On a AMD RX 7700 XT (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Borderlands 4 runs at roughly 68 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 51FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 7700 XT is a strong 1440p graphics card with 12GB of VRAM, and Borderlands 4 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs well at 1440p — about 68 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 51 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 83 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
