Not started out well!

bought the game for £25 off Origin, only to find it on Steam for a £10 this weekend. :mad:

So I've got an ok rig and excellent cards.

But with 4xAA and all the bells and whistles I get rubbish framerates. Averge 70 loads of stuttering.

If I turn PhysX off all of a sudden I get an avg of 150 fps....

Any ideas?

So I have stuttering, and any level of Physx kills the game. I've even tried to disable SLI and dedicate one card to Physx.

PhysX + DX11 are broken disable both then get smooth FPS!

Pretty **** really isn't it. Somehow I was led to believe this was an amazing masterpiece of gaming from a graphical point of view. Want my money back!

I still get a stuttering in DX9 too though.
 
DX11 is still broken? I wondered why it wasn't running smoothly!!!

Edit: I will try running it in DX9 later see if it fixes my problems...
 
Well it works...but it is pretty shoddy. Stuttering everywhere...surprised Nvidia put their name to it.

Physx kills my 680 SLI which is stupid...and DX11 sutters like crazy.

DX9 looks fine disable PhysX to get rid of stuttering it adds little anyway some of us paid £40 for this Nvidia will never fix it now they had a team of their developers onsite @ Rockteady in Feb & no patch=unlikely to get one now just enjoy DX9 its still a decent game & looks good DX11 adds little anyway to this game.
 
I get stuttering in this game no matter what combination of settings I use. The best I can get is DX9, no PhysX and disable SLI.

OT

Some bloke was asking for you on a BFBC2 server I was playing on the other night, asked If I knew you. Think his name was RED...RAGE... or something

Ain't played it for ages.

In fact I've pretty much given up online FPS games, with the exception of the occassional game of TF2.

Too much stress and rage.
 
It is one of the best games for graphics IMO and this is with DX 11, no physx. The lighting and reflections in the water of neon lights is great and reminds me a lot of BF 3 in that area (reflections in water)

Everything on max apart from motion blur and the game runs great on my rig, only the odd bit of micro stutter here and there but as said happens very rarely.

DX11 adds very little to the game and you barely even notice it, unless you like to stand really close to things like gargoyle statues, ivy's plants and brick walls etc. and stare at them for ages to notice the difference then it is worthless, it adds nothing to the game play.

Physx on the other hand from what I have seen does but again isn't really worth the performance hit.


Besides you shouldn't be playing this game purely for eye candy, the area where it is a true masterpiece is the story, voice acting, gameplay, combat etc. :p
 
I found the game ran smoother with DX11 on rather than DX9.

It's probably SLI thats the problem.

You'd probably get better performance using one card to render and one for physx.

Ok. With SLI enabled and Physx ON and DX11 it is pretty bad.

Disable DX11 and things get better....disable Physx and we are running in to 300fps.

I already tried the disable SLI and put one dedicated to Physx. This makes the game plenty playable. With that approach I get 100+fps and Physx on High. For some reason my rig doenst like the DX11 path. Stutters like crazy and is 1/3 the framerate.

Wierd, BF3 and a few other games work fine.

I have everything up to the max and it's fine in 2d mode although in some bad areas it drops to 30FPS. 3d usage is not great and has some jumps alright.
 
Game is amazingly smooth for me in dx11 I use fxaa tho and everything else on extreme! No physx as I'm 7970 and don't get no slowdown just wish I knew how to edit the configuration to increase fps more then 62 as its locked at that and no I dont uuse vsync have 120hz monitor!

You have to edit the game in the registry, I did it but I can't remember how, Google "arkham city 60 fps" or something like that and there's a quick guide on some forum somewhere!
