Gaming Batman Arkham City made my computer cry

[Ben_j]

The day has come ! Batman Arkham City is the first game that made my computer show its limits. Like with every other game, I maxxed everything and assumed it would run fine, but I get an average of 18fps. I lowered some stuff in the parameters and still only gets an average of 30fps with major framerate fallings on some scenes of the performance test.

My computer :
i7 2600k
nVidia 570GTX
8GB Ram

Anybody knows what will most significantly increase the fluidity without making the game too ugly ?

Well i know that when the game first came out it was lagging right from the START until they game out with a patch, my friend has similar specs on his computer and his lags every now and then. So it's not your computer it's the game.

Same here I get like 10fps with DX11 on, but when I turn it off I get an average of 45fps.

cool, I will try this out thanks. They could have added the graphics parameters directly in the game. It's lame to have to quit the game, change the params then run it again to test

Game doesn't even work for me in DX11. With it turned off though, the benchmark averaged 46fps max everything for me (was getting 57, but the last city scene killed it)
