Finding the best Borderlands 4 settings for PC is a tricky job right now, as the game is in an ongoing battle with performance issues across all platforms. You may well be struggling to achieve a stable frame rate even if you have the best graphics card from our buying guide installed in your gaming PC.
The Borderlands 4 system requirements aren't unreasonably high, but players with gaming PCs of all levels are struggling to get good performance in Gearbox's latest looter shooter. That includes us, as during our first Borderlands 4 test, we found that our rig performed poorly, failing to hit an average of 60fps with 45fps 1% lows at 1080p or 1440p when using the medium graphics preset and DLSS upscaling. However, a new Borderlands 4 update has been deployed, and while it doesn't bring a magic fix for performance, there are some minor improvements that are a step in the right direction.
