Borderlands 4 is an action-adventure RPG with immense potential. It’s built using the Unreal Engine 5 and incorporates the Denuvo anti-tamper DRM. In terms of performance, there are several issues with the game. For starters, it can bring down GPUs such as the RTX 5080 to below 60 FPS at 4K on medium to high settings. In the case of the RTX 40 Series, you can use our optimized settings below to get the best performance, visuals, and frame time consistency.

With GPUs such as the RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4070, we suggest sticking to 1080p with the settings below. As of now, GPUs such as the 4070, which can easily tackle 1440p, in this game, sticking to 1080p is the way forward.

RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 TI users can opt for 1440p because these cards are still compelling. Without settings and 1440p, with DLSS Quality upscaling, there should be no problems at all.

With GPUs such as the 4070 Ti Super and beyond, you can push for 1440p with higher fidelity, as our settings state. GPUs such as RTX 4080 Super and the RTX 4090 can handle 4K, but our suggestion is to opt for native 1440p with DLAA instead of 4K.

At 4K, the game can bring down 80-class Nvidia GPUs at ease. Frame generation is kept off for the best input latency. Turning it off is an option; use it only when you have enough VRAM headroom.
