For people with the 30FPS issue. Go to the installation folder Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\ Config\BmSystemSettings.ini and look in the file for "Max_FPS=30" change it to what you want.

 

[Dictator93]

No I offered him my AK code that will be coming from amazon soon (bought a 980ti recently but the code hasn't arrived yet). He had a critical hype overload and bought it to play day 1 rather than wait until amazon sent me my code, lols.

 

[Norci7]

It's capped at 30 fps... WTF?!

Edit: Thanks Domstercool, it worked. Should have been unlocked by default though. Lazy devs.

 

[therealminime]

GTX 980
i7-2600k @4.4

1440p with everything on including all gamworks and I averaged 46 (min was 28 near a bunch of smoke).

I think I'm going to turn smoke off, it hurts performance a good deal and looks weird.

 

[Eyothrie]

All Gameworks turned off EXCEPT for Interactive smoke/fog

Min: 34fps
Avg: 90fps
Average: 56fps

Is the smoke/fog the big FPS killer? If so, I'd like to see a benchmark of everything maxed, all gameworks settings ON except fog

If the 780ti was getting 30-40fps with all the gameworks stuff on and max settings and 970, 980ti is going to muderize this game.

I'll probably downsample 1440p->1080p with max settings and enjoy G-sync.





Looks like you should have waited to get the game for free.

*evil laugh*

That's what I'm hoping for. When my 980 Ti arrives tomorrow, I'll be on the moon.

What was your minimum?

Any reports with a 2gb 770 yet?

It was in the previous Arkham games as well - no big surprise here.

Looking forward to seeing what my 980 can manage once the game finishes downloading in 10 minutes.

Stupid 3mb download on a 300Mbps connection... Should at least be three times as fast.

 

[CreepingFear]

Can't fucking wait to play this game on my g-sync 144hz monitor. All previous versions of Batman, I had to turn on v-sync.

Hmm

So I might be able to get 60fps with everything on and Gameworks, because I'm at 2560x1080p. Similar set up (GTX 980). I assume 1440p is more demanding then my bizarro aspect ratio?l

Edit: someone pointed out below its 40% more resolution than mine. How that translates into performance, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Someone needs to report back on lower end cards!

 

[Tovarisc]

They had a new driver update since

But if it was just driver issue how that would justify increasing minimum required AMD GPU spec?

Edit: driver, not performance

 

[Xyber]

For people with the 30FPS issue. Go to the installation folder Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\ Config\BmSystemSettings.ini and look in the file for "Max_FPS=30" change it to what you want.

How does something like this even make it through to release...

 

[GavinUK86]

The intro is locked to 30fps but the rest of the game isn't.

edit: nope its locked. ini tweak.

 

[viveks86]

1440p is 2560x1440, so about 40% more

 

[BlackEyes]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU ENABLE SLI

 

[Corpsepyre]

heads up for the people that dislike it, this game uses Denuvo protection so it probably harms performance somewhat.

Oh shit, no way. Is this confirmed?

 

[Gumbie]

1080p
3770k at 4.5ghz
780ti

All settings maxed and all gameworks on

In game pc performance test
Min: 29fps
Average: 39fps

Same test with all Gameworks stuff turned OFF.

Min: 59fps
Max: 101fps
Average: 75fps

All Gameworks off except for Interactive Smoke/Fog

Min: 34fps
Avg: 90fps
Average: 56fps

All Gameworks off except for Paper Debris

Min: 44fps
Max: 87fps
Average: 61fps

 

[Pezus]

Maybe on a lower resolution than 1080p. You could always buy then get a refund.

What if I buy through GMG? Does Steam still want to refund that?

 

[Shy]

I'm only seeing the option for normal or low textures, is that correct. ?

 

[therealminime]

Ok update, I have everything maxed/on except smoke and it runs amazing. (GTX 980, i7-2600k,1440p). Minimum of 44, maximum of 83, average of 56. Sweet victory.

 

[Corpekata]

The movies are garbage. They run at a weird variable framerate, usually like 52ish. Why between this and Witcher 3 are simple things like prerendered movies getting screwed up?

