In this review we test the third and last part of the Batman trilogy, named Arkham Knight, in different settings on no less than 26 different graphics cards, so you can see which frame rates and quality settings you can expect with your GPU. We also look at the performance effects of more CPU cores.

Batman: Arkham Knight is a game with a history. On June 23rd, 2015, the game was released by Rocksteady Studios, but two days later it was taken out of stores because of performance problems. What actually happened was that the game was unfinished and riddled with bugs. Only on October 28th, the game became available on Steam, but many people already had it refunded.

Anyhow, the game is set one year after the events of Batman: Arkham City. The villain Scarecrow attacks Gotham City, and Batman of course has to fight him. A big new feature is the Batmobile, which you can use for transport, but also for combat. The game is therefore more open world-like, which means that you are free to go wherever you please and that you can do side missions, next to the main storyline.
