[TBG] Arkham Knight’s VRAM Riddle

[wand3r3r]

Frankly, these are some very shocking numbers. First of all, the 780 Ti, which at release was 10-30% faster than the R9 290 based on our benchmarks, is only 2-4% faster in this game, an Nvidia-sponsored title. Then there are the simply insane VRAM numbers: the 780 Ti is hitting its maximum, while the R9 290 is going past 3400MB, in an Unreal 3-based game running at 1920×1080! If this is a sign of things to come now that the new console generation is firmly entrenched, the ride is going to be bumpy for just about anyone who’s purchased a midrange to high-end card from Nvidia prior to late-2014, along with many midrange AMD users as well.

LOL! Loved the Batman games but I will sit this one out. Such sad state of affairs...

It just seems to be a badly coded game overall. I do hope they can fix things with patches, until then I won't even bother touching it.

It might be that the game just uses a caching strategy where it eats all available VRAM but doesn't actually need all of it. This seems to be fairly common in next gen console ports.

It's a definite pass for me. I won't bother supporting such poor development.
