Borderlands 2 Image Quality Settings

Borderlands 2 runs on a heavily modified version of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3. We tested Borderlands 2 with vSync and depth of field disabled. We increased the general image quality settings and turned on 16x AF. PhysX effects were set to low to keep things fair as possible between AMD and NVIDIA cards.

Borderlands 2 Game Benchmark

Benchmark Results: The ASUS GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP Edition was the clear winner in Borderlands 2, but the ASUS HD 7970 Matrix wasn't that far behind at 2560x1600 on our 30" Dell display.
