Now I know why the Batman: Arkham Knight Patch is not out yet. They were waiting for AMD to release the drivers before they re-release the game, never mind the fact it runs as bad on Nvidia cards as well. The new 355.82 Nvidia drivers seem to run Batman: Arkham Knight better as well so the patch is definitely coming very soon.
