Here is my rig
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.67ghz
4GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 550 Ti 1GB

Should this game be running poorly on my computer? My game doesn't have even frames across the board. My frames dip up and down is some areas and runs decently in others. I also turned every setting down and it still ran poorly. I even sometimes get this weird audio stutter when I am in big fights or loading into a new area. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yeah.. it makes perfect sense for it to have poor performance. Borderlands 2 recommends a Core 2 Quad, and you have a Core 2 Duo, so your CPU isn't powerful enough to run it decently. It also recommends a GTX 560, and you have a 550 TI, which is again, under the recommended requirements.

I would love to upgrade my CPU, but my comp is a Dell XPS 720 and you can't upgrade jack in them. I really need to start saving for a new comp, I think mine is gonna soon be obsolete to run anything decent anymore. I have had this comp for 7 years so it has served its purpose well enough.
