Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

no any of the ones written in modern engines like unreal 3 are running native in opengl and its just that osx is really slow and garbage. its not meant to be used for people who want things to happen quickly.

nope, mostly they're also ported with a WINE wrapper

windows GPU drivers usually have extensive logic to detect various engines' and even individual games' render pipelines and then replace them outright with optimized pipelines

this work is only usually done in the windows drivers, so on OS X and Linux the GPU just has to deal directly with whatever terrible diarrhea james the engine/game developer decided to point in its direction

with how badly game devs have been phoning it in lately the ps4 version is often the better one just because the pc version is that hosed, although hopefully steam's harsh (for publishers) return policy will hopefully get them to unfuck their pc versions properly

For some reason 10159 refused to get going on my VM despite the account in question being connected a Microsoft account. Had to create a new user with the Microsoft account, give it local admin rights, and re-sign up for the insider program. I had gotten up to 10158 before without issue, not sure what was so special now

Measured by the high standards of PC gamers, pretty much all console games running on PSbone are "terrible ports": Low framerates (20-30 FPS, if you're lucky), extreme load times, slow patch release cycles due to onerous certification processes. In addition, console toy gaming experiences are exceedingly expensive due to the closed nature of these systems.

Batman framerate is more or less around 30 fps on a 750 ti, a low budget card that is on par with the PS4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzvjjdXzyVs so besides rain effects it's the same poo poo.

lol actually from ur own video:

quote:

So what about perf? Well, a Core i3/750 Ti system doesn't cut it. We get *a lot* of stutter, so we overclocked the 750 Ti with +200MHz to the core and +400MHz to RAM. It only made a small difference, suggesting a CPU, VRAM (or both) bottleneck.

Next up, an i5 with a GTX 960 (still 2GB - ideally Arkham Knight in its current form prefers 3GB+ at 1080p and this is ESSENTIAL if you have an AMD card and want to run with normal textures). With the 30fps cap, we had 50 per cent GPU utilisation so we stacked up GameWorks enhanced light-shafts and rain. Smoke and extra paper is an option, but it kicks in a weird DX10 codebase that kills adaptive v-sync so that's off the table.

Performance still wobbles, but it's at least on par with PS4 and there is a tiny amount of extra bling from the enhanced light-shafts and rain.

hahahah pc is so bad lmao, you have to spend a bit more than a ps4 on jus the cpu and gpu, let alone the entire rest of the computer, for a game that doesnt work and isnt in stores anymore. windows is trash
