Batman Arkham Knight System Requirements LEAKED (Geforce)

Some of y'all take comments too seriously. I wonder if you pick at everything people say irl.

Both I'll be waiting to play this. I don't wanna hurt my 2500k and 560 ti lol
 
I'm very curious to see how this turns out on all platforms. It seems to be the most ambitious Unreal Engine 3 game to date. I'm actually skeptical that it will run well on the consoles at all.

I doubt the 970 will have any problem running 1080p 60.

I'd imagine most of the issues will stem from the nVidia exclusive features. Those will probably prove rather demanding, but we'll see. I'm also curious to see if the game side steps the streaming issues that have plagued UE3 games on the PC. Even if your hardware had no issues hitting high frame-rates, a number of these games (such as Arkham City) definitely had issues with stuttering that were tough to eliminate (at least at the time).
 
It shouldn't bother you that a 980 is required for ultra settings (for great framerates). You should be more concerned with how those ultra settings look because it may justify a 980.
 
The system requirements seem reasonable but these devs/publishers should really think about including the fps target for each set of requirements.

I also wish that this game supported DX12 because these open world games need that shit badly.
 
GTA V runs like a dream with my current setup. I hope my 680x2 SLI and 4.4 GHz i5 2500K can get me 60 FPS with mostly High settings at 1920x1080, at least until I can get a 970 later this year.

Wasn't there that announcement that this and Witcher 3 would run DX 12, or was that just baseless?

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.

A 30 fps standard on PC would be sacrilege, we've been playing at 60fps as the standard for decades.
 
Very nice. This will be a game that I can go back to in a few years and it'll look significantly better than when I originally played it.

There is no such a thing as a "standard" on PC. Plenty of PC gamers are fine with 30fps, the ones who value 60fps most are enthusiasts.

I mean, personally, my PC just needs to hit 1080p, 60fps on high settings for me to be a happy camper and with my specs, that's achieved with every game that isn't poorly optimized.

Worst case scenario, I cut down shadows and ambient occlusion and reach 60. Of course, it's always nice to max everything and get 60fps but like I said, poor optimization is a problem.
Click to expand...
I agree with you there but, I am talking about the people who max out everything and refuses to turn down anything. Even if it's stuff that doesn't make it look much better and take a performance hit.

Crappy optimization is a problem at times though.
 
I just hope the game is well optimized. I had a lot of issues with Arkham City and I think the general consensus was that it was a terrible PC port.
 
isn't it a UE3 game?
ok, by now the engine is waaay improved and it looks nice, but i have hard time believing that a 980 is necessary for it, no matter how improved it is... unless by ultra they mean 4K res
 
Just as I thought. PS4 purchase for me. Was my original plan anyway, since console footage looked really good to begin with.

Guess I'll be playing this on PS4, then. GTX 660 and i5-3330(I think) here.
Click to expand...

GTX 660 and an i5 will probably compare very favorably to the PS4 version. The only difference is likely to be that on PC, as usual, you get to choose compromises to achieve the desired performance. On PS4 someone else chooses for you.

Don't know about you, but I'd rather have choices vs none.

Really? From my personal experience, Rocksteady's Batman games have both been very smooth on Nvidia cards. Was this more of an AMD driver issue?

Uhm... no. It was an amazing game on PC, looked and performed WAY better than the last gen console version. DX9 worked flawlessly day 1, but the DX11 version didn't run very well until a patch a couple of weeks later.

Ultra needs a 980?

980? Why can't the ultra req be 650 ti boost?

Considering the PS4 has been compared to having roughly the same power as a 660 I would think the console will get the medium/high setting since they are usually optimized pretty well.
Click to expand...

Minimum spec PC will likely perform about the same as a PS4 (if history is any indication - it it might even perform BETTER).

This is likely Rocksteady saying - we will only officially support this level of hardware. I'm sure lower end PC hardware will play the game at lower settings, but they don't want to spend the Q&A on older hardware.

Well I do feel more justified now in getting my 980 gtx.



Yeah, why couldn't they make the graphics look worse for everyone!

I'm still holding out for the next set of cards. My 680 should last me a bit longer. Heck, I may even settle with a PC copy depending on the consensus in the future performance thread.

Curious to see what the specs are, obviously. I don't see what your issue is.

You can read the specs without posting inconsequential things. If you have somethign interesting to discuss, we're all ears though.

Everytime we have a thread like this, there's a ton of drive by posts with people dropping by just to let us know they're getting the PS4 version, nevermind that they were always going to get the PS4 version, because no, their windows tablet wasn't ever going to run the game.

I mean, thakns for the info I guess...
 
Calm down people this game is UE3 (modified). It should run fine on most rigs. Also ultra spec with a 980 is fine. Assures that the game has some legs for looking good still a few years down the line. I'm sure I'll be able to run it at 1080p/60fps with some decent settings but not maxed out with an i5 3570k/gtx 970

I mean, thakns for the info, we were all thrilled for you. What are you having for dinner, btw? I want to make sure I plan my own accordingly.

It wasn't meant to be a drive by post. I'm not sure why my post in particular bothered you so much. Really not here to appease anyone in particular with a certain posting style. I felt like there was nothing wrong with simply voicing my thoughts.

Anyway, like I said in my previous post, my final choice depends on the future PC performance thread. I have an i7 3770k and a 680 2GB card in my current rig, so I know I can still hit recommended specs.
 
We don't even know what Ultra spec is, or if it's Ultra at 60 FPS/1080.

Does ultra include TXAA or some type of high quality MSAA?

My gues sis that better hardware than consoels will yield better results than consoles.

I know, I'm going out on a limb on that prediction ;)
 
I don't understand the attitude of some PC Gamers. Personally, I WANT to see graphics features being pushed beyond the capabilities of current hardware. That's what allows games to continue looking good years after release. This is why Crysis still looks good today.

For some reason, everyone wants devs to limit how good a game can look because they aren't packing the necessary hardware.

There isn't. Forgive kinthalis. He has a short fuse, but has his heart in the right place if you get to know him. Most of the time. I think. May be

Is annoying is all. But it looks like you weren't drive by posting, sorry.

Your PC rig blows your PS4 out of the water though. You're not going to ultra the game on your PC, but you sure as hell ain't going to do that on a PS4 either. Your PC will perform better than a PS4, that's the bottom line.

How much better, we'll have to wait for performance benchmarks to pop up.

Wow my pc is in the minimum requirements.

Maybe I'd be better off getting the console version of new games until I build a new pc.
Click to expand...

Don't even bother with the requirements. Just don't pre-order games and watch Youtube videos of games on similar hardware that always get uploaded the day new games come out.

Even if you are only at minimum, you would atleast match consoles, with the ability the adjust settings to your taste(You don't care about shadows, but like more AO etc.) or go for 60fps.

Requirements don't take into account overclocking either(especially CPU).
