While back it was reported that AMD cards are having problems running The Witcher 3 due to Nivida's Gameworks. Now Batman Arkham Knight has released and it seems AMD is having problems again. It has even gotten to the point where they updated the recommend video card to AMD Radeon HD 7950 (3 GB Memory Minimum).

Seems the problem once again is Nivida's gameworks. Also its really odd that before there was no posted recommended AMD card.With Rocksteady’s final instalment in the Arkham franchise Batman: Arkham Knight releasing at various times around the world tomorrow, it appears there have been some issues with the PC version of the game, specifically regarding it’s running on systems that use AMD graphics cards, which have led to a minor change in the minimum system requirements for the game.
WB Games lead community admin Yorick made the announcement via the game’s forum last night, simply stating that, with regards to the minimum requirements, “The minimum specs for Batman: Arkham Knight for PC have been adjusted and are listed below.” This was followed by the news that there have been some issues with the game’s performance on AMD graphics card systems:
So what do you guys think. Do you think this is all a coincidence or is Nivida doing something shady.
Update: After reading more posts on steam it also seems the game is hardlocked to 30fps. If your having problems remember you can request a refund within 2hrs of gameplay time.
I highly recommend people avoid the game or buy it on console until the problems are fixed. Seems both Nivida and AMD is having problems but AMD is getting hit the most hard.
