Batman: Arkham Origins Tested, Benchmarked

[Alpha Gamer]

Already tested with the new drives, no changes on my end. Are you sure you configured the XML file correctly?

I'm sure I DIDN'T configure the XML file correctly, because I didn't understand what was supposed to be done. I just changed the in-game settings to look like the ones you posted on the first page. Wasn't that enough?

Edit: just checked the GFXSettings.BatmanArkhamOrigins.xml and I couldn't find anything there that was not present in the in-game settings, or there is?

Edit 02: Could this difference be related to me using Windows 7 while you're using Windows 8?

Can’t imagine they would be unplayable since the R9 280X is a Radeon HD 7970. We didn’t include the Radeon HD 79xx cards because the newer R9 280X and 270X cover them. In a perfect world we would have tested all quality settings with the 30 graphics cards used in the FXAA settings, sadly in this world there just isn't time for that much testing. I hope the article was of some use to you.

Fair enough, I haven't read up on the R2xx series much, if at all.

Yes, it was of great use; I've bought the game!

My in-game settings didn’t seem to change that XML file, I had to manually edit it. At a guess I would say you are using the default settings.

What you just mentioned is a known bug, not happening to me though. My in-game settings are definitely changing the XML file. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a ton of different results. I'm saying that because I ran those benchmarks last week with a range of resolutions, anti aliasing levels and physx too, and every time I got a different result.

Well, it's a mystery.

And also, test something I'm dying to know: is it true that if you dedicate one of your SLI cards to physx, you may get higher frame rate than when just SLIing them?

This has already been tested on other sites, sorry I can't quickly find a link.

If you have two identical cards, best results come from SLI/Xfire. This is, because PhysX won't use 100% resources on the dedicated card, leaving the first card struggling to pump out visuals while the dedicated one sits below 100% usage. Using SLI means that PhysX and visual processing is shared.

Dedicated PhysX only works if you have a carefully selected setup. E.g. Titan with a GTX260 dedicated will be slower than just the Titan, because Titan is waiting on the 260. However, Titan + a 570 or something, will result in increased FPS over just a singular Titan.
