Key findings from my Batman: Arkham Knight performance.
Key findings from my Batman: Arkham Knight performance.
-CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1246 v3 (roughly an i7-4770) -GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 FTW Edition by EVGA -HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM Many players faced issues with this game initially, though I had the Steam FPS counter enabled. However, I noticed the problem and quickly searched for solutions. I have no idea why, but RockSteady set a 30 FPS limit in the game (something most fixers are aware of). ...My best guess is that the PC version’s code got corrupted during development for the console release?... In short, I suspect the changes caused by accident when moving from console to PC. Anyway, I disabled the cap, set it to 120, and ran the benchmark with all max settings except interactive fog and Nvidia GeForce Experience settings turned off. I achieved a solid 70 FPS average (minimum around 47), though I got that early result possibly due to startup timing. I’ll adjust this later when I test with interactive fog enabled and full max settings. EDIT: With interactive fog on, I experienced a slight slowdown—about 55 average at 37 min, minimum 47. I’ll probably leave it off unless my SLI rig is ready; it looks nice otherwise.
Adjusting the frame rate limit didn’t improve the game’s performance. The benchmark still shows a low average of around 45fps, which is below 35fps in most cases. It seems there might be some technical issue, but releasing similar games on the same engine shouldn’t have caused such problems...
It gives a sense of what you're likely to experience. This is Batman. Not similar to GTA V or anything like that. Mostly just a minor problem they didn’t notice. Regarding the graphics issues, it probably stems from the FPS cap and the game not being designed to run smoothly under that restriction.
The benchmark results don't match actual in-game performance, as confirmed by many on the Steam community. This game wasn't developed by Rocksteady—it was created independently by Iron Galaxy. I had expectations it would get better, but I'm unsure it will.
