    Enable DirectX 10 for Borderlands in Windows 7

    If you're running Borderlands on a Windows 7 platform, chances are you aren't actually running the game in DirectX 10. Why? Who knows. However, there is a very easy fix that will switch to the DirectX 10 render path and a few tweaks that will give you more visual eye candy to gawk at.
    1. Go to the directory --> C:\Users\[Your user Name]\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config
    a. Find the file WillowEngine.ini (make a copy and rename it as a backup)

    2. Find the section [SystemSettings]
    Change the following settings to True, you will see if you are currently in DX9 as well.

    - AllowD3D10=True (this is the key one to enable the DX10 render engine)
    Also change the following

    - MotionBlur=True

    - DepthOfField=True

    - Bloom=True

    - UseHighQualityBloom=True

    - FogVolumes=True

    All of these steps come to us from a user-posted comment on Shacknews.
