Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 3080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 3080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 66FPS min 57Good | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| High | 85FPS min 74Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable |
| Medium | 112FPS min 97Good | 96FPS min 84Good | 65FPS min 57Good |
| Low | 144FPS min 125Excellent | 124FPS min 108Excellent | 84FPS min 74Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | balanced | GPU 39% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 Ti. There is 10% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. 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 3080 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 66 | 83 | 96 |
| 1440p | 56 | 76 | 92 |
| 4K | 38 | 55 | 70 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 Ti 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.
The RTX 3080 Ti and that processor are well matched in Borderlands 4: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3080 Ti Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 3080 Ti delivers 66 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Borderlands 4. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 56 FPS and at 4K 38 FPS at Ultra quality.
