Borderlands 4 PC Performance Analysis: Terrible Optimization and Technical Issues

2K Games unveiled Borderlands 4, powered by Unreal Engine 5. The benchmarking setup included an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor and various graphics cards, including NVIDIA's RTX 4090 and AMD's RX 7900XTX. The game features adjustable graphics settings and supports technologies like NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4.0, and Intel XeSS 2.0. Borderlands 4 lacks a built-in benchmark tool, and testing showed it to be one of the most demanding non-path-traced games. At 1080p with Badass Settings, only the NVIDIA RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 achieved 60FPS, while at 1440p, only the RTX 5090 exceeded 60FPS. No GPU maintained smooth performance at 4K, with the RTX 5090 averaging 40FPS. Lowering settings to Medium was necessary for playable 60FPS at native 4K. Visuals did not justify the high GPU requirements, and players reported glitches, including missing sun reflections and low-quality terrain textures. Grass pop-in issues were noted, linked to Unreal Engine version 5.5.4.0, with potential improvements in version 5.6. Console users faced similar performance challenges.
