The Best Settings to Change on PC

Today we will help you improve Borderlands 4's performance through a set of sensible setting tweaks, and no, we are not just going to suggest enabling frame generation and calling it a day. We will explore every setting in the game and examine how each one affects both visuals and performance.

This will give you a set of optimal settings worth trying. Normally, we call these "optimization guides," but we honestly do not believe setting tweaks alone can bring this game to a truly optimized state. This is more of a "get things running a little faster and hope for the best" guide.

Borderlands 4 is a first-person looter-shooter RPG developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. This next chapter in the legendary game series introduces new planets, enemy factions, and an expanded arsenal of procedurally generated weapons. Players can tackle the story alone or in co-op, with a mix of fast-paced combat, character progression, and loot-driven exploration that continues the core formula the series is known for.

Released six years after Borderlands 3 in 2019, this entry is built on Unreal Engine 5, bringing technical improvements while maintaining the game's typical cel-shaded art direction. With UE5 Lumen real-time global illumination, the game delivers dynamic lighting and reflections across various environments, even without hardware ray tracing support. Borderlands 4 supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS for upscaling. Frame Generation is available for all three GPU vendors, too.

This review will evaluate the performance of Borderlands 4 across a wide range of contemporary graphics cards, compare image quality settings, and analyze the game's VRAM usage to provide insight into the hardware requirements needed for an optimal experience.

(note that a lot of users have complained about technical and performance problems which this reviewer seemed to minimally experience)
