Borderlands 2 Framerate Drops w/ GTX 680

[jb6503]

Hello all,
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I just started playing Borderlands 2 in earnest and have noticed severe framerate hitches. They were severe when I was playing the game at high and even medium PhysX settings, so I turned PhysX to low (leaving everything else maxed) but some drops still persisted. Predictably, these drops come in larger areas with a higher concentration of enemies. My drivers are all updated to the latest version.

Specs:
GTX 680 2gb
i7 3770k @ 3.5
P8 z77 V-LK mobo
16 GB ram
256 GB SSD

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

"Predictably, these drops come in larger areas with a higher concentration of enemies". You said it yourself, more Visuals Means worse performance.

What resolution are you playing at?

I'm playing at 1920x1080
I understand the tradeoff, but my system should have no problem running the game, even at that resolution

That is strange yeah. It could be your PSU but I doubt it. What framerates are you getting?
