Hello. I've recently finished building my first computer. After installing windows and all of the drivers needed for all of my components I decided to install Steam and get my hands on a long-awatied Borderlands 2.
When I opened up Borderlands 2 it was very laggy. Regardless of how many things I turned to off/low settings the result was exactly the same. The game stops breifly every half-second or so. It makes the game completely unplayable.
I initially installed my drivers, Steam and Borderlands 2 onto an old 120GB drive salvaged from a laptop. (I was hoping to save the space on my new SSD )
After rethinking this plan I decided to move Steam and Borderlands2 over to the SSD. Though I did have a little trouble getting steam to find the game I eventualy got it to recognise it in the new location.
My current components list is as follows:
Intel i74770K (@3.5GHz)
ASRock extreme6/ac
2x4GB Corsair Vengance CAS9 @2133MHz (running @133MHz) (possibly this?)
250GB Samsung 840 EVO
120GB WD HDD from old Toshiba laptop
Thermaltake Water Extreme 2.0 CPU cooler
850W NXZT Hale 90 v2
I think my problem is down to 3 possible issues:
- RAM frequency is too low (need to figure out how to get it to run at stock 2133MHz)
- The drivers installed on the old laptop hdd need to be uninstalled and placed onto the SSD instead
- The messing around I've already done with Steam and Borderlands (moving from old hdd to new ssd).
(or all of the above? I'm fairly sure it's a software issue)
Summary:
High-end build not perfoming as it should. Game is laggy even on lowest settings.
If I've missed something please let me know. Any help is much appreciated!!!
