Borderlands 2 - PC Performance Thread
- Thread starter iNvid02
- Start date
Played for an hour or two :
2560x1440
Everything max except AO.
60fps ~99% of the gametime with drops when there's a lot of physX-related debris on the screen
Gpu-usage around ~60-70% so the drops are somewhat rare ( this early on in the game ) and there's some headroom to spare.
2600k@4.7
670@1280/7200

I'm only at 1080p, not running any insane resolutions.

For me, the drops were happening as i was approaching the plateau towards
Flynt's dragon ship

does it make the game look better or is it pretty much the same with less tax on your system? my problem may just be fixed by lowering Physx 
I was getting around 120 fps with the frame cap unlocked, but drops into the 40s when I over looking large vistas or texture loading after alt tabbing out. I'd imagine that's related. I haven't noticed a big hit with Physx on High, but it certainly does affect performance. For now I'm capped at 60 and it runs and looks great aside from the issues mentioned, although I do wish some of the texture were higher res and the fluids with physx don't look great.
I play at 1080p
680
3570k
both stock
8gbs of ram.
I'm also using smaa injector, and all my settings are maxed.

*Ahem*
So apparently this is what the game looks like. OK not too shabby.
But is it possible to turn off HUD completely?

dunno but that looks like its higher than 1920 x 1080. the hud icons when i play is bigger.
Yes it is possible
follow this to enable console cmd http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=148783
cmd:
ToggleHUD - Toggles the HUD on and off (useful for screenshots where you don't want the HUD to be displayed).

There are scale sliders for the HUD, so you could scale them completely off the screen if you wanted to.
EDIT: Or use cmd above.

I've been playing at 2560x1600 with everything maxed and don't know if I'm really sucked into the game yet.
SMAA drops the frames ~10 fps for me.

With the injector posted or SweetFX?
With the injector. I'm toggling it on and off using the pause key. Using a gtx-570.
Probably not. What resolution are you playing at?

Okay, seems the twitter links are now dead but it was from TotalBiscuit saying he's spoken to Nvidia and they've confirmed performance issues with the GTX 680's - they're looking into it, naturally.
1920x1200. I mean so far the only drops have come after a big fight in the snow and I look toward a huge area. It's still quite annoying considering UE3 isn't very demanding.
How is this even possible? I have a 690GTX, i5-2500k @ 4.7GHZ and more ram than I will ever need and I can't keep a steady 60FPS at 1080p. Before anyone even ask there is nothing wrong with my PC, 100% stable and going of benchmark scores I'm doing pretty well for my setup. The main thing I notice is frame-rate dropping to 50 when looking at certain structures from far away.
MSAA and TSS actually working?
I have the same setup and yes, I'm getting drops to 50 in some parts. I have Physx on high.

Dammit, why cant I get the game to run with Afterburner
The game "Stops Working" if I have Afterburner on. I turn it off, and it works like a charm. What can I do to fix this, GAF. I hate FRAPS.

Yeah, same settings. Are you running SLI? I just dedicated one card to physx and I didn't notice much of a difference.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have a gtx 590 and I'm getting some serious fps drops with physX on high. Is there something I need to do make it stick closer to 60 fps?
The nvidia control panel has the physX set to auto select - do I need to dedicate one to physX myself or does it automatically know to do that with a gtx 590?
Lastly - should I disable dual card mode (or something like that) in case sli is the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have not used cocaine
Is there a way to reduce the gun size?
Yep, i7-950 @ 4.0GHz with two GTX580 in SLI. SLI working and the second card is using the PhysX (not dedicated).
I'll overclock the cards tonight to see if I see any difference.

Damn, I wish you would remove the HUD but keep the mini map. Also there should have been a HUD transparency slider.
Is there a good (recent) article that explains the different types of anti aliasing?
I see I can screw with AA in Catalyst Control Center, and it seems I never get to pick which method of AA a game uses, just increase the setting. Is this something I can do through CCC or do I need to use an injector?

Just use SMAA injector. It's super easy to install and probably the lightest AA right now. If you get performance loss, turn off ambient occlusion in the games video settings.
Here was Deadstar's post quoting my old instructions on how to install for BL2:
It's such a pain that AMD guys can't get physX. I really like the effects but pretty much putting all the settings down to low and I still get 30fps once rocks and stuff start flying. I wish they had better control over what was enabled and not. Gun effects and blood would be good enough for me. Kinda lame it's all or nothing.
Pretty surprised how well my 460 is holding up with everything maxed out (including high physx). I guess it's base (ue3) is fairly old tech, but none the less good job gearbox!
Really makes me want ports of other ue3 games - particularly enslaved. It ran like absolute dog shit on ps3 but was still incredible.

Does nVidia pay or give some kind of benefit to companies that use physx?
I know nil about physics engines in games but I do know other alternatives exist that are enabled on all capable systems (ie Havok).
EDIT: NM figured it out.
Since it all depends on your CPU, lowering most graphic setting won't do anything to help with PhysX performance.
so this is weird
when i'm in the menus & inventory, i can't see my mouse pointer! i have to hold right click to get it to show, and i can't let go.
any help?
never mind!
edit:
6# Mouse Cursor is Invisible
Unplug any controller or USB device that you have plugged into your computer to resolve this bug.

What settings should I run this game at? I got pretty poor performance and High-Med settings. Should I turn off V-Sync, Physx, and FXAA and see what happens? I'm thinking its actually my processor screwing this game up, but I'm not sure.

Hey PC Borderlands 2 GAF, hoping you can help me out.
My game keeps crashing. Running at Nvidia 670 GTX, reinstalled 3 times, updated drivers and turned all the graphics settings to the bare minimum and it still randomly crashes. I've played the same area about 9 times now and it's driving me crazy that I can't play the game I've wanted to play for so long.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Runs well for me on an i5-2320 and a 560ti at 1080p with everything maxed and SMAA on ultra. 40-60 FPS all da time.
the game runs fine for me, only setting i have on medium is the physics, everything else on max, when i had the physics on max everytime i got in to a heavy physics scene, like a huge explosion my frame would drop to around 48, after i lowered down to medium i get 60 frames all the time, im using the latest nvidia drivers, 306.23

Any crash info or crash log? Check the Borderlands 2 steam folders for a crash log.
A list of things to try:
-Older drivers.
-Beta drivers.
-Disable any extra programs you have running through task manager.
Edit: Try windowed mode too.
