Posted December 1, 2015 Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? Do you have the latest drivers? Can you post a screenshot of MSI Afterburner or GPUZ while you play the game so we can see your clock speeds? i5-4690k@4.5GHz || MSI GTX 970 || MSI z97 Gaming 5 || NZXT Kraken x61 || WD Black 1TB || Crucial MX100 || 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro || Corsair RM750 || NZXT H440 || Corsair k70 RGB mx browns || Acer H236HL || ViewSonic VX2255wm-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 Do you have physX enabled and if so is it running on your cpu or gpu? It should be running on you GPU. It Hardcore lags usually on CPU's Also are you using ethernet? May seem totally random but borderlands 2 and another couple games are unplayable if you are using mobile tethering for whatever reason. Even if you are playing single player.

Posted December 1, 2015 Check drivers. Also, try disabling PhysX and see if your FPS skyrockets. If it does, try installing PhysX manually here, turn PhysX back on in the game and see what happens.

Posted December 1, 2015 If this is a new card, make sure your Display cord is plugged directly into it and not the onboard graphics! Also make sure you drivers are up to date. Might add this later...

Verify your games cache in steam, if any files are missing wait for them to download and try again. If problem persists revert your driver back to 353.82, be sure to use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove it and follow all the suggested instructions including booting into safe mode.

I can max it out with AMPLE framerates past 120fps, but I locked mine to less due to not needing so much, you should be able to max it out easy. /Reinstall drivers i guess....

Posted December 1, 2015 By the way, you should consider upgrading your CPU. The 8350 is a bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 1, 2015 By the way, you should consider upgrading your CPU. The 8350 is a bottleneck. It doesn't bottleneck a 970 if overclocked. Its also totally irrelevant to the OP. Borderlands 2 is old enough that it wouldn't be a bottleneck until you are getting like 300+ fps. Windows 10 likes to spy on you. Protect your Data!

Posted December 1, 2015 Author im running driver version 352.63 (on linux, which is the most up to date version). my cpu utilization is at like 20% so i doubt that is that issue. from what ive read elsewhere on the internet borderlands is just a bit temperamental. im waiting for a new hard drive to come in the mail before i reinstall windows, maybe that will be better over ubuntu, although a couple articles i saw reported similar performance between os's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
