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: Borderlands 2 is the first actual game that we can see some performance scaling with regards to the processor being used. The AMD FX-8350 was second only to the Intel Core i7 3770K! The new FX-8350 was able to edge out the previous generation Bulldozer FX-8150 by 8.46 frames per second at 1280×1024 and ~1.5 frames per second at 1920×1080.
