Can the NVIDIA RTX 4080 run Borderlands 4? (2026)

✅ Yes

~60 FPS at 4K with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 4080 is a flagship 4K-class card with 16GB of VRAM, and Borderlands 4 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU it averages about 60 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 45 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	132	131
1440p	79	78
4K	45	60

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 131 FPS, at 1440p about 78 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Borderlands 4. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
