Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 30FPS min 27Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor | 9FPS min 8Unplayable |
| High | 39FPS min 35Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Medium | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 34FPS min 30Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Low | 66FPS min 58Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 52% | GPU 68% | GPU 86% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Borderlands 4, it is not worth it. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Borderlands 4 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 30 | 38 | 44 |
| 1440p | 20 | 27 | 33 |
| 4K | 9 | 13 | 17 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 3050 is what caps the frame rate in Borderlands 4. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3050 Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 3050 delivers 30 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Borderlands 4. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 20 FPS and at 4K 9 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
