Tweak Guide
Steam user Kaldaien has compiled a comprehensive configuration guide for Arkham Knight. Users have reported improved performance, texture streaming and graphics quality.
Performance increase on SLI systems
Because Batman: Arkham Knight heavily uses Nvidia PhysX, you can get a considerable framerate improvement by disabling SLI in the Nvidia control panel and assigning your second GPU to be dedicated to PhysX. The game does not support SLI anyways, so at least with this tweak you can get a sort of 'semi-SLI' mode going. This should increase framerates by around 25%, similar to a SLI profile with poor scaling.

System requirements
- A 64-bit system is required.
- For ultra setting the publisher lists an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 and 4 GB of VRAM as the minimum requirement.[7]
- The recommended requirements are only for 30FPS, not 60+ as most would expect. The upcoming updates may allow for a GTX 760 to run at 60 with low/med settings, but it is not complete or confirmed yet. Also note most GTX 760s only have 2GB of VRAM, not the recommended 3GB. 2GB should suffice for low/med quality, but 3GB+ is likely desired for high settings.
