Disable Physx manually and FPS drops EASY FIX 2025

[GamerXxX9000]

This works for both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequal.

Go to: C:\Users\"YourUserName"\Documents\My Games\Borderlands The Pre-Sequel\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini > Open WillowEngine.ini

Ctrl+F Search for PhysXLevel=3

PhysXLevel=3 > Change the value to PhysXLevel=0 save then exit.

*Note after changing these settings don't change the setting later from the game launcher or inside the game or it will reset and enabled PhysX again just be aware of that.

You can also just use DXVK and play with PhysX on medium to high, depending on your GPU. However, if your GPU doesn't support PhysX, I would recommend turning it off while still using DXVK for better performance nonetheless. Additionally, it can even help fix the out of memory crash that occasionally happens, at least in my experience.

I'm have 9800X3D + RX 7900 XTX 24gb It's actually brute forcing physX it works well most of the time but ofc sometimes when it gets intense It dips alot like from 240fps to 30fps also since I got the Ultra HD Textures I'm starting to get the Out of Memory crash but I will try this command -dxvk this time.

btw can you explain how to use dxvk?

DXVK isn't a command; it's a translation layer for graphics APIs. It translates DirectX 8–12 games to Vulkan. didnt notice that you are the same guy from the other disscussion lol, i told you there how to install it, ill copy paste it here again:"no, dowload dxvk here is the link: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases just Grab the d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll from the x32 folder in the dxvk-2.5.3.tar.gz
file you downloaded, and copy them to the game exe location. The location is Borderlands2/Binaries/Win32
The game should now run in Vulkan instead of dx9, if you know how to use msi after burner to monitor fps and other stuff, you can also make it display what graphics APIs is being used to see if you did everything correct and vulkan is being used, but you should not need to do this since you almost cant do anything wrong isntalling it." if you dont understand something you can ask me, and tell me if it worked for you.

by the way 30 fps isnt much since my r5 7500f also gets stable 30fps when it gets chaotic, if i remember correctly with physx, ill try it out again to see if im not missremembering it. i think you can get like at least 40 maybe up 60 fps stable when also using dxvk and physx, since your cpu is like the best there is rn lol.
i would not recommend to use the ultra hs textures since they have some bugs in them that make them in many cases worse looking than vanilla textures, but idk if its was only for bl2 the case or also for bl tps, but you do you. i also used them a while but uninstalled them bc needed some save space on my ssd. oh and if you decide to keep the texture pack, as i said in my first comment dxvk fixes the out of memory crash.

I think I can get away with it like that it dips to 30fps but as soon as I get away it turns back to 240fps but yeah whatever it's not worth all the extra effort tbh unless we get an official update fix, But ofc I appreciate the effort tho I will try it out now for sure thank you !

okay i did bencahmrk now bl2 with physx on high with dxvk and non dxvk, dxvk does not improve performance for phsyx when running on cpu. perforamnce is about the same with or without dxvk. then i did benchmark bl2 without physx set to low/0 and tehre dxvk gave me around 100 more avarage fps and 40 fps in the 1%lows, so with out dxvk i had around 210 avarage fps, with dxvk it was something like 315 avaraage fps, in the 1% lows it was 90 without dxvk and 130 with dxvk. so if you care about theses kind of fps then i would use it but it sadly does not improve phsyx performance when running on a cpu, did not test if it helps when runnuing on gpu since you have and amd gpu it does not mattar rn. so i would say use it if you care about the fps when playing without physx and if you have the out of memory crash then i would strongly recommend to use it.

yeah i get that, and np.

I conducted a benchmark for Borderlands 2 with PhysX set to high, comparing performance with DXVK and without it. DXVK does not improve PhysX performance when running on a CPU; the performance is roughly the same whether DXVK is used or not.

Next, I performed a benchmark for BL2 with PhysX set to low or off. In this case, DXVK provided a significant boost—around 100 more average FPS and 40 FPS in the 1% lows. Without DXVK, I had approximately 210 average FPS, while with DXVK, the average FPS increased to about 315. In the 1% lows, it was 90 FPS without DXVK and 130 FPS with DXVK.

If you care about these kinds of FPS improvements, I would recommend using DXVK. However, it does not enhance PhysX performance on a CPU. I didn't test whether it helps with GPU-based PhysX, but since you have an AMD GPU, that's not relevant at the moment.

So, I would suggest using DXVK if you prioritize higher FPS while playing without PhysX enabled. Additionally, if you're encountering out-of-memory crashes, I strongly recommend using it (I only ran the benchmark once for each test, so the results could be inaccurate. However, to be honest, I don’t think that’s the case given these kinds of FPS differences. I could have run the benchmarks two or three times, but I just didn’t have the motivation to do it, lol.).

Well yeah I think I was just using DXVK wrong I just needed more time to do the shader compilation and it works amazingly now in both games BL2 and BL the Pre Sequal.

Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about the shader compilation stutters. I should have mentioned that, but it seems like you figured it out yourself. It just needs to do that once, and after that, there won't be any stutters anymore. It's good to know that you got it working and that it works great for you!
