Enhanced lightshafts eh? Looks like they replace the screenspace god rays thenw ith volumetric ones I imagine?

I hope....

 

[Gambit61]

Found this on the other thread. Options look pretty barebones :/

That's odd. I think the other games had way more options.

 

[Gumbie]

3770k at 4.5ghz
780ti (newest Batman drivers)
All settings turned to high and Gameworks stuff all on

In game pc performance test
Min: 29fps
Average: 39fps

Will test again without Gameworks stuff on.

 

[GavinUK86]

So there's only low, normal or high.

I'm guessing normal is around console level.

 

[Mononoke]

Alright, with everything maxed and enabled at 1080p I get this in the benchmark. I didn't really see the nvidia effects in the benchmark though, so have to see how it holds up in normal gameplay.

Uh, that's incredible? Now I'm giddy to unlock this and try out my 980.

Edit: okay will wait for someone to report performance in the actual game + open world sections.

He updated above saying don't trust it. Getting worse perf in game

LOL at the NVidia section, could it be any more pronounced - i can understand it saying "Nvidia gameworks or just "Nvidia settings"", but to have the logo, proper fonts and everything - wow.
-
Do we know the equivalent PS4 settings yet?, i always like to start at the PS4 level graphics and work from there.

 

[Mononoke]

Yeah just edited my post after seeing that. Gah. I hope this game isn't a mess prob should wait an hour and come back and see the numbers posted. Have to wait 4 hour and 30 min till it unlocks for me.

 

[Xamdou]

Do I need to have played the previous Arkham games to understand the story in Arkham Knight?

 

[yatesl]

I don't know if someone's posted photos of the settings yet:

Edit: Apparently they have!

Restart your game and do the benchmark again - the smoke effects only apply after a restart. My FPS tanked after restarting, averaging 55 on a 970 (was 78 before). The smoke is ridiculously pretty though.

Benchmark results.

I decided to keep my i5-3750k at stock and no overclock on the GTX970.

Minimum 51
Maximum 114
Average 76

That nVidia GTX970 is godly. The best GPU I've ever bought.

 

[Rival]

What will my sli 970's, 4790k, and 16gb ram do on my 1440p gsync monitor? I can't wait to find out!

 

[the_firewithin]

Do I need to have played the previous Arkham games to understand the story in Arkham Knight?

well this is the end of a trilogy so it may help. at least play City before id guess

 

[ktroopa]

yes the video options screen looks kinda naked lol..

anyway ive run some benchies and as expected gameworks particaulary the smoke mullers the fps with bad stutter.

Im using the GTA V driver- v-synch on


1080p all settings high GW OFF

min fps - 43
average 60

1080p all settings high GW ON (requires game restart)

min fps - 30
average 47

The opening to the benchmark features lots of smoke and also when the batmobile dognuts. it tanks the fps as expected!

[Xyber]

There is something weird going on. It's giving me 30fps (pretty much like it's locked to 30) in normal gameplay. Thought it was something just with the diner first, but got to fly around now and it never goes beyond 30 no matter what settings I use.

Not really.

If you do feel a bit lost a quick glimpse at wikipedia should fill you in. The story isn't complicated.

At what settings? This is my exact setup.

 

[Corpsepyre]

AMD users, please report back.

 

[Sajjaja]

Anyone with an AMD card got benches?

 

[Gemüsepizza]

WARNING: As it turns out, the benchmark is not representative of game performance in any way. I do experience massive framerate drops in story mode.

AMD performance seems good:

i7 4790K / R9 290 (slightly overclocked) | Catalyst 15.6 Beta

Graphics in the benchmark do not look impressive to be honest. And the options in the menu are very limited. Haven't started story mode yet.

If V-Sync On, try to switch it off and use the Nvidia one.

I have a 3570k @ 4.3ghz + 980ti.

I'll report back.

EDIT: It'd be nice if you guys posting benchmarks would include the resolution you're playing at, and the settings. Since otherwise the info is useless.

Ugh this disappoints me a little. Seems like (surprise surprise) Kepler is way behind Maxwell again.

Ooooo the DS4 works natively.

From JohngPR in the OT.

 

[cyberheater]

Stock settings for the game apart from turning off vsync.

 

[Shy]

Is anyone having trouble with the game recognising the controller. ? it won't see mine.

 

[mysocksarepink]

I have a 3570k @ 4.3ghz + 980ti.

I'll report back.

I appreciate you

 

[Schweinehund]

Those settings look extremely barebones. Anything in the .ini?

are you using v-synch?

 

[jrcbandit]

Sounds like I won't bother with turning on the smoke effects. Do the other effects have much of a performance hit?

Was this at ultra?

 

[viveks86]

I hope....

Curious to see if the difference is similar to the PS4 vs PC comparison I made earlier.

Notice the light from the drone in the distance actually lights up the surface below it in the Nvidia version.

 

[blado]

I have a 3570k @ 4.3ghz + 980ti.

I'll report back.

That's exactly what I have except for my 3570k being 4.4ghz. Are you running on 1440p? I'm curious if I will be able to max this game at 1440p with my 980ti

Vsync?

 

[jim2point0]

That was my first thought. Hopefully the actual game looks better than that.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

There doesn't seem to be an Ultra preset. I have added a screenshot of the graphics menu. Very limited options.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Ugh this disappoints me a little. Seems like (surprise surprise) Kepler is way behind Maxwell again.

We have no clue what settings the other two people used yet.

The settings are literally in the same post.

Ahh that's better.

 

[Xyber]

If V-Sync On, try to switch it off and use the Nvidia one.

Never use vsync.

I set everything to low and disabled all Nvidia stuff and restarted the game, still locked to 30.

And good lord, the splash screens can't be skipped and goes on for almost a minute or something.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Will this allow you to play with normal textures with a 2gb 770? The text says you need 3gb but im wondering if it hard locks it.....that would suck total shit

 

[ViewtifulJC]

locked 30 for dat vintage console experience

 

[BlackNinja]

Man come on! If you are going to brag about the effects, at least screenshot us something!

I hate splash screens so much.

Seriously, one of the best things about The Witcher 3 was you could basically just skip all of that stuff immediately.

Are people using a proxy to unlock this? Does a Korean one work?
