Over at GeForce.com you will find the system requirements you will need to rescue Gotham from its current status of Arkham City. They are fairly modest to be able to play the game at a reasonable resolution, if you are willing to skip out on PhysX, 3D Vision and extreme tesellation.
In concert with a 2.4GHz Dual-Core CPU and 2GB of RAM, a GeForce 8800 GT will give you a high level of visual fidelity, but none of the extras. A GeForce GTX 460, however, in conjunction with a 2.5GHz Dual-Core CPU and 4GB of RAM, will allow you to use the game’s Recommended ‘High’ settings and PhysX, as shown in our recent Batman: Arkham City PC Trailer.
Based on preliminary testing we’ve determined that a GeForce GTX 460 or GeForce GTX 560 will allow you to play Arkham City comfortably at 1920×1080 with PhysX enabled, as shown in the aforementioned video; a GeForce GTX 570 allows you to enable additional DirectX 11 effects, as shown in our screenshot; and a GeForce GTX 580 allows you view all of the eye-candy in stereoscopic 3D Vision for the ultimate Batman: Arkham City experience.
