Our GTX690 handled the game with a minimum framerate of 75fps and an average framerate of 110fps.
NVIDIA’s SLI profile offers incredible SLI scaling (provided you are not CPU limited). A single GTX680 is more than enough for constant 60fps at 1080p with max settings (and PhysX High enabled). Regarding its graphics cards requirements, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is quite easy on the GPUs. By doing this, some may overcome the lack of ideal multi-core CPU support via ‘raw brutal force.’ The only way to increase performance on those weaker systems is via overclock. While i3, i5 and i7 CPUs will not encounter any problem running this game, those with weaker quad-cores will most probably run into performance troubles. Given the fact that the game is unable to take proper advantage of more than three CPU cores, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel can be considered a CPU-bound title.
Still – and for what is worth – our simulated dual-core system was able to handle the game with constant 60fps at max settings. Not only that, but as we can see the game is not able to even scale on more than 4 CPU cores. Our simulated tri-core, simulated quad-core and our hexa-core systems performed exactly the same during the same scenarios. Since there isn’t any benchmark tool, we tested the game’s open areas in which we were fighting all sorts of enemies.ĭuring our fights, we noticed a 13fps difference between a dual-core and a tri-core. Like most old-gen titles, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is optimized for tri-core CPUs. In order to find out whether Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes advantage of more than two CPU cores, we simulated a dual-core, a tri-core and a quad-core system. NVIDIA has already included an SLI profile for this title that works great, meaning that you won’t have to mess around with third-party programs like the Nvidia Inspector Tool. Deja vu everyone? Well, similarly to F1 2014’s case, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel performs exactly the same with its predecessor on the PC platform.Īs always, we used an Intel i7 4930K with 8GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GTX690, Windows 8.1 64-bit and the latest version of the GeForce drivers. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has just been released and it’s time to see how this new title performs on the PC, though we do have to say that we – more or less – already knew what to expect.
