A lot of PC gamers were disappointed with the technical issues that plagued the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight at launch. That initial version also lacked some graphical effects. Thankfully, though, Rocksteady has fixed most of them, and right now, the game runs great on the PC. Not only that, but this is one of the best-looking Unreal Engine 3 games. And yesterday, YouTube’s member ‘AD Massicuro’ shared a video, showcasing it running in 8K on an RTX3090Ti with Reshade Ray Tracing.
AD Massicuro used dedicated shaders to obtain realistic Reflections and Global Illumination effect via Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade Ray Tracing. He also added a cinematic Color Grading, Depth of Field and a Camera Mod that reacts to everything happening on the battlefield. Additionally, the modder implemented godrays and dynamic volumetric fog.
As the modder told us:
“For the first time you can see godrays and Dynamic Volumetric Fog integrated into the existing rendering engine extracting object positions from the Depth Buffer (something that was possible only using RT cores or Nvidia PhysX ).”
The end result is pretty great, though I’m not a big fan of the Color Grading. Nevertheless, this game still looks great on PC. Batman: Arkham Knight came out in 2015, meaning that it’s almost seven years old. So yeah, this game has aged well on PC.
Enjoy!

We are already on Unreal 5 and still the best looking Unreal game is from Unreal 3.
LITERALLY looks more blurry, whats even the point?
Whats wrong with this guy? Makes articles for every snake oil “16k ultra enhanced bloat” BS
Another abysmal article, what a waste of time
right? I bet he doesn’t play all of the blurry-fest modded games that he posts here. It looks horrendous
maybe because It’s the best looking mod for Batman arkham knight out there now.
It you don’t like DOF you can disable with one click, it’s all about tastes.
Really 8k ? dont make me laugh I have 4k monitor and its REALLY enough, 8k or more its purely MARKETING to sell overpriced tv or monitors LMFAO
the people that downvoted bought said overpriced products:)
“You won’t find such women models in the western games anymore in the recent times and you will never so in the future.”
Yeah amazing how bad things can get in such a short span, like 7 years, not just good attractive woman, but everything else as well.
If you did your reading you may find that it wasn’t just 7 years at all…
I was putting this game release date as a point of reference of how things changed, i’m well aware it goes way back decades/centuries.
Yes, it is certainly impressive how much the narrative has speed up since 2015 to 2022, considerably faster than, for example, 1997 to 2004.
I seriously hope this will be the century of Renaissance, for my own sake.
Not much changed in terms of narrative, we did have games like Dragon Age Inquisition back then, but they made sure going forward that the image of their games would match their ideas, and here we are.
didn’t care for all the politicking in inquisition;but, at least the gameplay was really fun even if they dumbed down the gambit a.i system from the 1st two games.
I remember my wife saw some footage of the game and asked if i was watching ghey drama or something lmao. She doesn’t play games outside of candy crush btw.
Got sick and tired of the batmobile real quick in that game.
Yeah it was torture to play it
The batmobile or the battank? Would be nice if we got the bat plane or a bat mech (if it exist).
Got sick and tired of the batmobile real quick in that game.
I wonder if he also used “Arkham Quixote”, which is a modified dxgi.dll that actually enables reuse of texture allocations instead of reloading the same ones all the time, something that was never fixed from the PC port by Iron Galaxy Studios and is the primary reason for the frequent occurence of stuttering by default.
BTW, that same studio is also responsible for the upcoming Uncharted 4 PC port…
Snorted some milk out of my nose when I read that last sentence.
One wikipedia search later though and yeah… They seem fine, they have done loads of PC ports in the meantime and they are completely fine.
Hmmm only switch ports, what could go wrong?
I’d rather the original 3 games get pc ports than the 4th game. also have durante do the ports. his team nailed the cold steel series ports, and ys IX.
The f*k. It’s like they changed the resolution down to 1080p for raytracing. No detail just blur.
RT effects need blur or strong AA to avoid flickering…try Cyberpunk with RT, it’s the same. Of course, I think the author will let people to disable Dof too.
Well look here – WTF have happened buddy; I really liked what you said and totaly agree: woman and all that POS political propaganda that eat up all sh*t these days!
We live in an Disgusting time. Just look at that BS so called vaccine that keeps murdering ppl. The Elite are ruin our world and mankind. If someone could get rid of these murdering Scums as Gates / Fouchi etc!
To learn the truth about it all. One dont have to go further then Dr Mercola!
Same sh**ty articles about the same channel, why? Helps redirect traffic to the channel?
“graphics sure, but when did we see gameplay that transcended anything past third person generic shooter sh*t, flying around some meaningless city, garrys mod style. ”
What does the engine have to do with the genre of the game? And batman doesn’t fly, he just glides.
I struggle to think of a UE4 game that looks better. FF7 perhaps?
I think this is the best Ray tracing mod I ever seen, I loved so much this game!
Impressive work, It looks close to CGI footages, people claiming it’s too blurry don’t know anything about Post processing rules
the game was already good in 2015, but this mod with RT changes everything!
RT looks way better
