Game runs very mediocre, is it my pc or the game?

[Cosmic Pair O Docks]

I'm running on a very used gtx 1080 and it being damaged isn't necessarily out of the question, but I also heard that just like arkham knight the pc port is terrible. I havent tried out harder to run games on my pc in almost a year, so I just want to know: is this game being kinda low framerate (and very bad on cutscenes) standard or is my graphics card just not as good as it should be?

Go to steam, go to Arkham Origins properties, find launch option, and type -dx10
DirectX11 is a known problem in Arkham Origins. Unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do except using DirectX10.

Something is off in your system. Arkham Origins is one of the best-optimized games of the Arkham series. I've gotten it running on old computers and it runs very well.

Tbf I run Radeon, not Nvidia, so maybe disable anything PhysX-related.

Nope. Nothing wrong with the system. The game just have the problem. DirectX11 issues is random for everyone. My buddy have RTX 2070 and he has a problem with DirectX11, when my clearly inferior RX560X could run the game with DirectX11 without issues. Other guys have GTX 1050ti could run it with DirectX11 as well. It has nothing to do with the hardware you have. The game isn’t very optimized with DirectX11. However, you are right: it’s the best optimized game you can get in Arkham Series.

Never had an issue with DX 11 in Arkham Origins.

Interesting that the card you said could run it without issue is an RX 560X - which is Radeon.

I also mentioned that GTX 1050ti which is NVidia card, could run it without problems on DirectX11.
In fact, all Arkham game is better optimized on NVidia card, rather AMD. Some people are just lucky. I happy to be very unlucky person who should be able to run Arkham Knight 1080p 30 FPS Low-medium setting, but I can’t even keep a stable 30 in 720p, but yet I can run other game just fine.

Always gotten good frame-rates in the Arkham games on Radeon, even Arkham Knight (back when I was running an R7 260X). So not so sure about the "better on Nvidia" thing.

That said, Arkham Knight can be a tricky one to run right. You're running Windows 10 according to your profile; the Arkham Knight devs recommend 12GB ram for those running Win 10, not 8 GB (though 8 is what the store page says), so that could be part of your problem. They also recommend an SSD, not a HDD, though this isn't as much of an issue as the ram amount in my experience (provided the HDD is 7200 rpm or higher).

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try that later.
