Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 5080 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 5080 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 73FPS min 58Good | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 95FPS min 75Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Medium | 125FPS min 99Excellent | 95FPS min 83Good | 55FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Low | 161FPS min 127Excellent | 123FPS min 107Excellent | 71FPS min 63Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 14% | GPU 10% | 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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5080 Laptop. There is 13% 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 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 73 | 91 | 106 | 155 |
| 1440p | 56 | 76 | 92 | 129 |
| 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 5080 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 5080 Laptop 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 Laptop Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 5080 Laptop delivers 73 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 32 FPS at Ultra quality.
