hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus donna it is something like seven or eight a.m. i'm not sure i've been up all night because Borderlands the pre-sequel just came out and I was benchmarking it these are two AMD cards let's get rid of one of those and make it a bit more even so I've got a lot of video cards behind me a lot of them let me just emphasize there are more video cards than I can presently count bit early but that's part of it so we've got a 980 extreme and a 270x right now and a lot of other ones and what I did was benchmark Borderlands peace equal as I do with every major triple a title launch what you need to know is this the game has very optimized graphics settings it runs pretty much on every video card that it's very uninteresting in terms of benchmark performance but that's okay if you actually want to play the game and play it with high settings because it'll run well so the 250 x is our bottom line card for this benchmark and it is performing at about 60 FPS average with ultra settings with max settings 60fps it's 90 FPS when you're playing it at about medium settings which is a both of these are things that I configured I configure these settings custom for the benchmark so it should be pretty optimized and I talked about that in the full article link to the description below but the 250 x is a 75 to 90 dollar card and it's playing this game at basically playable settings if you want to play on ultra with a guaranteed 60 FPS at 1080p this card is really heavy guaranteed 60fps 1080p then you're probably going to want to look into the 750 ti which as I've said it then every other one of these reviews it is the best value for gaming and the 270x is also very good it's very competitive in price with the 750 Ti so look between us 270x at the 750 ti now Borderlands it is optimized specifically for nvidia and runs and videos physics so if you like the explosions and rag doll effects and things like that physics gives you an advantage of in Borderlands you should probably be leaning towards Nvidia the effects aren't that huge of a difference it's not a deal breaker for me I'd buy whatever fits your budget best and gives you the performance you want depend on if your multi monitor or singer single monitor it's easy but at the end of the day for Borderlands if you're playing single monitor 1080p and you want to play on medium settings you don't care about Max just get either a tooth DX or a 750 and you're good you will be able to play that game on medium settings all day long the problem if you want to play on a basically max settings sands 16 x AF I set it to 8x and I sub an isotropic filtering you'll probably want to 750 Ti whether 270x anything above that is way overkill and in the hundreds of FPS as you can see in the benchmark so that's really all I have to say about the borderlines benchmark check the link in the description below for full details and i will see you all next time peace
