Batman: Arkham Knight – PC Requirements Revealed, Will Support PhysX

NVIDIA’s GeForce website has just revealed the PC requirements for Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight. According to them, PC gamers will at least need 6GB of RAM (say bye-bye to this game if you are equipped with only 4GB), a 64-bit operating system, and 45GB of free hard drive space.

Minimum System Requirements

  • OS: Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 (64-bit Operating System Required)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz | AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
  • Graphics Memory: 2 GB
  • DirectX®: 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet Connection Required
  • Hard Drive Space: 45 GB

Recommended System Requirements

  • OS: Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 (64-bit Operating System Required)
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
  • Graphics Memory: 3 GB
  • DirectX®: 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet Connection Required
  • Hard Drive Space: 55 GB

What’s also interesting is the fact that the game will support NVIDIA’s PhysX technology. Even though Rocksteady and Warner Bros has not revealed anything about PhysX, the official GeForce website claims that the game will actually take advantage of it.

Last but not least, NVIDIA claimed that a GX980 will be required for the game’s Ultra settings.

Kudos to Eurogamer for reporting the news and to our reader “John Vanitsidis” for informing us!

    1. Ultra Settings, not UHD.

      Ultra System Requirements

      OS: Win 7 SP1, Win 8.1 (64-bit Operating System Required)
      Processor: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz | AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz

  1. mmmm still not sure what to buy amd R390x or gtx 980ti my gtx 670 can play the witcher and batman on very high but i dont know about ultra

    1. R9 390x will blow away the 980 Ti in terms of raw power but Nvidia drivers will cover up the gap, so getting anyone of the two would be a win win situation, you just cannot lose.

      1. Do you think that history, where people (AMD core fans) believed that NVIDIA is responsible for games stability and performance? 🙂 Even if the game had only TXAA or HBAO+? And even when Gameworks features where turned off? Some people have big imagination.

        1. First of all nvidia claims they helping developers to optimize the game as it is part of nvidia program. Secondly, GameWorks effects are not open (like Radeon SDK or other middleware) for anyone to use. You have to reach out nvidia, register, sign contract, often nvidia pay some developers if they’re join program.
          GameWorks effects themselves might or might not have to do something with general optimization issues of particular title. Simply we cannot tell, we do not have code, only nvidia does it and developers can access it only under strict condition and can never share it. That’s alone very strange behaviour. We can also see very strange behaviour in certain effects when we compare newest maxwell vs. older kepler, GCN and other architectures (basically it looks like maxwell only is optimized and rest is just not).

          So in fact nvidia optimize general code of the game and they claim that themselves many times and to GameWorks – we cannot say almost anything, but we can make certain assumptions according to benchmarks from games using those effects alone.

      1. Some people think that NVIDIA is responsible for all bugs in games where this company has their logo. Maybe they think that NVIDIA is coding the game. 🙂

  2. man they should include this with every system req

    *made a partnership with nvidia.Should be taken with a pinch of salt..

    1. Who even read requirements and when the requirements actually ever assure stable performance on certain resolution?

  3. I would have used your site over PC Gamer’s for my upcoming video as a reference, but you failed to use the ultra requirements that were released and also the font you use is far too light for me to display in a video. Just an FYI for future articles because I would rather send people here than PC Gamer.

  4. Ultra Quality here I come.

    If Assassin’s Creed Unity is any indication they will be targetting 1080p/60fps/Ultra with a single GTX 980 on both The Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight.

  5. i dont think the game is gonna be bad optimized, it looks stunning and i will try to run it at ultra settings but 0 aa in 1680×1050 , hopefully i’d get 40fps

  6. A high factory overclocked gtx 970 like my GTX 970 G1 GAMING will also run the gamep perfectly on ultra as it is less than 15% slower than a stock 980! Cant wait to run it max settings 4k DSR

      1. f’ you GTX 970 is a Great card I have the G1 Gaming Edition and it overclocks like a beast o 1418Mhz and when it goes above the 3.5GB Vram and enter the 500 MB section no shuttering happens my card runs like a best go f’ your self you dont have the card so dont talk about it

        1. Should reach 1500 on that card. I run my 980 g1 gaming at 1542 with overvolt allowance with no hassle.

  7. @ John “Even though Rocksteady and Warner Bros has not revealed anything about PhysX”

    It has already been revealed for a while now: it will support more features than before like Volumetric Lighting, Rain Effects and it will be the first game to use NVidia FaceWorks.

  8. People want PC graphics to look better… So wanting a 980 for Ultra is pretty much saying the game is going to look utterly amazing on PC. Guess we will just have to wait and see

  9. Have a 3770k at 4.7, & 780 classified 16gb 1866 ram just hope I can run mix of high ultra and hit 60fps at 1080p. I’m sure I will but you never know with the state of some of these PC games on release. Thought about picking up the ps4 version just to help build my ps4 collection but I would be robbing myself of better framerate and graphics. Still thinking of getting a fury x if the benchmarks are good just wish they would’ve used 6gb or 8gb vram and hdmi 2.0.
