Thank you for the awesome response! I did some steps on my own to help. I found I was one release behind drivers on my cpu, Wi-Fi, and gpu. I got those updated. I went into my nvidia settings and ran a test to optimize for borderlands. Solo play is running well without any frame drops.
My memory shows as 14.3/27.4 gb while actively playing the game. Seems like ram could definitely help! I’ve already got some on the way. Ddr4 32gb (16x2) 3600 which should be here in a few days.
Hopefully all these combined changes help!
This probably is irrelevant but since I went down this rabbit hole I finally took the time to learn how to migrate my os from my hdd to my sdd. Was way in over my head but got it worked out eventually
