Borderlands 2 - unable to adjust physx setting GTX670

Monkeyspaz5000 · 19 Sep 2012 at 22:08

Any ideas here guys?? Currently greyed out on low setting and can't adjust.

I read some of the amd people were having to open up a file and change a line of text so you could try that. I can find a link for you if you want

It worked fine on my 660ti

Please!

I suppose my first point of call really should be to update card drivers!!

So I haven't tested this as mine worked without it but I have seen many people repeating this infomation so I believe it to be true.

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini

Search for:

PhysXLevel

Change

PhysXLevel=0 (low)

to either:

PhysXLevel=1 (mid)

or

PhysXLevel=2 (high)

Are you running high without any issues on your card?

Yes I have an msi 660ti on the latest beta drivers running full settings with high physx at a solid 60fps

Monkeyspaz5000 · 19 Sep 2012 at 22:32

cool. I should be good then.

Too busy playing - just started.

Will update drivers and if it doesn't allow me to change, I'll try the above fix.

(once I can stop playing that is!)

Yes I think the games great and the physx on high is amazing.

Updated drivers and I can now change the option for physx!

playing with an AMD card everything maxed and Physx at medium really smooth

Can max it on my 6950 but can't play with physx high. Becomes a stutterfest in battles.

Monkeyspaz5000 · 20 Sep 2012 at 02:30

Everything cranked to the max with no issues.

Does PhysX have much performance impact then? I thought we'd moved on from it having an impact nowadays.

Monkeyspaz5000 · 20 Sep 2012 at 08:24

Not noticeable on my system. I run with vsync on so a solid 60fps.

Ideally need a lesser powered setup to comment.

The physx effects are nice and certainly the difference from low to high is huge.

the game is fantastic defo seems a lot more effor has gone into this over BL1

It slows down on AMD cards because its processed on the CPU rather than the GPU.

There are reports that even a 680 will struggle with Physx on high in the later areas of the game. Apparently only SLI users have high Physx 100% smoothly through the entire game.

The 660ti can cream through the whole game at 60fps so I am pretty sure a 680 could do it.

I've dropped to medium physx settings as I noticed a bit of frame rate drop now and again in large battles.

I've read that may be something that needs patched rather than the card struggling though.

My 670 is overclocked as well so out performs a standard 680.
