Batman™: Arkham Knight Performance

As stated, that was a split second in 2 hours of gaming.

I'm not saying it's perfect, lord knows it could do with some high-res textures and yes it's stupid that it needs all that processing power, but it's perfectly playable.

I mean, if you're looking for locked 60fps at 4k, then you aren't going to get it until they do some work on the game but I've played far worse games on release.

So a £300 console owner will have the same lack of issues than a person with a £3000 PC.

So unless PC owners brute force things we end up with rubbish,poor looking games.

PC owners should be now eating their words about Crysis - such a great looking game which was nowhere buggy as many of these releases and didn't need £1200+ of graphics hardware either.

Right now if you want to play batman the easiest way is to buy it on the ps4 if you have one, the game runs really well with such a weak hardware.
 
Like all of the games that run **** on Pc these days, theya re all created on consoles first then ported to PC. I would be very surprised had they not run well on consoles, they are console games.

Ironically, Crysis did actually need a ridiculously expensive PC (at the time) to run at a decent pace.

Very true, but it was also a once in a generation - some may say more - leap in visual quality that also scaled well.

Arkham Knight doesn't appear to scale very well and does not look that much improved over it's predecessors in order to warrant the drop in performance IMO.
 
I've reinstalled AC to get a Baman fix whilst waiting for AK to be patched.

I guess it's subjective, it is better looking but it's not a huge leap other than the particle effects in my view. Texture wise both could be better.

No it didn't, Crysis scaled really well, almost any PC could run it fine. Only required high end hardware at the higher settings.

Yes, at launch i was running a e6420 and a 8800 gts, i couldn't max the game but even at medium it looked far better than anything else.

I haven't played Arkham origins, is it any good? how is the performance?
 
Arkham Origins performance is absolutely fine. Game wise, it's good but not great. If you'd not played another Arkham title I am sure it would come across as very good, but it's effectively a rehash of the City map with a few new areas and brand new story which doesn't live up to AA or AC IMO.

I'd say it's a 7/10 game and is worth playing, particularly if you can pick it up cheaply now.

You shouldn't be seeing dips that low at 1080p. I've not edited the config either. Try turning the advanced smoke off.

Will give that a try when I get home and report back:) I have exact same 970 so will be interesting to compare performance although you're running 1440p.
