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

On a NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (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 43FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB 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 43 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 71 FPS at 1080p and 67 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 60 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Borderlands 4 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Borderlands 4 (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS plus Frame Generation. Practically required - the launch build is very demanding.
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.
