Borderlands 2 - PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter iNvid02
- Start date
I'm playing it on a 580 and I've had 3 crashes in an hour of play. Otherwise it runs at or close to 60 with everything maxed at 1920x1080 and fxaa turned off and temps were low too. I'm going to try it without afterburner on and see if that is the problem, then I guess I'll drop the physx down one notch.
It looks beautiful on my plasma, and the game is very fun. Hopefully the crashes stop.

I didn't see one in game, but you can turn it off by editing the config file in My Documents\My Games\Borderlands2\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini and setting DynamicShadows to false.
Looks like there's a lot of video settings in this file that aren't in the game, actually.

Should the Premier Club items automatically unlock? I checked the available dlc and it says that I have the Premier Club purchased, but not downloaded. I can't find anywhere to download it, not on the steam dlc page, or in the in game menu. Can anyone help me with this?

Did you find anything that would turn off the black outline? I was looking but didn't see anything. I saw an option for Bloom, didn't even realize the game used that effect
Running the game with i7 860 and 5850 clock speeds at a resolution of 1280x800(windowed) everything at high and running apparently smooth. Choosed to cap it at 60fps but I don't see an ingame option to show fps. It it possible for me to run physicx??? Even tho I placed it on high I didn't see anything expects vulgar happening. Maybe it just doesn't work cause of my video card.
No need to restore, just change your IP and DNS settings back to how they were. Spotflux deletes them when you use it.

I already restored, but thanks for that.

Runs great for me with 2x560s in 3d vision, silky smoove. The subtitles are at some weird depth but tweaking convergence fixes it.
edit: Spoke too soon. Looks like toggling physx requires a restart or it doesn't actually change anything. The blood pools are messed up in 3d. Think I'll have to go 3d-free for a bit now.

Wait. You're running physx off your 580 as well?
Physx generally does not need a dedicated card, even on High.
Well, as long as you don't mind a solid 30fps.

If my latop at 1366x768 (ati mobility radeon 5650) can play Borderlands 1 well, should I worry for this second game?

Someone with a NVidia 540M GT played it already?
I have a 630M and can play with everything on high, this game is amazingly optimized.

Cool.
630M is on par with a 540M afaik. High is the highest setting including PhysX? What resolution?YoThatLimp

Physix on? if on, running through the card or through the cpu?
Cool.
PhysX is the only thing I have on low, but haven't tried it higher. I'm playing at 1366x768
EDIT: Is there other VPN app (besides spotflux) that I can use? I had to reinstall and I don't want to use spotflux again.
I used to use FLYVPN, but they have a time limit (passwords change every 20mins) for trials and therefore you have to go into steam offline and leave it there to play (until release day EU/AU whatever).
flyvpn.com
also, you need to go to Internet Explorer options, go to connections tab, then LAN setting and then check 'use proxy' whilst you are logged on.
Spotflux is way easier, but that's an alternative seeing as though you've asked for one.

Just thought i'd mention that with everything on bar FXAA i am getting slowdown in certain parts of the game - 2500K/GTX680 - both stock clocked.
The texture pop-in "feature" of UE3 rears its head time and again as well which is annoying, especially as i have the game installed on a Samsung 830 SSD.
Edit: Just noticed I'm on 306.02 drivers so I'm going to try the newer BL2 certified ones - hopefully that will help.

Does this game support amd crossfire?

Physx on high.
Not sure how to answer if it's running through the card or CPU :
Whatever the default would be...

I tried this last night and framerate dipped into the teens during the fight to retrieve claptraps eye. Your CPU must just be able to brute force it. I only have a i7 930 @3.9 ghz, which typical isn't a slouch but I'm sure it can't hold a candle to a sandy bridge clocked at almost 5 GHz. My graphics card is a 7970.

Is MotioninJoy working okay for this?

I have a 460 and it runs great. You should have 0 problems
Using a 570, I get a nearly perfect 60 FPS with everything but SSAO maxed. No AA. It runs really well.
*That's at 2560x1600. Lower resolutions will run a lot better, I'd say.

So how is ATI fairing? I see a lot of people with Nvidia cards posting. I have a 6950 and just hoping I can max it (no Physx obviously).
Cheers man, the game seems very optimized, I'm glad to hear.
I agree, so if someone figures this out holler at us will ya?
Yep, I have a 460 and maxxed everything and it runs buttery smooth.
I don't even have to latest drivers.

So what's the risk of VPNing?
I have a 6970 running old drivers from December 2011(lol...), and a 2600k @ 4.4ghz and at 1080p with max settings and Physx on highest settings the lowest fps I have had so far is around 45 but it sits on 60 usually. Very happy with the performance, might update my drivers though lol.
Once activated through VPN you shouldn't have to use it anymore to play the game. Well, I haven't done it for Borderlands 2 (Friday'll come soon enough) but I did that for Darksiders II and it worked fine.
Why would there be a risk?
Aside from using a less-than-reliable soft with spywares attached.

gtx 670 and i53750K @ 4.0ghz All settings maxed
Anyone else have it when they open up a crate that the ammo items and other loot at first have a low res texture and then it draws in at the higher resolution with a bit of a delay?
