Skip Intros.
Navigate to My Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/Willow Games/Config/ and open WillowEngine.ini, find the following lines,
StartupMovies=2K_logo
StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
StartupMovies=NVidia
StartupMovies=Loading
ConfirmSkipMovies=MegaIntro
and change them by adding // at the front,
//StartupMovies=2K_logo
//StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
//StartupMovies=NVidia
//StartupMovies=Loading
//ConfirmSkipMovies=MegaIntro
then save and close.

Remove black outlines/cell shading
Navigate to My Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/Willow Games/Config/ and open WillowEngine.ini, find the following line
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.WillowScenePostProcess
Either change it to
DefaultPostProcessName=EngineMaterials.ScenePostProcess
or
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.RyanScenePostProcess
The first option will only remove the black outlines, the second option will remove both the black outlines and cell shading. This provides a reasonable performance improvement too. The following comparison demonstrates the difference.

Downsampling.
Downsampling is a technique in which the game is rendered at a much higher resolution than the monitor is capable of displaying and then the picture is downsampled to match the display's resolution. By doing this anti-aliasing is applied to everything in game, but at the cost of fps. Nvidia users without sli and running standard resolutions can use DSR to perform downsampling or by creating a custom resolution in nvidia control panel to enable higher resolutions in game. AMD users have access to something similar, though without an AMD system I am unable to test this (comment below and let me know). Finally users that are running sli or multi monitors can use another method to downsample and get rid of those jaggies. Choose the method below that best suits you and follow those instructions.
