New AMD drivers are out for the game apparently going by the Steam AK news page. VPN worked and game is unlocked, now to see how it runs on my 970...
What performance are you getting without SLI? Your numbers already sound like SLI is disabled.
Thought so
I have 280X and I'm not experiencing any problems with the 15.6 drivers. Just the game being capped to 30fps.

Windowed (No Border) doesn't seem to be working on my 2048x1152 display. The game fills up the width of the screen, but not the full height. Part of the bottom of my desktop remains visible.

alright, idk whats going on anymore. I turned off all NVidia stuff and put everything on low, I am still getting occasional frame rate drops to single digits on my 970, i5-3350p, 1080p
So right now i have 30gb used on disc and still 14gb to go. That would be 44gb total. But maybe someone who has downloaded everything can check the total disc usage ?

Ok so we've had 2x 280x users and 1x 280 user report terrible min framerates and poor perfromance.
It seems like the new Beta drivers may have improved things on 290/290x but not on older AMD cards.
Please test faster, guinea pigs.
Edit: And now one 280x user saying its fine for him.

Yep, I have the same thing. Flying around the city I am going back and forth between 60 and about 28 when streaming is occurring. This sucks. I've now got all game works off too and it hasn't improved at all.

Running everything but Nvidia stuff maxed (or as maxed as the very limited settings allow) on i5/980. Steady 60fps i am pleased.
Although looking at this BMSystemSetting i am amazed at what the "menu maxed" stuff is and will be tinkering with that stuff later and hopefully figure out what the grain option is because eww.

Not the least bit surprised. They've done this before; Working on R9 290/290x and giving the older cards the shaft.

I have a gtx 970 and my framerate is all over the place. It can't hold 60 at all. Is my card already outdated?

Anyone got word on a 4GB 770? Was hoping for a locked 60 on high settings and no Gameworks. Some of you are now saying not to trust the benchmark the game is a stuttery mess when moving around the city.

If people could also clarify whether they're using the benchmark or in-game performance when talking about single digit drops that would also be helpful.
Given the complaints in this thread, pretty much everyone is getting the shaft
i5-4690k
GTX 980
8GB RAM
1080p
Benchmark gives me an average of 60, but I get absolutely awful stuttering from driving/flying. Echoing the streaming sentiments -- something's off from how it streams in the environment. Hope it gets fixed... Witcher 3 at 60 gave me some false hope

Any way to disable the intros?
Well first impressions of this are terrible. The 30fps would be forgivable if the constant stuttering weren't so jarring. I've found that as is usually the case, locking the FPS using Riva and enabling V-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel gives far better results.
It's worth noting that for some reason, I had to turn 'Application Detection Level' up to High in order to get the Riva OSD working but once I did, oh boy did it paint a horrible picture. Sticking with the default 30fps, GPU usage never goes above 30%, CPU is just chilling too yet the stuttering and general jankyness is almost unbearable.
I tried setting MaxFPS=60 in BaseSystemSettings.ini and while much smoother, the game can barely maintain 60fps for a few seconds even though again, Riva shows CPU and GPU usage to be very low. Not impressed! This game has some serious, serious world streaming issues.
Specs:
i7 3770k @ 4.3GHz
GTX 980 @ 1430MHz
16GB DDR3
1080p, all GameWorks shit off

The official list of people getting the shaft:
- Anybody using SLI / XFire
- Most people running 280x/280/7900 series cards
- One random guy's 970
- People who don't know what an .ini file is
1080p/fullscreen/vsync off?
Have you jumped in the batmobile yet? I was getting single digit frames in that.

in game
mostly while driving the batmobile, but happened a couple times while gliding as well

Is it possible the garbage DRM has anything to do with the stuttering?
Thanks for this. Re-enabling SLI and trying this. Hopefully it fixes it.
Edit: Oh man god bless. Edited the ini to 120 and it glorious now.

Is this game coming to Mobile? A bunch of ipad references in the settings
Welp, Android/iOS port (semi) confirmed.
no idea, but i was using ds4windows wired and i noticed my light turned red (i have it set to blue). that was weird. i slowly noticed it had ps4 button prompts and turned off ds4windows.
does 21:9 seem stretched to you? ingame that is

Navigate to Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Movies
Rename or delete StartupMovie and StartupMovieNV
No more intro movies.
Could be second screen stuff perhaps? Is there a mobile app?

DLC.
Unplayable mess with constant stuttering on my FX-8320/R9 280 on normal settings.
Don't use crossfire.
A lot of DLC skins.

How to disable startup videos:
go to Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\Movies and rename the extension for StartupMovie.swf and StartupMovieNV.swf
After that you load straight into the main menu
