Your guns and stuff look fine, but the wider environment has no anti-aliasing and no other special effects to speak of. Unsurprisingly, Very Low is really quite ugly. As such, aiming for Badass isn't necessarily the be all and end all for those looking to get the best performance - as you can see from the images below (click to expand). The only difference is that Volumetric Fog and Screen Space Reflections are simply set to High on Ultra, whereas Badass bumps them up to Ultra like everything else. In fact, save for two settings (Volumetric Fog, which controls how much fog there is in a scene, and Screen Space Reflections, which is all to do with the quality of the game's reflections), they're both exactly the same. I should also point out that, at the other end of the graphics settings scale, there isn't actually that much difference between Ultra and Badass. Sure, it may not look particularly pretty, but if even my old AMD Radeon R9 270 card can manage an average of 50fps on Very Low at 1920x1080, then older HD 7000 series cards should definitely be able to cope with the game as long as you lower the resolution slightly. That gives us quite a bit of room to play with when it comes to getting the best settings for Borderlands 3, especially when it comes to getting it running on lower-end PCs.

In the Advanced tab of Borderlands 3's Visuals menu, you'll find six different graphics presets: Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Ultra and Badass. If you're here trying to get the best frame rates and the best performance, read on.

As you can see from the specs boxes below, the minimum PC requirements include graphics cards that are at least eight years old right now, so even slightly ageing PCs should be able to get the game up and running at a reasonable speed.

Last but not least, I've had a look at what AMD's image sharpening FidelityFX tech brings to the table as well. Still, while we're waiting for Gearbox to finish putting together the game's next big patch, here's how to get the best Borderlands 3 performance for the time being.īelow you'll find the best settings for getting the most from Borderlands 3 on PC, and I've also been testing Borderlands 3's performance in both DX11 and its DX12 beta mode to see if there's actually any benefit to switching which version of DirectX it runs on.

While last week's hotfix patch squashed a couple of performance-related issues, a proper solution for getting rid of things like stuttering and its DX12 load time problems has yet to materialise. Borderlands 3 may have been 2K's fastest selling game in the history of forever, but it sure hasn't been very quick about fixing its various performance problems over on PC.
