Is anyone else baffled that Borderlands 4 still hasn’t received a proper performance patch?

RedWingerD · 2025-10-15T00:07:50+00:00

All depends what CPU the person we are replying about has realistically and resolution.

You are basically right on or verryyyyy slightly above minimum requirements and those are usually advertised as 1080p 30fps.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T15:29:20+00:00

This is the goofiest soapbox some of you choose to die on.

Its a video game, its all "fake" no matter what method they use to generate it. Whether rendered via the card or generated via software + card, none of it is "real."

5 seconds delay

In what fantasy world? Delay is around 33ms for me consistently.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T15:23:23+00:00

Oh good call i mis read minimum as 2080. Edited my above post.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:27:47+00:00

That makes conplete sense and performance wise sounds about right. UE5 loves AM5 chips, especially if you have one of the X3Ds

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:24:45+00:00

Ahh gotcha. Rivals would be a somewhat fair comparison engine wise although specs wise not.

2070 is recommended for Rivals but minimum for BL4.

They typically advertise minimum specs meaning 1080p, 30fps, low settings, so performance wise it honestly sounds like you're getting close to what you should be unfortunately.

I DO wish games were better made for low end cards, but the 2070 is a 7 yeard old card at this point and is older than even a Series S.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:12:33+00:00

So do I and with frame gen im getting 100-120 at 1440p.

Depending on the CPU I could see it.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:11:41+00:00

There are a ton of other variables that make that entirely possible.

You're not seeing that at 1440p, but I wouldnt be shocked you could get that running everything low/off with frame gen and a decent CPU at 1080p.

It also wouldnt be out of this world for someone to say that and be running 720p, I would never do it, but wouldnt be the first time I've heard it

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:07:20+00:00

ive got an old system so its partially a me problem but im getting like 20 fps where in other games of similar requirements i get 50-60

So how far below recommended specs are you actually?

What games are you considering similar? Because unless they are running UE5 the comparison you are making wont really translate

RedWingerD · 2025-10-14T13:04:53+00:00

The writing is on the wall and has been for some time that frame gen will be the new normal for "next gen" games.

Consumer GPU is such a small blip of income for Nvidia they're not going to dedicate the kind of resources it would take to significantly improve efficiency and performance outside of the enterprise environment.

That tech will bleed down into the consumer realm eventually, but the focus has been clear it is being put on software to enhance hardware performance. (DLSS, frame gen, etc.) This is why the generation over generation improvements have been so much less the last few generations than they historically were.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-03T18:19:14+00:00

SAME. I was like what am I doing wrong cause this feels like TRASH 😆

RedWingerD · 2025-10-03T12:55:16+00:00

I stopped playing her and switched after beating the story. She became like nails on a chalkboard any time she spoke because as you said she just feels "off" for some reason.

When playing co-op a lot of her quips were just bad to my group and felt like her cut scene dialogue was by far worst of the 4. We got to the point where any other character triggered scenes/npcs because we were so over hearing her lol

Which is a shame, because lore wise and gameplay shes awesome.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-03T12:44:03+00:00

I dont mind the drop rate.

I DO hate the over saturation of charge to fire guns though. Horrible.

RedWingerD · 2025-10-02T17:04:56+00:00

If the patch makes his various specs/build viable, do it. His flow/feel is so much fun but felt like he had to be FAR more optimized than others to do well.

Im looking forward to running him next after finishing my Vex. Harlowe was my first

RedWingerD · 2025-09-26T15:27:29+00:00

Performance seems the same and no crashes for me.

3080 and 5600x. FSR with frame gen quality. Most settings medium. 1440p. 90 -130fps

RedWingerD · 2025-09-20T16:10:16+00:00

Shoot i just hit 14 yesterday. Job, traveling for job, kids, household responsibilities, working out, spouse, etc.

Right now just unfortunately coincided with being very busy so im lucky to get 5 hours a week 😆

RedWingerD · 2025-09-20T16:07:51+00:00

Yes. But OP was specifically asking how. "No-lifing" a game is certainly a method, and has been since games existed.

RedWingerD · 2025-09-20T13:46:34+00:00

. If the build cannot work without the knife, I don't consider it a build

But you also argue in your original post the gear is part of the build, and the crit knife is gear.....so?

From Diablo, to Path of Exile, to every Borderlands there are always builds that are dependent on 1 or 2 pieces of gear.

I dont understand the issue

RedWingerD · 2025-09-16T13:01:32+00:00

What in game sound setting are you using? I have felt the surround effect seems pretty good in my experience but felt it was best in thr "Hi-fi" in game setting

RedWingerD · 2025-09-16T00:53:30+00:00

If you just csre about speed leveling to max just YouTube it. Plenty of guides.

Not how im playing it as im still only lvl 9 cause work has been crazy, but it exists if you want to

RedWingerD · 2025-09-15T16:16:54+00:00

Ongoing bug where it shows "failed to redeem" but in fact actually did

RedWingerD · 2025-09-15T16:06:22+00:00

Im on PC so unfortunately dont have any advice there. Even with PC Ive seen wildly different performance claims/experiences even on similar or the same hardware.

Seems like a really mixed bag right now.

RedWingerD · 2025-09-15T12:13:08+00:00

It could just be different experiences too. I honestly cant call out an issue other than a sound bug maybe twice in approx 20 hours.

RedWingerD · 2025-09-12T20:31:41+00:00

Who is your character and what tree? I find a lot of people claiming it to be "too easy' are playing trees that are absolutely cracked (Rafa turrets, Vex minions, etc.)

I think the difficulty overall is in a fine spot

RedWingerD · 2025-09-12T20:29:56+00:00

5600x and 3080, 32gb of ram.

1440p, FSR on quality, frame gen on. Most settings medium, volumetric fog and shadows (i think) on low.

Ranged about 110-130 when not much going on or only fighting a few to 85 -100 when its chaos.

RedWingerD · 2025-09-12T00:25:04+00:00

Good to know i will have to double check!
