I just purchased borderlands and am running into some issues unfortunately.

When I set the game to my native resolution and turn up all of the video settings the game runs incredibly choppy and has black artifacts throughout all cutscenes that expand until they cover the whole screen.

my system specs should be well more then enough to handle this game at max settings:

intel e8600
XFX 4850
8 ghz memory

Has anyone else had these issues? Could it be due to my card being ATI, and the game not getting along with the drivers?

Holy crap you have 8ghz memory? that rules dude

thank you brian. now i dont have to say it...

Your DVI cable isn't up to snuff.

I recommend this bad boy right here. http://www.amazon.com/Dvi-Cable-30-Meters-Long/dp/B000HS3F1Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1278718822&sr=1-3

Make sure to use the full length of the cable, as the farther away your PC is the less electromagnetic interference there will be.

You guys are cruel. You best be trollin', boy.

Er sorry, I meant 5gb. You know, keypad and all.


And greenboy, **** off, thank you

Yeah if the cable is too close or too coiled up the interference will take gigahertz away from your memory.

Whatever, **** all you miserable *****.

Wow lighten up

Wow, You're ram is faster then my processor, I though 4 Ghz was the limit before silicon started getting all melty?
E: Srs, Turn of Vsync. It kills borderlands FPS.

Yes.

Try turning off vsync and ambient occlusion.

I like how people are helping him and he's getting butthurt about it?

DVI cables are serious business

I have an issue with Borderlands:

It's dull and no one plays it.

Hey, it was great for at least half a play-through. Borderlands' designers, like most, don't understand the difference between "lots to do" and "little to do, but lots of it."

Yeah I got pretty tired of it after about 6 hours or so...