 

[JordanKZ]

This game is just, holy shit.

i7 4770K, Titan X, 16GB RAM
Max settings @ 1440p

Benchmark
Min: 38(!)
Max: 91
Average: 63

But holy shit:

 

[Mononoke]

1440p is 2560x1440, so about 40% more

Thanks for putting that into perspective. I'm dumb. Yeah, so I hope to get better performance than him. I have a slightly better set up than what he posted and that is 40% bump in resolution he had.

Gah. Should just bite the bullet and use a VPN or something. This wait is killing me.

 

[viveks86]

But if it was just driver issue how that would justify increasing minimum required AMD GPU spec?

Edit: driver, not performance

May be higher minimum spec was able to meet their target with brute force?

 

[Krappadizzle]

THIS!

I'll be playing with a 770 tonight and I'd like to know what I need to turn off to get 60 fps.

 

[Tahnit]

ok guys real talk time.

previous batman games have had physx. which means i used my older 550ti graphics card for pure physx stuff. Does this game have anything or does it use primary gpu. If it uses primary i may just turn off all that gameworks stuff.

 

[etta]

Normal textures requires 3GB VRAM...? Wat

 

[Schweinehund]

For people with the 30FPS issue. Go to the installation folder Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\ Config\BmSystemSettings.ini and look in the file for "Max_FPS=30" change it to what you want.

That is such lazy porting. Can one of you guys text dump the ini file?

GMG doesn't refund and Steam only refuns games bought through steam. If you like it and it works refund through steam and then buy through GMG. The sale ends on the 26th

 

[Chesskid1]

on a more modest machine

2560x1080
i5-4690k stock
GTX 960

everything at max

gonna have to turn some things down but not bad

 

[matrixman92]

the fuck, the game was fine until about 15 minutes in. I went to the first objective marker and now my frames literally hit 0, like the game froze for a second, at one point and went to the single digits. I have a 970 and i5-3350p. It was at a solid 31 fps before this and never dropped once. Happening frequently now

I have everything turned on and maxed at 1080p. I guess i will turn stuff off

 

[Eyothrie]

Normal textures requires 3GB VRAM...? Wat

I would assume this depends on the resolution you're playing at

 

[Mechazawa]

There is something weird going on. It's giving me 30fps (pretty much like it's locked to 30) in normal gameplay. Thought it was something just with the diner first, but got to fly around now and it never goes beyond 30 no matter what settings I use.

What happens if you put the game in borderless windowed?

 

[Guille4000]

Everything maxed out but, maybe it's me but the IQ is really bad compared to previous batman games :/ (perhaps chromatic aberration?)

 

[Domstercool]

Wonder if it is crossing that 3.5gb vram mark on 670. Try it with the textures on low.

Thank you. Looks like there's actually quite a few settings to fiddle around with, they just didn't want to overwhelm people in the options menu I suppose. Curious if you can get different AA solutions based on the number of it is just a boolean flag.

 

[Tovarisc]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't cutscenes in Witcher 3 and this Batman rendered in real time and not pre-canned prerenders? If cutscenes were prerendered you wouldn't see your current gear in them, if it was different than what developer intended during prerender.

 

[jrcbandit]

Ugh I despise developers that don't give you the option to turn off chromatic aberration. Worse effect ever.

Sweet, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

 

[Agent_4Seven]

How much HDD space do I need to install the game? It's just I want to install it to my SSD but I don't know if I will be able to.... SSD has 55,8 GB of free space.

 

[robotrock]

What, why?! It's already a Steamworks game! Damn.

 

[CHC]

Probably post processing AA. They ditched MSAA for some reason here (probably deferred rendering, the usual suspect).

 

[komorebi]

Ugh I despise developers that don't give you the option to turn off chromatic aberration. Worse effect ever.

.....this game has forced CA? -_-

 

[IcyRhythms]

How many CPU cores is it using?

 

[jacobeid]

How do I unpack the game?

I feel like a freaking idiot but whenever I try and open the game Steam says that it's still encrypted.

I restarted my Steam client.

 

[PrintedCrayon]

So just had the game crap out on my. Run the PC performance test and everything was going swimmingly then all of a sudden about 2/3 minutes into the test the game just crashed and spat out a whole load of binaries errors.

Checked the integrity of the install and what do you know, I'm downloading 33GB again...

Wanted to put this new 980Ti through its paces
