Hello

I have played Borderlands 1 and now i am playing the second one. I am having minor fps loss in big battles and major fps loss to 30-55 when looking down to a long distance of buildings. I have disable dynamic shadows in both forced off in the config files and i have force the Physx off. Which has given me a boost in fps except for the long distance fps loss which i only experience now and then.

Would this be with my cpu, i doesn't got to full load though. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a Intel Core i5 i5-4690K if i have to but i don't know which board to get. I'm just looking for a basic board like my current one. I'd like to stick to the same manufacturer as i like their boards.

Thanks

I strongly think the CPU is holding back the GPU'S performence or bottlenecking it so overclock your CPU to a good level would help and if you upgrade your CPU to i5 4690k that will be much better .

For i5 4690k you will need a z97 chipset board any z97 chipset board will work with i5 4690k.

Few good z97 board to choose from and if you want a cheaper board then this will be a good choice.
