Borderlands 4 test shows big frame rate drops, even with an RTX 5090 and 9950X3D

Early impressions of Borderlands 4 indicate performance challenges on PC, particularly in maintaining a steady frame rate even on high-end hardware. A video review showed that gameplay tested on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D struggled to consistently reach 70fps in certain areas. The game’s system requirements are on the higher end for contemporary 3D gaming, and while it features vibrant artwork, it demands significant GPU power for a smooth experience. Content creators reported performance slowdowns during intense gameplay, with one video showing an average frame rate of 120-130fps during exploration, dropping to about 100fps in combat, and further declining to 60-80fps after the initial boss fight. The integration of DLSS has raised concerns for gamers with mid-range or lower-end systems. Visual gameplay appears acceptable but includes occasional stutters, with significant frame rate drops during combat. Despite using the highest graphical preset, there are still options to enhance graphics settings, indicating that the top preset does not fully utilize maximum in-game settings.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is an embarrassment for an 80-euro game

Konami has released Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on PC, priced at €80. Initial performance tests show it runs adequately on high-end hardware, specifically the NVIDIA RTX 5090, but achieving Ray Tracing at native 4K/Ultra settings is challenging. The game is locked at 60FPS due to reliance on legacy code, and it lacks Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support and Frame Generation, which raises concerns about its value at this price point. While it performs better than console versions and supports NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, it does not support ultrawide displays. Keyboard and mouse controls function smoothly, and the game does not include Denuvo.
