Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 4090 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 4090 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 65FPS min 57Good | 54FPS min 47Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 84FPS min 73Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Medium | 110FPS min 96Good | 93FPS min 81Good | 55FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Low | 143FPS min 124Excellent | 120FPS min 105Excellent | 71FPS min 63Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 13% | GPU 49% |
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 4090 Laptop. 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 4090 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 65 | 81 | 94 | 138 |
| 1440p | 54 | 73 | 89 | 124 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 | 78 |
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 4090 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.
The RTX 4090 Laptop 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 4090 Laptop Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 4090 Laptop delivers 65 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 54 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.
