BL2 is an Nvidia game and since AMD cards don't support PhysX, the effects are being processed by your CPU. Your CPU is ridiculously weak in comparison to your 290. For better performance, turn PhysX down or off.

I'm just wondering how you ended up with this ridiculously imbalanced PC.

You must be on this website all the damn time. xD
I remember when you didn't have a ridiculous amount of posts and you weren't a GM.

Anyway, basically what he said just for a little more confirmation if you need it. Upgrade your CPU and you will see a big improvement.
