Can anyone test if you can inject SMAA with ReShade?
It's usually way better than any post-process AA implemented in these games.

Preload size is 33.8gb. Not sure how big it is after it unpacks.

Forcing physx to be handled on the Titan X (not dedicated, obviously) improved the results somewhat, to min 51, max 100 and avg 72. So yeah, dedicated physx on the weaker card was not a good idea in my case.
Should be enough, steam says something about 37gb.

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
Damn, son. Has this ever happened before?

I think it might be the smoke from the batmobile tires skidding. It tanked right as that thing came into play. Im trying to mess with it right now. Turning some NVidia stuff off. Unfortunately you have to restart every time for anything to take affect

1080p
3770k at 4.5ghz
16GB Ram
780ti (Newest Batman drivers)
All settings maxed and all gameworks on
In game pc performance test (Had to rerun, realized vsync was on the first time)
Min: 29fps
Max: 67fps
Average: 46fps
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
All Gameworks off except for Enhanced Rain
Min: 60fps
Max: 104fps
Average: 76fps
All Gameworks off except for Enhanced Light Shafts
Min: 55fps
Max: 101fps
Average: 71fps
So yeah paper debris and smoke/fog seem to be the heavy hitters. Also the highest choice I have for textures is "Normal" is it the same for everyone or is because I have a 3GB card?

FlyVPN disconnected during packing...and now when I restart steam, the "play" option is gone, only "pre-load" is available, despite being connected to a EU VPN.
Any ideas or similar problems?
EDIT: Nevermind, waiting for the trail password rollover and re-doing everything fresh seems to have fixed it.

'Normal' is the highest setting, heh.
24th for us I believe.

Summary thus far, ignoring the crazy 50% OC 970.
(min - avg)
780ti, 3770k, all gameworks enabled: 29 - 39
780ti, 3770k, no gameworks: 59 - 75
970, 3750k, stock, no gameworks: 51-76
970, 4670k, stock, all gameworks enabled: 34-52
(AMD cards cannot use two out of four effects)
r9 290, 4790k, small OC, limited gameworks: 52-77
r9 290, 4790k, small OC, no gameworks: 56-83
-------------------------
-------------------------
Nvidia Fog and Smoke effects seem to be the most expensive gameworks feature, but are disabled on AMD cards.
- There is a line of whitespace between different user's benchmarks.
- Users have not all indicated whether V-sync was enabled or disabled, which may impact average framerate scores
- The reptilian space pope may possibly be sabotaging Kepler scores, hide your children

Nope, not for any other games since I bought the card.
I'm assuming the download corrupted somewhere along the way. Said I was missing about 3500 files - so I'm really not sure what took it so long to preload! Haha.
Who knows. It could be my processor holding me back at this point, but I certainly hope that is not the case.
It'll be okay, I'm just bummed that I didn't get to play it tonight and that I effectively wasted most of the evening for this to download. That'll teach me I guess.

alright...interactive smoke/fog is a killer of the 970, at least for me, when the batmobile is in play(which sounds like most of the game). Tanked my game to single digits. Turned it off and it seems fine for now
My rig:
i5 2500K@4.4 GHz
GTX 970 Twin FROZR V (FoceWare 353.30)
8 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
My results:

Changing the Max_FPS value fixed the framerate, so that's nice.
I did a short benchmark while flying over to Gordon. Some minor stuttering and not a lot of Nvidia effects on the screen, but this was the result. Everything maxed at 1080p. 970 and i7 4770K.
Going to do another one while driving, since that seems to be very demanding when shit is happening.

More options available in-game menus is always better, especially if options come with decent tooltips describing their functions. Limiting options to 4-5 toggles with basically "On / Off" and "Low / Medium / High" doesn't allow much customization. A lots of people want balance performance and IQ to their liking and lackluster menus don't allow it.
Graphics options in this game are very sad sight and for proper tweaking you need go to .ini level.
Anyone?

I have the feeling this is a 1:1 cconversion from console minus all the NVIDIA stuff, and why there's no hbao+? Imho is the way to go for all the pc games.

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.
Worked for me, thanks.
This is really cool. Thanks for doing this. Interesting to look. Just waiting for more numbers to come in. God waiting for this to unlock sucks.
Are you in the US? It doesn't unlock for another few hours if so
It downloaded a small file a few minutes ago but that didn't change anything.
Didn't I see others in the US talking about the game unlocking?

I used the program cyberghost 5 and a vpn in the UK.

It's UE3. There's usually no way disable post processing like that without disabling ALL post processing (at which point the game will look terrible)
I'm not referring to all cinematics, but the prerrendered movies. Witcher 3, for instance, is prerendered in nearly all action heavy moments (usually around the beginning and endings of major story moments), the load screens, etc. Most games have a mix of prerendered and in engine movies these days, and the prerendered stuff should be perfect when it isn't lately.
It was also a big issue with Alien Isolation.

Is the game locked to 30FPS and do I have to edit an .ini, or is the 30FPS lock only during the menus?

film grain is the devil
Ah, must have missed that. Thought it was already out for the US without a VPN. Disregard.
Are there other ini files as well? Seems like there is no flag for CA or film grain even in that gigantic list!

Thanks i was about to lose my fucking mind because i couldn't figure it out. I turned off v-sync everywhere and even ran the tuner to "force" 60fps and it just stayed there at 30.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.
same,
i'm getting SUCH A BAD PERFOMANCE WITH SLI 970 GTX 1080p
everything maxed out i am dipping to the 30's lmfao, it usually is stays at 40

Still at work, but it's looking like GameWorks are gonna have to be off for constant 60 with a 970?
Capped at 30 fps by default, ini tweak needed unfortunately.
Yeesh. If smoke stops me from getting to 60 on average I'm def turning it off. Seems like every time there is a special feature in games, they always take a substantial hit on fps.
