A new Borderlands game is reportedly in development at 2K Australia. The Borderlands ‘pre-sequel’ is supposedly set on the moon and is intended to bridge the gap between Borderlands and Borderlands 2. The latest entry in Gearbox’s first-person-shooter RPG series is expected to arrive later this year for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, ahead of an actual sequel set to arrive on PC and the next-generation consoles… Borderlands: The Pre-sequel is rumoured to be set on Pandora’s moon Elpis, with the player working for a mysterious programmer called John, who as it happens grows up to the become Borderlands 2’s main antagonist - Handsome Jack.

Pre-Sequel is in no way optimized over the previous game. It still only uses 3 cores, and the cpu physx (even with nvidia) are more intensive.

the fact that it still uses 3 cores, doesn't mean that it's less optimized, I personally get more fps in this than BL2

the pre sequel is better optimized and the graphics are improved, but just sligthly, so I would say that you SHOULD get the AT LEAST the same performance as bl2 :)

you can Ace(Max) it at 1080p, with 50fps+ :)
P.S I've seen people with performance problems in the game that have low Minimum FPS for 1-3 sec in the most intence battles, but that's only a few cases. Still it's worth mentioning, plus the game will have more patches in the future and in general it's better optimzied than BL2.

The settings are almost the same as BL2 so you should't have any problems with this game.I played BL2 on ultra with no problems,and my rig ain't as good as yours.Maybe a patch is needed for BL The pre-sequel,but you should still check your drivers,maybe they are the source of the lag spikes.

the game uses only 2 cores, so even if his cores are parked he will not get any performance from unparking them, I think the problem is with physX, he needs to turn it down to low.

turn physX down to low.. it really ruins the game, I have a friend with a gtx 760 and even he has a problem when running physX on more than low…

I believe psychoman is talking about me. I do have latest drivers and honestly I dont see a difference in FPS with physx on or off… My FPS is not horrible(30-60 with cap … well maybe it is) but I've seen benchmarks of a 750TI with like twice the average FPS I get.
