i'll download the patch for my Pro, but going to skip getting the texture packs.
yes i'm on a KS8000, but i value my storage space. ;)

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Ultra HD update out now
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
Same thing for me, but I don't see why a higher resolution texture pack would help performance?
There's Wasburn Refinery which is a noteable hog (was on PS4 as well) when looking in one direction, but with a 1070 and especially without Physx you should have a solid 60fps at 4k. On my 3GB 1060 I play BL2 with everything maxxed - including Physx - at 3200x1800, and get some drops into the 50's when the Physx starts kicking off. With PhysX on medium I'm a locked 60 (again, Washburn Refinery aside).
I was in the incorrect thread, I was talking about the Remaster of the first game which has 100fps to 30fps drops in certain areas at 4k.
Ok, what's in the patch? Trying to look now but at work on my phone.
I thought it always had a FOV slider. I have it for both XBO and PS4 (S and Pro) but I thought I saw the slider on one of these consoles before today.
I had a base PS4 too.
Can report on BL2 at least the HD texture pack does not overflow a 3GB 1060's VRAM, sitting around 2.6gb with everything maxxed at 1800p. Performance is the same. Just FYI for those of you with lower end cards.
New HD textures look good:

BTW for Steam users there's some confusion as your Borderlands 1 may have received a name change to Borderlands GOTY - but that is not the remastered version. It's a separate download, so restart Steam and you should also see Borderlands GOTY Enhanced in your library which you have to download separately, that's the remaster.
It's confusing but at least they're letting you keep the original version as well if the new remaster is not your thing.

Man :( wish they out a option for perfomance and quality, i was playing 1080p with 60 fps and its was awsome
Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I just found it after reading this. Downloading.
Bear in mind that's one video that showed a massive frame rate drop when batting nine-toes, it's possibly a bug. I'm downloading the enhanced version now and I have a 9400F + 3GB 1060 so I'll report back.
Appears to be. I'm so used to 30 fps that it made me a bit nauseous at first. And then I discovered the glorious FOV slider.
Edit: Apparently, I never moved all my characters over from the 360 version. All I have is my OP leveled Maya and not all the others. Oh well, she's really the only one I play anyway.
Yeah, haven't played this game in years. I reinstalled it last night, touched it a bit and was shocked by the flat textures. This game with physx and smooth fps and the HD textures is amazing. Looks amazing on my ultrawide also
Here're the official notes for the update, if you want to update the OP with them?
I would buy it in a heartbeat if the game was $20, a new physical copy is that same price.

Thanks, will add them now!

After playing around with BL2 on PS4 Pro for a few hours on a 1080p display, I'm really impressed. The game looks much crisper and seems a very smooth 60fps most of the time. I imagine it looks even better on a 4K set.
I'm playing BL2 more or less for the first time, and I'm probably missing something, but how do you enable the Ultra HD textures? Playing via Steam, and I see in the DLC section that it's installed but when I go to change the texture setting, it's capped at High.
I took a quick comparison shot, if anybody's interested. Didn't have the time to do it in multiple places so picked one place that would maybe show the most obvious differences (especially that really bad texture on the right).
Original
New patch, original textures

They seem to have completely redrawn that awful texture on the right, and the guns look a lot better. Everything else has very subtle differences.

Someone let Bungie know that you can in fact have FOV sliders on console. Great job, Gearbox. 60fps AND FOV options.
Weird, I have BL1 GOTY, but I don't have access to the Enhanced version. Telling me I gotta buy it. Even on the steam page; don't have it listed under owned games either in client.
I was quite surprised too, during my quick test it hovered between 100-130fps with G-Sync, everything maxed out, 1080p with PhysX Medium. This is on a 8600k and a GTX 1070.
lol thanks, I'll just wait it out. No rush.
edit - I don't even remember how I got BL1, might've been some bundle.
Just installed on PS4 Pro and it looks and plays great! I don't see any HDR settings in the menu so I assume it's just on? Can't really see that at the moment.
Also, is this free on XBOX I'm confused by posts here. Like a free week trial or is it a GWG game I keep forever? I'd prefer it there as my Xbox doesn't sound like a jet when it's on lol

I'll probably grab Handsome Collection once the Xbox Spring sale rolls around. This is probably the kind of upgrade that gets me to dabble in the game again after putting a combined 400 hours into BL2 and Pre-Sequel.
It was always ran good on PC, only Physx maxed out caused big framerate drops.
PC TRIP REPORT - BORDERLANDS 1 ENHANCED EDITION
(not seeing a PC performance thread yet, apologies if one is created while I'm typing this out but for now I'll stick this here)
Ok, as I guessed from seeing the 'problematic' 2080ti video, vsync is buggered in this game (in several ways ootb unfortunately). But...it's fixable.
My specs:
CPU: 94004 (4.1ghz max boost 6 core)
RAM:16GB DDR4-2600
GPU: 3gb 1060 oclocked + 150 core + 600 mem
Drivers: 419.67
Game Settings: All maxxed, 3200x1800 res
First problem: Vsync in fullscreen mode from the game settings doesn't work. On/off, switching to borderless, back to fullscreen - stays off. Ok, first resolution of course - force it from Nvidia CP, which I did. Problem with that is while the game's setting "smoother 22-62 fps" for framerate is meant to basically be triple buffering, it doesn't work - it's a hard double-buffered, which of course could be a result of me forcing vsync on. So if at any point your framerate drops to 59.9 fps, you get a noticeable skip which otherwise you wouldn't even register with triple buffering.
Ok, so lets try Borderless, which always forces triple buffering. Fine, we have vsync and triple buffering, but frame pacing problems galore. Even just looking out at some areas sees my framerates spike wildly. As well, my GPU was reporting less than 50% usage, with 25% CPU. So this wasn't a problem of resources. This may have not been a problem with borderless specifically and just a result of my switching in and out of modes/options so rapidly, who knows. But I like to avoid borderless when I can regardless as it has a performance impact even with good frame pacing.
So I opted for my usual magic combo for games where I know I am not hardware limited to get a solid 60fps but who's own internal frame pacing is whack: Fast-Sync with Rivatuner's Scanline Sync set to 1. I don't have time to delve into all the details of why this works so well right now, but basically it's a way to get great 60fps frame pacing on games that don't support triple buffering, but also get improved controller response over triple (and usually double) buffering to boot.
(Remember with Nvidia Inspector you'll have to create a new profile as the .exe is different from Borderlands)
VOILA:
I don't have an old save so we'll see when I get to nine-toes and get some elemental weapons like the video had, maybe that will cause stuttering. All I can say is at the start with my zoomed-in pistol and blowing apart skags, while also zooming into the ground so the particle effects fill the screen, didn't drop below 60fps at 1800p with 85% GPU utilization at the peak. Maybe the occasional hitch to 59fps momentarily, but otherwise a very solid 16.6/16.5 ms line in Rivatuner. I could probably even do 90% of 4K and get 60fps 95% of the time but again, elemental weapon effects usually are a big drain so I'll stick with 1800p probably.
Also, anisotropic filtering is disabled upon each game start. So just FYI set it back to 16X every time you start the game. Obviously a patch of two would help here.
Game looks fantastic btw, this is quite a substantial remaster.

Seems like a pretty solid 60fps so far for me with the 4K texture pack installed.
