Still Stuttering?

[Stryder]

I am still having trouble with arkham city even after the patch. I'm running the following rig.

Intel i7-2600K @ 4.4 ghz
16 GB DDR3 1600
Two Gtx 580's in sli
1 TB WD black hard drive

Anyway, the game definitely runs better since the patch but it still stutters pretty badly while traveling the city. Does anyone have any ideas on how to allocate more memory or maybe increase the buffer? I'd really like to enjoy this game but the stuttering makes it difficult.

I know SLI-756 (I think his name is) has posted a lot of helpful hints about performance issues on these forums, but I don't know if any of the threads survived the over-zealous "Spring Cleaning" a little while back.

This guy, at the Steam Forums, has posted extensively about BatmanAC performance, some of it helping SLI users, I think:

Maybe that'll get you started in the right direction. I'd recommend doing a user-specific search for SLI-756 threads here, and also one at Steam forums for BarryS. Let me know if you need help doing either of those searches.

That won't work. If a thread's been Spring Cleaned it won't show up in the list of threads started by the user. The best bet if to have SLI-756 find their URLs by Googling their titles and request recovery for all of them.

@OP: You're best bet would be to try the Steam Forums if the threads here can't help. I'm willing to help if you have trouble looking for something, but EbonHawk has more expertise in this field.

Thanks for the suggestions but I have discovered that simply shutting off the DX11 components resolves all performance issues I'm having. I'm really disappointed in this game's technical execution especially considering the amount of power I'm throwing at it. It seems as though no computer can really be capable of handling this game smoothly with all features turned on as it just seems to be bad programming.

Thanks fellas, i made this thread last week >>

The input lag fix will make the game more enjoyable, and removing the Bloom and DOF is now possible, give these a try but as for performance, yes it's the game itself, another patch would help but i had 2x 580 before now i've one very high overclocked one and the performance is very nice (no distortion, no ambient occlusion, no blur, and no lens flare), the ambient occlusion gives you nice soft shadows but i find it quite eye straining, all other settings i have maxed.
You've been playing the game with DOF enabled and with input lag, try it without these things and also remove Bloom if you wish.
You can give the PhysX engine more GPU resources too but it doesn't make that big a difference.
Set your SLI profile to 'nvidia recommended' also.
