Borderlands 4 benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Borderlands 4 FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 24FPS min 21Poor | 15FPS min 13Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| High | 31FPS min 28Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Medium | 40FPS min 36Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Low | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 62% | GPU 76% | GPU 90% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the RX 590 in Borderlands 4 the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR 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 RX 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 24 | 30 | 35 |
| 1440p | 15 | 20 | 25 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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 RX 590 is what caps the frame rate in Borderlands 4. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 590 Enough for Borderlands 4?
The RX 590 delivers 24 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Borderlands 4. This GPU is not enough for Borderlands 4 at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 15 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
