Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 5080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 5080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 96FPS min 69Good | 82FPS min 64Good | 59FPS min 52Acceptable |
| High | 124FPS min 89Excellent | 107FPS min 84Good | 77FPS min 67Good |
| Medium | 162FPS min 117Excellent | 140FPS min 110Excellent | 100FPS min 87Good |
| Low | 210FPS min 151Excellent | 181FPS min 142Excellent | 130FPS min 114Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 26% | CPU 15% | GPU 13% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5080. 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 5080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 96 | 120 | 139 | 204 |
| 1440p | 82 | 111 | 135 | 189 |
| 4K | 59 | 86 | 109 | 146 |
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 5080 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 5080 has headroom to spare in Borderlands 4: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 5080 Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 5080 delivers 96 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 82 FPS and at 4K 59 FPS at Ultra quality.
