Yeah, I've done pretty much the same thing except I've not touched NV inspector and I run the game borderless windowed. I get some stutters here and there, but it's definitely playable. I really should be able to get 60 fps though.

Idk I've seen lots of stuff that looks worse and that lots of people are saying it. I'm also hearing though its possibly an LOD issue? Either way textures consistently look worse whether they aren't there or are loading in wrong

So I tested it again when I got home.
Kicked all options up to max at 1080p, including the NVIDIA stuff. Ran the benchmark:
Closed the benchmark, ran it again, a few seconds later, with no changes to any options:
The fuck?!
The vram fills up every time the game runs something
Damn, I love Nixxes' work on PC. I don't know what's going on but that doesn't bode well for Iron Galaxy games.
In regards to that twitter statement, it's pretty shitty for Rocksteady/WB to blatantly call out Iron Galaxy Studios like they didn't want to touch the PC version with a ten foot pole.
Yeah this game seems to only run well for people who have 2 cards with SLI turned off and 1 card for pure Physx
for me..
i4770k @4ghz
2x 770GTX
Everything Maxed (as much as it will let me)
Game works on (when avaliable)
1920x1080
SLI on - 14-20 fps
Only 1 card in system - ~25fps
SLI off (2 cards installed) - ~35fps
SLI off (2nd card dedicated physx) - above 50fps
For some silly reason (as others have stated), simply having a card dedicated to physx is going to give you the biggest increase in fps. This is true with gameworks off and on.

if you're expecting a patch this week i think you might be disappointed, the fact that people believe they are working on it right now is funny, they got their money, game will sell shit ton of copies on consoles, they knew the state of the PC version hence no review copies to any outlet, you really think that rocksteady, the company that created the game was unaware of the problems the PC version had? they just decided to give a fuck, sometimes i really wish the government would step in and create a quality control law or some kind of shit like that because this is ridiculous and this people keep getting away with it
I also got a refund! Since Rocksteady consider PC gamers last priority they are dead to me! Last game I buy from them!
Okay, weird issue:
AK was suddenly performing way worse, thought maybe it was just the areas of the game evolving as the story went on and having more effects.
I decided to load up Witcher 3 and...it was suddenly performing at about half the FPS it usually does too.
Reboot PC, Witcher 3 is fixed. Didn't have a crash or anything that should have caused this. It's reminding of the Watch Dogs launch in which playing it would affect other random ass games for no reason.
Hoping just some fluke, will report back if there's anything notable.

this game even has PS4 issues. My friend cannot download the update, it keeps failing so he cant even play the game
memory leaks
May not be what happened but if you ever get that "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message it will about halve your framerate in all games until you reboot. Sometimes you may not notice that message pop up if it happens but you can see it in your system event log. Again, might not pertain but thought I'd throw that out there.
There's something in this garbage code that makes the game eventually constantly access the HDD nonstop. Even when you're IN THE MENUS, it stutters like crazy.
No offense but people, please stop posting your placebo fixes. This didn't help AT ALL.

I am on 5960X, 32Gb of DDR4. Game has huge memory leak, it eats up 11Gb of RAM after hour of gameplay and then just becomes unstable.

BAK does something weird to the Windows pagefile, in its quest to consume all VRAM that exists. I'd guess that is what the issue is.
Normal games will cull their usage at certain points to prevent crashes and maintain usability, but BAK does not. It is insatiable.
The people at Iron Galaxy are currently working on it. Rocksteady probably don't really care judging by them throwing IG under the bus on twitter.
LMAO
Let me repost this for all to see, so many people burned by the pre-order:

Seems to me devs are still really fucking struggling with next gen on more than two systems. Am not sure how a small outsourced team were suppose to turn this around when not long ago the console game was also clearly having big technical issues.
Might need to expect PC delays.

I'm not ready to blame Iron Galaxy, their work hasn't been bad traditionally. Could be a bad time table or something on Rocksteady's end. The fault is always with the publisher anyways, they shouldn't have released the game in such a state.
Three is only one solution for this port.
Kill it and start over again?
Rocksteady should've handled this themselves.what happened?

If it's true that that the team working on the port of this game consisted of 12 people with 8 weeks to turn this in, then I take back my animosity towards their work. If that's the case, it's insane that this is even working at all.

Iron Galaxy is not looking good in all of this and of recent, but I agree... We should hear their side of the story too. They are getting slammed like crazy all over the internet, their reputation is completely ruined. We should not forget there are people behind this. Tight deadlines/budgets, etc. Rockstar delayed GTA PC so many times for a reason. I still think the publisher (WB) is most likely the main culprit here.

They're even getting blamed for MKX there. Welp.
If you didn't buy this directly from Steam you can't refund it.
It goes up and down like crazy. Once I removed the FPS limit, it was pretty constantly at 99%.

Wow.
The heck? After the game re-downloaded everything again it's actually semi-playable for me. First time I tried it was like a powerpoint slideshow.
I'm on a GTX 560 Ti OC by the way. On foot the FPS drops with sudden camera movements. With the batmobile it's almost all the time, but since it drives so fast I'm guessing it's the motion blur that causes it.
The opening scene played just fine, and the character gallery in the menu works smoothly as well.

The director at Rocksteady said something like 'WB are working with the PC developer to fix this asap'.
Basically everything that has come out from WB and Rocksteady so far has been them not so subtlety telling us Iron Galaxy are to blame. Personally I think WB should be getting the most shit flung at them, they have precedence with not giving a shit about PC ports.

They can't really say anything either or else they'll ruin their reputation as well.

I re-downloaded it tonight and it's actually been mostly fine for me at 1080p, 970 and max 60 FPS. Some big dips when flying around, but mostly pretty good. Definitely a long way from being totally acceptable though.

WB, Rocksteady, IG, Please please PLEASE! Get this shit fixed by this weekend.
I know, that's what surprised me as well. When I woke up this morning I just assumed it was because of my low end card. But then I went online and saw that the game ran poorly for everyone.
Now granted, I did run the game at 720p with everything set to low. But it still sort of works.

Is it better to have V-Sync on with my G-SYNC monitor or does it work better if V-Sync is off?

lol 60 on a 780? i cant get 60 on a 1.4 ghz titan x.
SSD or HDD?
And did you switch from to the other when re-downloading?
I'm considering moving it to my SSD but before I go about freeing up space I need to know if its worth my time.

I played a solid hour this morning and noticed nothing, I just used default settings. I wouldn't say I have a meaty PC either.
