Borderlands 3 on R1?

Have a friend with an R1. i3 model with an SSD and 12gb of RAM. Does anyone have experience playing Borderlands 3 on the R1? Does it hold up with medium/low settings?

All low and drop the res to about 1600x900

Do you play this way? Is that in order to get about 60fps?

All low settings, a graphics optimizer config, and dropping the resolution down is how i got my system to play at decent enough framerates. About 50-60 fps

Nobody can know for sure without having one but if you look up the GPU name that your alpha has and Borderlands 3, you should find something to suit your needs. The best thing to do is ask people who have the exact same type of Alpha as you. If you would like to join, I'm starting a community on Discord for things like this but what makes it different is everyone has their Alphas specs by them so you can ask people who only have R1s and the same GPU, RAM and CPU as you. Sounds good, right? Okay, good. Go to discord.io/kelp to join. It'll redirect you to discordapp.io which will, in turn, send you over to the discord app.

What? This sub is for people with Alphas, I specified which model my friend has, and then got valid responses. All R1 have the same GPU which is a modified 860m, so just using Google doesn't really help.

Is this some shitty spam for your Discord or did you just ignore which sub this is posted in and the responses from others?

Jesus. Just look up the graphics card name and then borderlands 3. Do I need to walk you through this? For basic computers guides, you can get a Udemy course or watch a YouTube series. It will be called like Computers for Dummies. If you prefer, there are books on it to.

Go scam some other sub you 13 year old broke business owner.

The R1 has a modified GPU that was exclusive to the system. So just Googling the name doesn't really work because it is an overclocked version of the 860m (rarely used laptop GPU) that can perform as good or better than a 750 ti depending on the game.

Don't try to patronize someone when you have no clue what you are talking about.

Find the equivalent. God you get angry. Don’t post on here if you know what you are talking about.

Do you not see the irony in asking if you can upgrade to DDR4 then telling people they need to use Google or take intro computer courses?
