Essential improvements

Flawless Widescreen's Dead Rising 3 plug-in can be used to increase the game's FOV.

SLI support

By default the Nvidia profile does not have SLI compatibility bits for the game. If you have a SLI setup on your computer and would like to improve your general performance you might want to enable SLI support.

Enable SLI support^{[citation needed]}

Open the game profile via Nvidia Profile Inspector.
Change SLI compatibility bits (DX1x) to 0x080222F5 (Batman: Arkham Origins)
Change NVIDIA predefined SLI mode on Dx10 to SLI_PREDEFINED_MODE_FORCE_AFR
Change NVIDIA predefined number of GPUs to use on SLI rendering mode on Dx10 to SLI_PREDEFINED_GPU_COUNT_FOUR
Apply changes.

Notes

SLI is not compatible with SMAA T2X option (will cause flicking and other visual errors).

Some shadow flickering in certain areas will occur regardless of settings when using SLI.
