On PC volumetric fog is the biggest FPS killer if you are looking to optimize https://www.pcgamer.com/au/borderlands-3-system-requirements-settings-benchmarks-and-performance-analysis/ Yeah, on my 1060 6GB @ 1080, I just set the settings to High, turned up AF to 16x and lowered fog to medium. Haven't had any technical issues, other than early farting around with DX12 in benchmark. Lets just ignore DX12 exists and games should just use DX11 and/or Vulkan.

SimpleG Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Played a bit of this tonight. I was kinda surprised on how much better the movement felt, it really is a huge improvement. Performance mode on the PS4 Pro is real dumpster fire though. Textures and shadows pop in and out in a very jarring manner and the frame rate is down right pathetic. It seems just poorly optimized, and in some need of a few patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on Xbox One X, not having those issues. Well not all of them. Texture pops in in menus, but not while running around. Shadows look consistent too. Frame rate does drop during very busy times, but no worse than any other game on Xbox. I am also running the game off a SSD, so that may be helping too. Im running the game in resolution mode with FOV at 100. It feels like I’m getting 40-50fps most of the time, but I could be wrong. I haven’t tried the game on performance mode. I’d be interested in seeing the DF analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of you’re using a SSD and not having any issues, then maybe it is all hard drive related. At least for PS4. PC has its own set of issues too.

SimpleG Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 @Spawn_of_Apathy No change other then getting thru some loading faster.Turning off HDR seems to help some but hard to tell and resolution mode was way worse than performance.It seemed to dip below 30 way to often and performance mode feels like its high 30's to mid 40's. Texture pop in seems to happen less the farther you progress in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Neither console hits 4k but atleast Xbox maintains a constant 30fps. It also seems like PS4 should have lowered the settings to match Xbox to get closer to 60fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_of_X Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Playing on PS4 peasant and loving it. If you didn't like Borderlands before now, this isn't going to change your mind. Lots of little quality of life changes though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The digital foundry video makes me wonder if gear box was trying to do too much with the pro. It seems they have the game trying to render more in the pro than the one X, which is odd since the one X is the stronger of the two. Maybe if they scale back to match parity with the One X it will have the desired performance. In the video I saw pop in for the One X version. Maybe that’s because they’re showing it in slow motion. Maybe I’ve become immune to seeing it since it happens in pretty much every game. Maybe it is mitigated because it is streaming from my SSD rather than a standard HDD. I have seen the SSD improve pop in for other games, like Div 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitgod Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 That optimization video helped, sorta. I don't know if it's super noticeable, but it was good to know that I can start at Ultra and move a few things down instead of starting from High.

Dodger Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 So far, I like the game. I'm definitely in the It's more Borderlands! 9/10 group. The basic gameplay is the best it's been in the series. It's definitely one of those games where if you didn't like the previous ones don't bother with this, but if you did the game is back and better than ever so definitely pick it up. But I will say this, for whatever reason the game performs like ass in the menus. I guess massive stutter and loading problems nearly every single time I access the menus, which is quite a bit. Also, I probably shouldn't have legendary farmed all the bosses in the first area because now I'm a bit overleveled. Probably should save that shit for the second playthrough.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 lol the only issue I ever have farming for legendaries in a BL game is when the level cap increases you have to do it all over again. The one good thing in BL2 was my mechromancer build was solely based on passive skills and the Bee Shield. The level of my weapons was inconsequential to my damage output, because the Bee shield was really where my damage was. So it was really the only legendary I needed to farm. Hell, I could melt Badasses in seconds on the new DLC using a low lvl pistol I got on normal on my first play through. The synergy with the Bee Shield and passive skills was amazing.

Plus Mechromancer had a skill that bullets that hit other surfaces would ricochet. When they did it was at 50% damage, but would 100% auto target enemies. I could wipe out a room of enemies from around a corner. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Reached lvl 13 or so with Fl4K and decided I wanted to try out one of the other characters.

I also started as Flak and just reached the second planet and was thinking of playing around with Zane a bit when I get home just to switch it up a bit. But at the same time, not that this is some story driven masterpiece or anything but I kind of don't want to take forever to beat it just so I can avoid spoilers. I'm probably only going to have an hour or so to play the next few days though so maybe farting around with Zane for the week will be the plan.
