Yep my GTX970 can handle this @ 4K with no gameworks enabled. Looks ok still but you can see its missing shader FX some of it looks a little unfinished.

Batman™: Arkham Knight Performance

PhysX is part of Gameworks. You wont see a PhysX title now, it will all say GW. It just depends what libraries are used by the developer.

Well since WB have stopped selling this game I won't be touching it until it's back on sale and hopefully in a far better state!!

First performance review of the game I found:

With 4 TXs I don't have a problem with using a card for PhysX but the game still runs like animal waste.
39fps maxed @2160p is not good for 4 EVGA SC TXs lol.
1080p looks like it was coded by Fred Flintstone after a night on the dino beer.

I have found that unlocking fps via ini caused major texture streaming issues. If i leave the config file alone at 30 as is I have no texture stream or texture loading issues at all on my SSD. I set nvidia CP for 60hz v-sync and afterburner to 30fps max and at max settings apart from AA at 4k on 1 titan x with another one doing physx just to be safe and it's locked, smooth 30fps in the batmobile or on foot. The motion blur they use really hides the normal 30fps horrible juddery look and the input lag feels great. So no performance issue for me. Just need AO and missing rain effects from the PS4 and i will be fine with it.

From my testing texture streaming was still an issue at 30fps . The waitresses dress for example dosnt pop detail untill 10 seconds after she's started chatting .
Yes, well, sort of, overall frame rates are steadier but the game still dies a death when you enter a vehicle, only lost something like 10fps doing this too. Game still crashes on exit too!

I'm refusing to play it till it's released again. That's providing Boom doesn't ruin it for everyone by telling them more plot points

Quick to point out it's not their fault there lol. Although he's right to given peoples bandwagon stance even in this thread.

"We are working with WB Games and the development teams to address the performance issues of the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight," a spokesperson told us. "We have made our QA and engineering resources available and will provide updates when they are available."
This is what separates Nvidia from the rest. First class support from them.

Vega, I take your point but I don't think capping a game at 30fps, on the PC, should EVER be used or touted as an acceptable solution. You can't say there are no performance issues, if you're having to do that! I know youre playing at 4k, but a Titan X should be able to run a batman game, better than a console. Come on, we're better than this
Yeah, damage control.

Well a certain member keeps claiming that in NV sponsored games NV works closely with the developers while in development to ensure that the pc version is the best possible or something to that effect, but i see no evidence of that with the poor state of NV sponsored titles on release since Watchdogs and every NV sponsored title since, it seems that any involvement in development is to implement gameworks features and nothing else, which is ok as its not there games.
And as far as working with the developer after release to sort out issues, well both NV and AMD do that, but it seems that AMD sponsored titles work better out of the gate on average and is real evidence of working with the developer while the game is in development to try to make sure its the best possible, but of course there is only so much AMD and NV can do as its not there games.

Will NV be presenting a bill to WB at the end of all this?
Those human resources were likely pulled off something else after all.

Considering the previous games all ran at 60 frames on UE3 there was no real reason for PC to be capped. It would have been half as bad if they had released a statement saying so, but to release the game and not care to even mention it was commercial suicide.
