Best Borderlands 4 settings for the Intel Arc B580 (2026)

On a Intel Arc B580 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Borderlands 4 runs at roughly 64 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 65FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 12GB 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 64 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 64 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Borderlands 4: Unreal Engine 5 - notoriously heavy at launch; upscaling is basically required.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSOff
Borderlands 4 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - the launch build is very demanding.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM. Ease off on 8GB cards.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the single heaviest setting. High over Epic is a big FPS win.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Lumen reflections on shiny surfaces. High is a clean trade.
