Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 4050 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 4050 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 31FPS min 28Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Medium | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Low | 76FPS min 67Good | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 45% | GPU 62% | GPU 83% |
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 3% 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 4050 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 35 | 44 | 51 | 75 |
| 1440p | 24 | 32 | 40 | 54 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 | 27 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4050 Laptop 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 4050 Laptop is what caps the frame rate in Borderlands 4. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 4050 Laptop Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 4050 Laptop delivers 35 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Borderlands 4. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 24 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
