Here. You can get high framerates, *but* there are massive, weird framerate drops when flying and driving the batmobile. Very irritating, to the point that I prefer waiting for a patch. Not fun at all right now.

The last high profile example is probably Unity. But the AAA games that I have played this year (Dying Light, The Witcher 3) were very well optimized on PC. But it never hurts to be cautious and to avoid pre-ordering.

Look at the witcher 3 on ps4 STILL suffering from frate rate issues. If you think consoles are much better, your kidding yourself.
This is a big reminder to all if us to STOP FUCKING PREORDERING. Myself included. Im done with that shit.
Rocksteady better get on this quick.

Glad it's working flawlessly for me. Feels good after all the problems I had with Witcher at launch.
It's an extremely bizarre choice on the developers part. Especially considering this has been marketed as a bit of a PC showpiece title with Nvidia Gameworks etc.
Yeah it's disgusting to play it. And that's with SLI disabled...you should see it with it on.
eh...you win some and you lose some with PC gaming. This seems kinda bad but I wouldn't consider it the norm. It felt like the last bad PC release was Mortal Kombat...also ironically published by WB.
On the other side you have games like the Witcher 3 that are a mess performance-wise on consoles but played great on capable PC's.
Im still waiting for the game to unlock...but reading this thread is a bit disheartening.

30 minutes to go. -____-

Why are you assuming the console versions are gonna run well? At least on PC it will eventually get patched and you have a chance at 60 fps lol.
Thanks guys for that vid link.
And yea... Dissapointed in my experience with my new rig so far. Nothing but trouble (nvidia drivers, now this).
Hopefully things will get cleared up soon. I can't imagine rocksteady leaving things like this for long.
Do you guys get patches on only tuesdays too? Or can devs release patches anyday @ anytime they want? I'd hate to have to wait a week for a patch to a brand new game. I know it doesnt have to go through certification, right?

PS4 version is a rocksteady 30fps. This is old news.

I'm going to wait a week so that this game get patched adequately before playing. I'm learning not to play PC games on launch.
Well this thread sure did give me anticipation whiplash.
Now I'm just looking forward to the train wreck unlocking and maybe locking it to 30 and downsampling and turning on all the extraneous stuff.
Because apparently it sure as heck isn't hitting 60 reliably.

On pc they can release updates whenever they want. Pc usually gets patches before consoles, but it depends on the devs.
Digital Foundry had a go with the PS4 version and they said the majority is 30fps rock....steady. That can't be said for the PC port. I see people in this thread with 980s and whatnot and they still experience these massive frame-drops.

Patches come whenever on PC.
Even if that's the case, it's still 30 fps. No thanks.
We can also get 30 fps if we run on ps4 settings. We don't want to.
Also we are already doing better than that. Im running at 1440p 58 avg fps. The issue is stuttering when nvidia effects are on abd drops to 40s on occasion.

Running this on my Alienware i3 alpha machine(8GB)
Settings:
Everything on normal, all gameworks effects OFF, AA ON VSYNC OFF
Initial run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgC-iBpCIeA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuyBLyjeIys
The game suffers from having limited graphics options to deal with. I have downloaded the latest 860m drivers and have a somewhat steady 30fps. I feel like with everything @ normal and at least only the rain gameworks effects ON, the game should run fine. Hoping that some custom drivers get released to get more out of this pretty game!
PS. You guys think putting this on my SSD would help?

This is what I'm worried about, I really cannot stand not having a consistent 60fps and if this runs like crap from what I'm reading then I will have a hard time enjoying it. I always adjust my settings for 60 and apparently some are having trouble still even at low settings wtf
I guess I can't complain since I got this and witcher 3 free but still... ugh.No point in getting the PS4 version unless your PC isn't capable of delivering a steady 30fps.
In my experience, the problem arises when trying to go above the default, and likely "intended" 30fps limit. I ran it for a while with 1/2 refresh vsync + maximum pre-rendered frames=1 + RTTS cap, and it didn't drop below 29.9fps once, not even during the Batmobile sequences. There were absolutely no hitches to speak of, at all. So, before spending another $60 on a console version of AK, make sure you aren't able to achieve the "console experience" on PC.
The PC port is perfectly capable of a "rock steady" 30fps, and still is the best version of the game if your hardware can handle 30fps/1080p+. ;-)
Seriously guys? I'm right there with you ffs, my 980 is weeping at not being able to run this at 60fps when it unlocks in 15 minutes.
My response was to the assumption "the console versions won't perform well". I realize we're all PC gamers here but a solid 30fps on consoles is the very definition of performing well. On consoles.
There's also "no point" in having a 980 either than by that logic. Since you cant consistently go over 30fps. Waste of power.No point in getting the PS4 version unless your PC isn't capable of delivering a steady 30fps.
Wow, im salty.

Yeah, at the risk of sounding like a snooty PC person, 60fps is why I'm here :-/
You do know that this shit happens majority of times for AAA games? Wait for a week or so to get better drivers/patches.
Apologies. That was probably my fault. Tbh, im really just sort of bummed about this whole thing.
I was excited to finally flex my 980.

Did the same thing, and while the framerate is steady as you say, constant stuttering just kills everything.

I don't think I'm experiencing any of the issues most seem to be talking about. Game runs fine for me with everything maxed out, and it was never locked to 30 FPS. YMMV, I guess.

What does The Witcher 3 has to do with what he said? He specifically mentioned batman, which according to digital foundry runs absolutely great. There are cards several times more powerful than the PS4 that has performance issues and weird drops, so it's not like he made the wrong decision.
Is it confirmed that it's just the Gameworks stuff that's causing the stuttering? I don't have the fog on (980) but have checked everything else. I always loved the paper debris effect in city and asylum
I mean, the game is playable still, and occasionally looks great, but it's not a locked 60FPS. Not that I can feel anyway - MSI afterburner decided to stop showing me the FPS counter on my second boot of the game. Real weird. Haven't got it working since.

There's no way it wasn't unless you already tweaked the settings.

Well then I don't know what to tell you. Tested it as soon as I started it up and got up to about 65 or so FPS as my maximum. If you think I'm lying, so be it.
