A great many problems and performance issues, especially stuttering, crashes and slowdowns, can be traced directly to sub-optimal settings in Windows and out-of-date or badly configured drivers. Go through our Stable Gaming Guide to get your PC in the best shape, and at the very least make sure to update your Graphics Drivers to the latest available version. To successfully conduct any tweaking, you will need some way of objectively measuring your performance in Frames Per Second (FPS). The easiest way to do this is to use the Stat FPS command, as covered under Console Commands in the Advanced Tweaking section. Another method is to download and install the free FRAPS utility, then launch it prior to starting up Borderlands 2 or Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
