I think its safe to say this game fixed?

Batmobile performance test - Without gameworks

Just thought for fun I'd do a little comparison running everything at max at 1080P minus the Gameworks debris and smoke to keep it fair with a 290X that you're running, FPS in the top left -

EDIT

Big ole nadgers, Didn't see it was 1440P, Epic fail on my part

shankly1985 · 7 Dec 2015 at 00:09

Mine wasn't 1080p 1440p

edit

I know I just saw, Epic flail on my part

Must have been looking at someone else'.

Back in a mo with a 1440P test, Just curious to see the performance difference

edit

Damn I need glasses haha

I have my ingame FPS cap in the menu set to 143 via an ini file edit so I'm always under the G-Sync max

Ok can you point me to the file you edit?

To remove the cap you need to edit the BmSystemSettings.ini found in the folder: STEAM_INSTALL_FOLDER\Batman Arkham Knight\BmGame\Config

Open the BmSystemSettings.ini file in a text editor and search for "Max_FPS=30". Once you've found this entry simply change it to read "Max_FPS=144". Save and exit.

When you next load up the game you'll have have a new max frame rate

Done thanks

@1080p you like double my frame rate lol

My frame rate ranges from 45fps to 80fps

The FPS on the 980 Ti isn't really that different at 1440P with Gameworks debris and smoke off compared to 1080P with the Gameworks debris and smoke off

Yeah 1440p hit on performance isn't that much really.

1440P max settings minus Gameworks debris and smoke, Not a bad frame rate

Not bad DH. That actually restores some faith in the dev.. alittle.. Now the 1.000.000 dollar question... how is it with all gameworks features on?

pgi947 · 7 Dec 2015 at 10:18

Haven't tried on the latest patch but the last one I was around 70-90fps window maxed out with all gameworks features enabled at 1440.

AMDJoe · 7 Dec 2015 at 10:49

Played this game on a 290XM laptop with an i7-something. Game plays between 50-60FPS (FRTC enabled) which is fine I suppose. Experience stuttering when in the batmobile. Playing on medium to high settings with Gameworks features off.

A lot better than launch but driving is still a ballache. Even gliding through some parts of the city or particle heavy scenes cause some stuttering.

Guess ill have to redownload the title and test for my self but thanks for the reply pgi947

Np, that was with a stock 980ti boosting to 1253mhz too.

In truth it's a brilliant game, but the horrific launch has smashed away all the good points unfortunately.

Performance with everything maxed isn't that different with no Gameworks features on

shankly1985 · 7 Dec 2015 at 16:17

Anyone with a furyx and 1440p mind recording some gameplay with batmobile. Wouldn't mind seeing how a 290 is against it.

Phixsator · 8 Dec 2015 at 19:19

Just did some testing and performance is for sure much much improved even with full gameworks features enabled. That said smoke is still a fps killer. I tried my old 640 gt as a dedicated physx card and with full on gameworks effects the fps is less than half hovering between 24-30fps

yet if i disable only smoke i actually gain around 10-15% against my 980ti handling physx alone.

Now i have a 560ti i would like to test but nope nvidia wont let me because noo wddm 2.0 drivers available for fermi

.. thanks a lot
