    in Batman AA my fps is strange, it gets highs of 80 and a low of 1fps.... although the 1 fps lasts about maybe .5 sec,
    its driving me insane shouldn't i be able to run this Maxed out at 30 fps?

    i have a 2860qm and 6990m...
    what could be the issue?

    You can run this game smoothly on an M17x R2 with Stealth mode on, trust me, I played it through like that without realising and thought it was a game effect lol.

    11.9s should be good.

    Check to make sure you are on the performance profile

    i know they came out with at least 1.1 because that's the version i installed when i played this game way back when. If you're on 1.0, download the patch
