Graphics Settings

• The first settings screen has mostly monitor related options
• Window mode options are "windowed," "fullscreen" and "borderless"
• You may enable an FPS counter in-game, optionally with additional detail showing GPU frametime and ping latency
• The FPS cap can be set to either 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 FPS
• V-Sync can be disabled completely
• The field of view range goes from 70 to 110 degrees, with the default at 90. I found 90 a bit too narrow and prefer 100

• The second screen called "Advanced" deal with more hardware related settings
• The graphics presets available are "Low," "Medium," "High," "Very High" and "Badass"
• Anti-Aliasing can be disabled when you select upscaler "Disabled"—it looks terrible
• Upscaling methods available are: "Disabled," "DLSS," "FSR," "TSR" and "XeSS"
• "Spatial Upscaling Quality" can only be enabled when FSR is used as upscaler, it offers a bit of additional performance at the loss of quality
• "Scene Capture Quality" controls how the in-game map and menus look like
• Frame generation can be enabled only when the appropriate GPU is installed. For NVIDIA this is expected, but AMD FSR and Intel XeSS works on all GPUs—not in Borderlands 4. I guess the developers weren't aware of that fact
• In addition to that, there's an excellent amount of additional options to fine-tune the performance
• You can disable motion blur completely

Test System

• All cards used for comparison are Founders Edition / reference design. If a reference card does not exist, we use the closest model to ensure default clocks and power limit
• We tested the public Steam release for Borderlands 4, including the day one patch that was posted shortly after release
• Our benchmarking scene uses real in-game gameplay in an outdoors location.
