A lot of people still run XP.
So as many people can play it as possible.

This is grand news. I hate when companies release games in PST because they are "based" there. What about the millions of people who aren't!
Hoping my old i7 920/HD5850/6 gigs triple-channel can handle this still at relatively high settings if not highest (no/absolute minimum phys-x of course) BL1/ME3/UT3 run like butter for me maxed out, but Bulletstorm really chugged a lot even after I lowered most things to near medium settings as far as UE3 games go.
More like console port of UE 3 game. DX 11/10 is not really a factor for game requirement nowadays.

Have there been any vids showing the difference between physics at medium vs high? I'm really hoping I'll be able to max it out and maintain 60fps on a 670, but that newegg vid showing dips into the 30's on a 660 doesn't leave much hope for that.

So we're clear, can you run Physx in software mode with this game? I know it let me do it with Arkham Asylum. Or at least it let me choose settings for Physx and I was able to run it on low with my 6970. I would rather try and run it with something on than nothing. It already looks clean as hell regardless of the extra Physx fluff.

I'm running an i5 3570k and an EVGA 570HD, what are the odds of me running PhysX in high?

10/10.

i5 760, gtx 460, 4gb ram, hopefully can run @ decent settings without too much lag
There's no splitscreen on pc.
Pretty sure split screen is console only.

I'd never use it, but it is pretty dumb that they never include split screen in PC games. I have a friend who already pre-ordered on Steam that intends to play it split screen with his cousin. I didn't have the heart to tell him he's fucked. He'll find out soon.
Everything was already done engine-wise with BL1 3 years ago. They wanted to concentrate more on content than trying to create a DX10/11 graphical masterpiece.
If it's anything like Borderlands 1, there will be a way to do split-screen for PC. If you have multiple monitors you could even have a 1 screen for each player. Played through a good bit of Borderlands 1 on PC that way.

I thought people got that working. Wonder how long it took last time.
Wait wait wait.....Borderlands 2 does NOT support DirectX 11????? Can anyone else confirm this?
It is a DX9 game
A dev on BL2's forum said that he's trying to hack in split screen but it'll be unofficial and unsupported.

Wtf really? This isn't the same exact engine as BL1 is it?
Wouldn't they have improved some things in 3 years??
Not way better? The desktop GTX 460 is easily 3x faster than the GT 445M.
High settings, especially if you overclock your 5870M to stock 5770 clocks.

I'm really hoping my card can maintain 60 fps while supersampling from 2560 x 1600. I'm hoping to use a mix of forced MSAA and supersampling so I can avoid using FXAA.

Using a 550 Ti :/ Should be able to play with medium settings and no phys-x. Sigh 
I'm going to try 2560x1440 with my 6950 with no other AA. I'm hoping for 60.

30 minutes! Hopefully these current Nvidia drivers are stable...

Getting 60fps with everything maxed (no fxaa, can't stand the blur) on a 670. Fov moved to 100 for my tv, was getting motion sickness on the default setting (90).
I am destroying the game.
Playing at 2560x1600 with Physx High, everything else maxed and was averaging 130-150 fps with a GTX 690. Ended up limiting my frames to 72 just because there's no need for any higher performance and additional GPU heat. VRAM usage was around 500MB. Still early of course.

Oh..that bodes well for my setup. Especially since I'm planning on getting another 670 ;0~
Playing with everything maxed out and was even able to pull Physx on medium with an AMD card, was getting average of 60 FPS and some drops around 45 when there is some blood/particles with Physx.
Good enough for me! Also I think I'll be downsampling this from 1440p since the framerate is so smooth.
Found these to be the perfect FOV/HUD settings for me.

Yes. Just about every UE3 game does it.
Yes ;<Running incredibly good on my setup (120+ FPS) with everything max. To be expected though.
Only thing is I can clearly see texture loading. Is this common with UT3 games?

Maxed it out with a 660 ti (PhysX on high), 1920 x 1080 @ 60 FPS capped and stable.
There is a LAN setting under network options on the main menu.

I said wow. It looks good on my machine but that's amazing. I need a new PC.
