Borderlands 4 is incredibly demanding on modern hardware. GPUs such as RTX 3050, RTX 2060, GTX 1660, and other laptop GPUs with less than 6 GB VRAM struggle a lot with this game. Fortunately, with these settings below, you can easily play the game and have an enjoyable experience. You can also check out our Borderlands 4 PC performance optimization guide for better reference.

With the RTX GPUs, specifically the 20 series ones, we recommend using FSR as the upscaler over here. This is because DLSS 4 has a significant performance penalty. FSR won’t perform as efficiently as it does on AMD cards, but still, the performance will be monumentally better.

On laptop GPUs, such as the RTX 3050/2050 and RTX 4050, it’s better to use FSR instead, as the performance penalty from DLSS won’t be worth it. The image will look a bit blurry, but the frame rate will be a lot higher.

On GPUs such as the GTX 16 series, the only option you have is FSR. TSR can also be used over here. Depending on which one performs the best and gives the best image quality, use that on your desired GTX GPUs.

With AMD GPUs, using FSR is the recommended way to play Borderlands 4 with our settings. That said, on Intel GPUs, you will benefit more from XeSS upscaling. With the new iteration of XeSS, the image quality has drastically increased; however, there is a bit of a performance penalty, which an aggressive upscaling model can compensate for.
