Batman Arkham Knight System Requirements LEAKED (Geforce)
- Thread starter Kezen
- Start date
That's a pretty unexplicable mindset. You can't be assured to "max out" (whatever that means) X or Y game regardless of your hardware.
300$ card won't get you 1080p 60fps ultra for an upcoming AAA 2015 title. Maybe next time have some context first before posting such stupid comment.

Well, worst case scenario, i'll just disable Physx Turbulence or environmental to play at Ultra on my 970.

Until you define what ultra is for a particular game then this makes no sense.
DMC (a last gen game with very last gen looking graphics on ultra) not running at 1080-60 on a gtx 970 would be stupid.
If batman looks as good as the e3 trailer (which it will not, not even on pc) then a 980 for 60 fps with those visuals sounds like a treat.

980? Why can't the ultra req be 650 ti boost?
Go fuck yourself.

Wonder if this is for 30fps or 60fps on the minimum. PS4 footage looked great. (Officer Down)
The obsession with "maxing out" is weird as hell. Tone a couple settings down to very high if you need to. The game will still look damn awesome either way.

I guess I will be fine playing this at 720p as I always do.
What a rude person.
Usually system requirements aim for 30fps, 60fps is mostly for enthusiasts.
E3 2014 demo was confirmed PC but who knows how the game actually looks like now.

Well, as I didn't expect the final game to run as showed on early footage like you've mentioned I expcted 970 to be actually able to run AK @1080p60.

Everything was PC besides the Office Down video I think.

As I said, I overreacted. It was a silly comment.
High Five! Best purchase of my gaming life along with the worst purchase.
I also think PS4 version looks great, the game on Ultra will probably blow it out of the water but I'm satisfied with what i saw and I'm happy with how a next gen Batman game looks on the PS4.
It's also cool that the game can take advantage of the highest end hardware, everybody should be happy =)
I always just assume 1080p/60fps. It seems to be the gold standard for gaming right now.
Batman games had always the best implementation of the Physx particle System. They looked really great with minimal Performance cost, other than AC Black Flag Physx for example.
So i would disable something else and try to keep Physx enabled.

considering they are giving us these "ultra" specs I wonder what the recommended would give us in settings terms. Probably just medium/high.

Well when your CPU becomes the minimum requirements its time to upgrade.

Why not 1080p/30? This seems like a somewhat more golden standard.
But that's the case - I wish they would just say that explicitly in those system requirements.
Based on my past experience if a game recommends 3gb of vram then 2gb of vram is fine for max textures.
I heard Unity runs "fine" with 2gb of VRAM while high textures are said to require 3.
No idea if AK will play out the same.
This is the first entry in the series not being constricted by last-gen hardware, I wouldn't expect it to run like it was.
Lol, my i5 2500k's not even the minimum anymore and I can still get 60fps in games like GTA5, Shadow of Mordor, etc.
I wish more people said this. Especially when the details of what "Max" settings or "ultra" settings entails, is completely unknown.
The minimum is perfectly acceptable at any rate

No XP support?
Come on XD
You want them do dumb down the visuals then?

I'll agree that the implementation is great, but wouldn't say it had minimal performance cost. It's just that most of the time, it's the thing I care less and the first thing I used to disable if I had problems. Well, guess we'll see when the game launches.

An i7 for recommended settings? That's surprising. Is it really necessary though?
This is the ultimate in entitlement of wanting things to conform to you. What frame of reference do you even have to understand what "ultra" entails? Let alone doing that at 1080p60. It should be exciting that a developer may possibly be pushing the boundaries of hardware and features, rather than jumping to the conclusion that it is bad since it doesn't conform to you
It's everything but new. Dirt 3 (2011) recommended an I7. So did other games prior to 2013.
Not necessary in the strictest sense but it does make a difference in some games.
I reckon Ivy and Haswell I5 should be more than sufficient.

Hopefully the 980 is only needed for downsampling or what have you.

Aren't the differences usually marginal though?
Why "hopefully" ? It would be absolutely awesome if actual settings required such a GPU.
I don't see any downsides.
Depends on your definition of marginal. Sometimes it can be 30% (Crysis 3) or 10fps (Watch Dogs).

I think it probably says that because it's going to be a Steamworks game and you have to activate the game on Steam.
