FPS drops on high performance GPU
It looks like Im having problems with performance.
I have a bad FPS drops on 1080p max settings on:

Gainward GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 (Stock Clocks)
Intel Quad Core CPU (Q6600) @ 2.4Ghz
6GB RAM @ 800MHz (DDR2 400)
GIGABYTE n650SLi-DS4L
500GB HDD
Win 7 home premium x64


Though It should have running smoothly because the graphics are mid-end, the game engine lacks of Anitrosopic filtering on textures, and the shaders can be handeled by older graphics cards.

I heard rumors that the game is a pretty bad port for PC since its firstly released for consoles.
And there is no official patch yet.

can you help me?

This worked for me. It's a fix for Skyrim, but it works for Darksiders II.

Hello u can these options i have read that for many people worked, BUT not for me!
I have the same problem me game is lagging/shuttering like hell
LenovoY580
CPU:i7-3610QM
GPU:GTX660M
RAM:8GB
SSD:128GB
HDD:1TB
i should run on ultra setting... :(
Options what i have tryed:1. V-Sync + Triple buf. on-off
2. DirectX file from Skyrim (copied to SteamAps>Common>Darksiders2 folder
3. Max frame 1-4
4.Steam Cloud off
5. Windoved mode
6.Ambient Ocu. off (ingame)
7.Shaows off
8.Limiting FPS to 60,30 with Afterburner.
9. GPU Usage , the game is not even using me GPU usage is the same like running Windows, and i have even set in control panel to use the GPU but still not even sing of it to use it, tryed even to run 2 games the same time ,GPU usage jumped to its performance but not worked for darksiders II.
Evrything and still laging, mostly in open areas but in closed areas im getting more fps but stil lag. One thing that i could not find is V-Sync how to set to adaptive.Because mobile GPU are not supporting adaptive V-sync. In Nvidia Panel i have just Manage 3D Setting> Program Settings> Vertical Sync on or off or global.
Please help me
u.i: Latest Nvidia Driver and something more the game was running well at the begining until i reached the Makers.
