Performance Issues with Borderlands 2, Anybody have them?

I'm starting to think your problem might be a bottleneck on the GPU due to the CPU. I remember tweaking my i7-980x system to 4.5GHz and being absolutely shamed by my "mini" build getting to within 15% of the system at stock settings (mini build being a i7 Sandy and a single 580 GTX at the time).

However, it is possible you have a bad 670. There was a lot of commotion over at the EVGA fourms about 670 cards having really poor power management (overpowering problems causing a draw in excess of 100%), which lead to instabilities in the card itself. If you use a program like Precision or Afterburner, make sure you have "GPU Power" checked and monitor it while you're playing.

Also, remember, don't take the performance in areas like Sawtooth Canyon and Flynt's Ship as an indication of a problem. Those two areas are not well optimized and have massive framerate drops.
 
I had the issue of getting BSOD on Borderlands 2 when i updated to 310 beta drivers, went back to 306 and it has been fine(knock on wood). FYI i'm running GTX 590 Quad-Sli...now if Borderlands would just release a high-texture pack. I've done my own tweaks to the .ini files but still, DX11 please.
 
DX11 has very little todo with texture quality and I doubt's hes cpu limited he might be memory bandwith limited tho
 
I've been running the game and having a great time....with a gtx 560 non-ti.

the 670 was moved to another rig for folding and folds 24/7 w/o issue...thinking of hucking the 670.

 
I'm able to run the game quite smoothly with almost everything on high using the rig in my sig, but I noticed that any time I open up a menu (inventory, badass achievements, etc), things get super choppy. As soon as I close the menu, it starts running smoothly again.

Anyone else experience this?
 
Ok, I think I may have my issues resolved. I saw Nvidia came out with some new drivers so decided to revisit the issues with the 670.

In the nvidia control panel I have my 670 set as physx processor

On the 3d settings in the nvidia control panel I have the settings as seen below:

For the graphics settings in the game I got:

I did some playing using my 560 as the physx processor, it seems to play a lot better with the crashes being less frequent. Today, I decided to remove the 560, but the issues continued....if not became more frequent.

A quick google search brought me to this page: http://www.overclock.net/t/1308832/sli-670s-crashing-in-borderlands-2-every-10-minutes

Post 10 talked about disabling eax. I have an Asus Rampage Extreme III which has some x-fi chip on it. Exited the control panel and seem to have no issues. I am going to do some more testing and see if I can now be happy with the purchase of my 670. I fired up msconfig and then disabled anything pertaining to creative from starting up.

Cross your fingers and sorry for the necro.

You have software based EAX. I have no performance issues or crashes with all my settings maxed.
 
My mobo has a chip with an x-fi sticker on it, IDK but I disabled everything creative and the dump to black screen then low fps every 30sec-5 min went away.

Then more testing...

In the Nvidia panel if I turn on Antialasing my issues start. I have AF at 16 and no issues...weird.
