PhysX
- PhysX can be enabled by any Nvidia card past series 8. AMD/ATi cards can enable the option at a very large performance hit due to the fact that the PhysX would be CPU-bound.[3] For players with a primary AMD card but a secondary Nvidia card, the Nvidia card can be made to run Physx calculations.
Graphical Tweaks
Disabling Intro Movies
The startup movies, while skippable, can get annoying some times. Luckily it is possible to disable them.
To disable the startup videos open WillowEngine.ini located in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\Config\
Find the following entries:
[FullScreenMovie] StartupMovies=2K_logo StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo StartupMovies=NVidia StartupMovies=Loading SkippableMovies=2K_logo SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo SkippableMovies=Attract SkippableMovies=NVidia
Replace them with:
[FullScreenMovie] ;StartupMovies=2K_logo ;StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo ;StartupMovies=NVidia ;StartupMovies=Loading SkippableMovies=2K_logo SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo SkippableMovies=Attract SkippableMovies=NVidia
Disable Dynamic Shadows
Dynamic Shadows are a big resource hog, causing computers that exceed the recommended specs to see big FPS drops. By disabling dynamic shadows, FPS gains of up to 40FPS have been reported. To disable Dynamic Shadows:
Open WillowEngine.ini located in
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\Config\
Find the following entry under [SystemSettings]:
DynamicShadows=True
and set it to
DynamicShadows=False
Disable Cel-Shading Outlines
If you want a slightly more realistic look, you can disable the cel-shading outline on everything in game, without performance penalty. Simply open your WillowEngine.ini file and find the following line:
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.WillowScenePostProcess
and change it to:
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.RyanScenePostProcess
