MOD EDIT: closed; reason: lack of input by OP; assuming resolved -un13

So I've just installed Borderlands and figured my system would be enough to max it (E5200 @ 3.2, 5770 and 4GB DDR2), but aparently not. The game booted up in 640x480 and I was banging off the Vsync limiter at 60FPS. I turned up every option in the graphics, and the FPS didn't budge. Then I turned it up to 1680x1050 and the FPS hit the floor. We're talking 20 max. So I turned everything down, except resolution, and it barely made it over 25. This is just at the menu screen.

Is Borderlands really that intensive? Or is something wrong?

Sounds like something wrong. My brother plays on a laptop with an 8800 mobile, 1.66 ghtz core 2 duo and 3 gigs of ram (laptop) and gets better FPS than that. I think he is somewhere in the 40's (FPS- wise), at 1440 X 900.

Very very wrong, that game isn't hard to run at all.  Do the usual, DX + driver reinstalls and see what happens.

EDIT: Just for comparison, my rig = [email protected] - 8800GT - 2GB DDR2, 1680x1050, 4xAA sits quite happily at the 60FPS limit 99% of the time, get the odd hectic moment with lots of splosions which takes it down a little but not by a lot.

I'm on 10.2 drivers, so I could update. DX is completely up to date, made sure of that when I installed BC2.

Up to date it may be, working properly it possibly isn't, see if the drivers work first though.
