Wonder how this would do with a 1080 ti, so no g-sync. I have a 1440p monitor with no g-sync and so far no tearing on it.

cawzieI'm driving a monitor of the same resolution and refresh rate as this one with a GTX 1080 and a simple overclock (nothing extreme). Most of my games run at over 100 fps, with the exception of very new titles like Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2†. Those games run between 70 and 120 Hz with settings nearly maxed out, depending on what's happening in the scene. Overall, it's beautiful, but of course I expect that a 1080 Ti would bring these up a notch so that you could maintain 100 fps or near it.
† The odd exception is Borderlands 2, which despite launching in 2012 I have to run at 2560x1080 (yes, it's a little blurry) to maintain framerates that aren't choppy. And when a lot of PhysX action is happening, Borderlands 2 can still choke at that resolution.

MountainPassI wonder if its an issue of the game not utilizing hyping threading correctly. Try setting affinity for the cores by disabling the HT cores. If you have a 8 core cpu disable cores 0,1,3,5 and leave 0,2,4,6,8 checked. Its under Task manager and then the tab details, find the .exe that's running borderlands right click and select select affinity. If that helps then try running full screen borderless (if its an option) and see if that helps. I did that recently with an older game and its smooth as butter where as before I would get major hick ups. You'll have to set the affinity each time you play but it only takes a second.

MountainPassI included some links below, I think the 2nd one has more info. Hope it helps!

cawzieThanks. My CPU doesn't support hyperthreading, so that's not an issue here. I disabled two of the four real CPU cores anyway just to see what would happen: FPS reduced from 75 to 48. At least it's good to know that the near-continuous 100% usage of all 4 cores is doing something...
There is a fullscreen borderless option, but I can't see any performance difference between that and fullscreen.
I'm glad you brought this up, though... In my testing today, 2560x1080 only yielded about a 10% FPS increase over 3440x1440. This might not be worth the blurriness to me, so I'm going to try the game at the higher resolution again for a while. My tests today were pretty short, but so were my initial tests that made me think I needed the lower resolution, so I'll just have to play for a while and see whether it feels better or not. It's going to be choppy during action-heavy moments anyway, so I suppose the still frames may as well be pretty. =)

MountainPassI would also put physx on low to see if that helps too. On the nvidia link I pasted there are some config file tweaks to try that i read will help with FPS gains too.

cawzieChanging the in-game PhysX setting helps, so I know PhysX is the primary limiting factor. Based on what I read in the links you provided, it sounds like poor PhysX optimization is the real problem, which is basically what I already suspected. I'm not willing to change it though because the world just has so much more life to it with PhysX enabled. =) I did see the config file changes, and I'll consider trying some if I'm going to be playing a lot more of that game.
