Borderlands 2 - VERY LOW FPS IN COMBAT

[dalethezombie]

Hi guys, I've had this problem for a long time now even after I upgraded my GPU last year from a 660 Ti to a GTX 780. During combat sequences, my FPS drops to about 22-25 FPS. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but if you have, or a have a fix, could you help me out please?

Thanks!

Spec:
Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.4GHz
ASRock Z97X Killer
EVGA FTW GTx 780 - 1056MHz
24GB DDR3

Probably best to double check everything to find out whats wrong. Uninstall and reinstall drivers, check the temps encase there is a heat issue, check your power supply encase its not a good model.

Resolution? Settings? Particular things you notice (like explosions) that cause FPS drops?

I'm going to take a wild guess that your slow downs occur:
1) When there are a lot of PhysX effects on screen in heavy battle sequences.
2) While you are playing on-line co-op.

Slow downs would be very normal under those circumstances and will depend partly on the performance of the other players in the game and their internet connections. The PhysX effects are so cool and an integral part of the game, it's pretty much something you might have to live with.

Keep following some of the other suggestions to rule out driver issues. The other thing is to lower some of your AA settings, and check other settings that might be maxed out at Ultra.

1080p, usually everything at medium settings. The Physx particles seem to make the game lag, but it's not only that.
