On a Intel Arc B570 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Borderlands 4 runs at roughly 74 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 55FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc B570 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 10GB of VRAM, and Borderlands 4 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 74 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 55 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 74 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 54 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
