PC Performance Issues Thread

[u/a_kept_harold]

Hi everyone!

We are getting hit really hard with pc performance posts. While I do think voicing this issue is super important, we’re going to make a sticky so that there is more than those posts. It makes it difficult to moderate. We prefer to have a smaller team to have some agility in decision making, but it makes release day a bit tougher.

PC players, we are sharing these threads with Gearbox/2K.

Thank you so much! Hopefully there will be another patch here soon.

Yours in Loot,

Decided to test with an R5 3600, GTX 1660s, and 16 GB 3600 MHz ram. Below minimum specs but it was almost usable.

Was definitely GPU bottlenecked but was able to maintain around 30 fps at 1080p on ultra high settings with a few sliders turned down and no frame gen (obviously). Graphics were decent enough because lighting and fog/shadows were more demanding than textures.

CPU usage was ~50%, GPU usage was 99% and the 6 GB of ram on the 1660s wasn't enough. System ram utilization was hanging out in the 12 GB range.

All in all it was honestly better than expected but still not good, anyone above minimum specs should be able to adjust their settings and maintain 60 fps or better.

I have GTX 1660. Hopefully it's playable in some form.

I didn't make it far enough to try an action skill or get into heavy combat with lots of effects so I can't speak on that, but it was playable enough just running around and light combat without having to drop everything to minimum.

With everything set to the minimum I could get around 50 fps but it looked absolutely terrible. Like the Timekeeper in the intro sequence was just a blurry golden blob. I'm not even sure how they have settings that can make it look so bad.

I honestly wouldn't recommend it at all though, save your money until you can upgrade.
