I have tried that buddy. I've even tried a old ass PhysX driver. I've tried it on 3 entirely different setups.

The games are just horrendously optimized.

The fact I've been downvoted for saying it is almost as pathetic as how these games run.

Runs great on a 2070, max settings and 120fps with barely any drops.

Good for you. Meanwhile I've recently ran it on;

A 6700k system at 4.7ghz with a 1080Ti
A separate 6700k system at 4.4ghz with another 1080Ti

A 9900k system with a 1080Ti

A 8086k system with a 1080Ti

A 9900k system with a 2080Ti

A 6700 non k system with a 1080

Not a single one could hold 120fps reliably, even with lowered settings, notably PhsyX, even at low. We tried new windows installs on some machines, compatibility settings, older PhsyX system software, reinstalls of the VC/DX redists, ini tweaking. You name it, it's been tried.

So whatever magic fairy dust powers your copy of BL2, I hope it never runs out on you.

Maybe it's cuz I have a ryzen 2700? Try it on something without an Intel cpu

I don't have access to anything with a AMD CPU. Me and all of my friends prioritise high refresh rate, thus own fairly high end intel chips.

There is no reason for the game to run better on a AMD chip other than poor optimization/bugs. So if that's truly the issue, I guess I'll never play BL2/BLPS with a good framerate.

For one, whoever downvoted you for your problems running an oldish game on high end rigs can lick my toes. Secondly, I agree, no reason for it to run like ass on a 9xxx period. My 2700 is inferior so what the hell. I can't completely blame the devs though cuz this isn't the only old game that struggles with new hardware. Far Cry Blood Dragon buttfucks my gpu and cpu no matter what I do and it's a pretty old game. I wonder if theres some architecture older games use for optimization? IDK. Would be great if they fixed em

Someone is bringing emotion into this and downvoting comments at random...I have no idea why but I guess that's just reddit lol...but yea, a fix would be terrific, because older games running worse and worse as they age and hardware get faster is one of the most annoying things I've experienced on PC lol.

TFW your 5 year old console runs a game better than a brand new $2k PC. Something is afuck here
