Borderlands 4 benchmark on RTX 5090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RTX 5090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 109FPS min 75Good | 96FPS min 71Good | 74FPS min 64Good |
| High | 142FPS min 98Excellent | 125FPS min 93Excellent | 96FPS min 84Good |
| Medium | 185FPS min 128Excellent | 163FPS min 121Excellent | 126FPS min 110Excellent |
| Low | 240FPS min 166Excellent | 211FPS min 157Excellent | 163FPS min 142Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 31% | CPU 22% | balanced |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 5090. 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 5090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 109 | 136 | 158 | 231 |
| 1440p | 96 | 130 | 158 | 221 |
| 4K | 74 | 107 | 137 | 182 |
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 5090 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 5090 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.
Is the RTX 5090 Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RTX 5090 delivers 109 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 96 FPS and at 4K 74 FPS at Ultra quality.
