Est. Read Time52 seconds

How to optimize your Graphics Settings for better performance and framerates on AMD graphics cards.

As PC gamers begin their Vault-hunting journeys in Borderlands 4, we've seen early feedback from the community surrounding graphics settings and how to achieve optimal performance.

These are the expected results for the Borderlands 4 PC Specs:

Minimum PC specs - 1080p @ 30 FPS with Low Preset settings

Recommended PC specs - 1440p @ 60 FPS with Medium Preset settings

Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC's performance has changed. If you're encountering any issues, please contact 2K Support for direct assistance.
