

Edit. I'm probably thinking Infinite. Is this original Bioshock you're trying to run? Try different drivers. Nothing new will work for that card, but you can probably get some tweaked legacy drivers from somewhere like Guru3D. Are you running on XP?

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

^This. That thing was released over a decade ago. Send it to a technology museum or throw it in the trash.

Technically Bioshock 1 should work and did work on this.

But now I don't think AMD still tests 10 year old GPUs on modern OS and drivers. So if there are issues the problem is that AMD probably doesn't have people working on it, they probably don't even know about it and you are on your own.
