Arkham Knight has NVIDIA Gameworks features, including:
Interactive Smoke & Fog:
Utilizes the many CUDA Cores on your GeForce GTX PC to render interactive particle effects that would impossible to create on a CPU. Each effect can be manipulated by character movement, environmental conditions and external forces, and moves realistically around and across surfaces. Such effects are further enhanced by Particle Shadow Mapping, enabling particle self-shadowing and the casting of shadows on surfaces.
Interactive Paper Debris:
Uses the power of modern NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs to render pieces of paper and other pieces of debris that react realistically to character movement, environmental conditions and external forces, heightening immersion as Batman and friends battle thugs.
Enhanced Rain:
A new NVIDIA GameWorks effect created specially for Batman: Arkham Knight. Using the extra performance available on PCs, the new visual effect spawns additional rain particles with simulated velocity when Batman’s cape opens for flight. For a real world comparison, quickly close and re-open a wet umbrella and observe how the droplets of water shoot off with some force.
As of the time of this post, the new Arkham Knight NVIDIA driver is out and can be downloaded here, or by checking out GeForce Experience.

AMD users should be aware that for now, the game has performance issues with AMD cards. No statements from AMD yet.
[EDIT] - New drivers from AMD out:

Come join our rollercoaster of complaints about the FPS killing machine called Gameworks*, dat smoke, PC gaming is dead and much more!
*At least, no Hairworks here.
