Titan xP
3900x
32 Gb ram average at about 42 fps on the benchmark at 1440p badass settings hope gameplay is better

Not gaining a lot of fps while switching to high either, game seems unusually demanding (based on the benchmark). Fuck and here I thought I would push it past 100fps lol
Love it how general artistic style (read: cartoonish) make people go "This doesn't look demanding at all, WTF?" :D
-----------------------------------------------
How general gameplay and cutscenes scale to UW, e.g. 3440 x 1440? In OT few have said there is weird letterboxing going on and/or cutscenes being tilted to left so scenes aren't as intended in them.
I don't think people are judging this game based off of its artistic style.
I mean, do you feel like the game should be this demanding technically as well? I'm not seeing anything from videos that would require anything that would make a 2080 sweat? We're talking about a 2080 here. There aren't exactly other options that are stronger than that card.
I haven't seen it drop below the lows in the benchmark yet. Benchmark was 70fps average for me, but I'm at a constant 85-90fps playing the game.
What gets me is the game doesn't feel smooth at all from the moment you get to the menu settings, the transitions feel laggy, that's on a Gsync monitor mind you.
9900k + 2080ti here turned off SSR and volumetric fog to maintain 60 fps and still get drops... Bad optimization?
I'm not convinced the game is as poorly optimized as people claim it to be in the thread. Put Volumetric fog and Material complexity on medium and watch your FPS skyrocket. It's literally those two options that are killers, that's it. They don't make the game look better anyway.
I was thinking this based off of my experience with Assassins Creed and Monster Hunter. Going to give the game a try now.
Playing this, no matter if it displays 83 or 60 fps game is a laggy mess. So disappointed. Full Screen, Windowed, Vsync on or off, even tried going 1080p, turning down some settings to medium.
Going to do a clean install of the drivers see if it helps but been playing the latest release without trouble. If the pc version is like that can't even picture the PS4 one.

Thanks! Based on some responses here of people with much better cards I feared worse!
Yup can confirm now getting a locked 60 fps at 1440p with everything else at ultra
volumetric fog, foliage and texture streaming seems to be the main culprit
basically playing with texture streaming low / medium just makes texture load time longer but you wont get stuttering oddly enough. foliage in ultra also destroys fps

Stutters and frame drops constantly, has been like this for me on the last 3 PCs I've owned.
I seem to recall this being linked to draw distance? I always had stuttering on BL2 regardless of hardware, unless I dropped draw distance down a notch to high. Maybe that's still the case here?
No settings help it, I've been trying for a while and it seemed to be pretty common last time I looked into it.
Borderlands 2 would drop way below 60 too during heavy sections with a 1080 Ti and 3700x, so sounds about right :p
Yep, dropping volumetric fog and material complexity to medium works wonders for performance. I also dropped draw distance, terrain, environment, and foliage down to high and that helps too. None of those setting changes have any noticeable visual change.
At 3440x1440 I was struggling to hold 60, with dips down to 40 in Sanctuary. But with those settings changes above I am at a locked 60fps.

9700k @4.6
32GB RAM
Here's a little visual comparison in the spot that was running worst for me (taken at 125% resolution scale, hence the lower performance):

Lol sure - that's exactly what I said... all I'm saying is after recently playing control w/ raytracing and gears 5, two games that in my eyes look quite a bit better, I'm pretty surprised that borderlands appears to be the more demanding game. The game, while very beautiful in the right conditions, still looks closer to borderlands 2 than it does to something like control imho.
Re: optimization, gears 5 uses the same engine and has a similar size/ scope to its levels yet performs quite a bit better than bl3. Has nothing to do with the art style (which look particularly good in this game) and more to do with how I feel it compares to recent games on the platform.

Yikes. I would expect 160-200 FPS on these specs, not 67.
Putting it to High settings should bump that up a fair bit. Volumetric Fog netted me another 20fps by turning it off at 1440p.
Turn volumetric fog and material complexity down a couple notches and there will be huge fps gains with hardly if any visual difference.
Can confirm Volumetric fog causes some fuckery.
Got an extra 20-40fps by turning it off
i7 8700@ 4.2Ghz
2080Ti Gaming X Trio
32Gb 3000mhz DDR4 Vengeance
Getting about 80-110 odd at 1440p mostly high few Ultra settings. 4K halves this at times and DX12 crashes.

I turned it down to Medium from Ultra and I honestly can't tell a difference to justify that performance drop
I had it on high by default and was getting around 90fps. I turned it off and I average around 110fps with a 2080 @ 1440p. Honestly I have not noticed much by having it off other than the much better framerate.
I guess something messed up with Gsync. The game feels more fluild on my Samsung 4K tv than on my Acer monitor.
Absolutely, go under a source of light and just swap your weapons, then compare between medium / ultra
The finesse of the material is much more increased, same about how light is interacting with said material. On my rig I lose 10 fps / get a micro stutter with very complex weapons just by swapping, lol
Looks fantastic in ultra tho

I am having severe framepacing issues :(
This is the performance on a 2080ti ,8700k@5ghz and 32gb ddr4@3200mhz (in 1440p) ON THE LOWEST SETTINGS:
This is crazy bad :(

Some games do react badly to G-Sync. If in doubt you can turn G-Sync off for that game with an Nvidia / Inspector profile ('Force Off' or 'Fixed Refresh Rate', I can never remember the right one).
yes I am, Borderless is even worse.
I am getting like 30 different framerates per second which obviously feels very stuttery.
EDIT: WTF, when I set the resolutionscaling to 50% I am getting the exact framerate as before, but my hardware isn't utilized as much as before... maaaan there is something really broken with this game :(
EDIT2: Ok I changed to DX12 and it is much better now and finally playable because the framerate is higher, the framepacing is much better and my hardware is finally being utilized. So if you are having performance issues I highly recommend trying dx12.
