How the GPU Accelerated Effects in Borderlands 2

[ojas]

[citation][nom]echondo[/nom]Yeah it's an amazing technology, but I don't understand how or why people think their game looks great with PhysX on. It's just too much sometimes, it feels as if my screen is filled to the brim with effects and it just looks ugly.I'm more interested in CUDA, but this is a nice show off demo and presentation of PhysX, wish they did a more recent game, oh wait, there isn't a recent game to show PhysX on, because it's useless as less than 1% of games have PhysX effects.[/citation]
There were a few recent ones, Planetside 2 has it now, only other games i can remember right now are Hawken and the Batman games. Rest of them use Havok.

BF4 looked like it used physx, but then they were running it on a 7990 apparently, so maybe not.

[citation][nom]A Bad Day[/nom]Why support your competitors?[/citation]
Fair point, though it sort of divides the community...but oh well.

Though they've liscensed it for the PS4, which runs AMD, so i wonder if future Radeons will be allowed to support it?

I have played 200+ hours of this game with a heavily overclocked GTX 470 + i5 760, and all settings maxed without so much as a hickup. If you have better hardware, something is wrong if you can't max out your settings.
Also, the Physx effects make a world of difference in this game. I will admit that in the past Physx has generally just been a gimmick, but it makes Borderlands 10X more realistic for me. BTW, I'm not a fanboy, I just bought a 7950. My 470 is going back in as a dedicated physx card just because of this game. I'll likely remove it when I'm sick of Borderlands.

I also have 2 670s and borderlands 2 drops to the 30s if you have physx on high an it also looks fucking ugly with so much stuff flying around. It does look nice and run a lot smoother in other games but bl2 simply doesn't work well with it

You have driver issues or power issues or heat issues.

I top out borderlands full settings 1080P with 1 gtx570 oc to 900mhz core never ever under 50 fps usualy at 60fps on a 75Hz monitor.

What resolution are you playing?

I played the game with 560s in SLI. I got a 7870 xt now and I should log in to see what it is like now, but I can't stand the game as it was ruined for me when ppl started to glitch the drops...every person hand epics and the fights became a fire spaz where you just rolled your face on the keyboard.

I did enjoy my 1st pay through but could never finish a 2nd. Phizz X does not sway me all that much.

My 7850 works great at 1920x1080 with everything maxed and physics enabled.

On high? Medium? Low = disabled btw. What are your other specs. For physx without a nvidia gpu its all down to cpu power.

 

[atminside]

just enter the borderlands config file and change the physx value from zero to 1 and presto you have physx effects running on an amd graphics system. you use the cpu to process the physx not gpu.

nothing new, crysis 3 looks amazing. all without physx. and it has great physics too. they can also enable buttload of sparks. i am pretty sure none of the technical people were impressed, any game dev knows whats going on.

Using a GPU to accelerate graphics What a novel idea... 😛

I also have 2 670s and borderlands 2 drops to the 30s if you have physx on high an it also looks fucking ugly with so much stuff flying around. It does look nice and run a lot smoother in other games but bl2 simply doesn't work well with it

You have driver issues or power issues or heat issues.

Nope all 6 series have this problem every other game works flawlessly I also bet u go under 50 in boss battles

All 6 series have this drop in performance I also find it har to believe u don't go below 50 with high physx. No other game has problems

Never ever ever below 50... ever

as for 6 series performance issues there is no possible way beyond what I stated or corrupt game files this could be the case on even 1 670 let alone 2.

Please go play defend the beacon stand by the beacon and look out where your being attacked from and take a screenshot with all the robots attacking and physx particles flying everywhere with your fps I promise your going way below 50 buddy.
