Best Borderlands 4 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Borderlands 4 runs at roughly 67 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 44FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) is a strong 1440p graphics card with 16GB 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 67 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 44 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 72 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Borderlands 4, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	73	72
1440p	44	67
4K	25	61

💡 Borderlands 4: Unreal Engine 5 - notoriously heavy at launch; upscaling is basically required.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS

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.

Effects QualityHighbaseline

Gunfire and explosion effects - heavy in the loot-shooter chaos. Lowering smooths busy fights.

Foliage QualityHighbaseline

Plant and scenery density across the open zones. A real cost outdoors.

Material QualityHighbaseline

Surface shading detail, including the cel-shaded outlines. High is a clean trade.

View DistanceHighbaseline

How far detail renders. Mild pop-in when lowered.

Post ProcessingHighbaseline

Bloom, motion blur and depth of field. Cheap; set to taste.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
