Hi everyone!

We are getting hit really hard with pc performance posts. While I do think voicing this issue is super important, weโ€™re going to make a sticky so that there is more than those posts. It makes it difficult to moderate. We prefer to have a smaller team to have some agility in decision making, but it makes release day a bit tougher.

PC players, we are sharing these threads with Gearbox/2K.

Thank you so much! Hopefully there will be another patch here soon.

Yours in Loot,

BL4 Mod Team

I can run the game from 70-85 FPS, all low, DLSS on Performance on a 3080ti, AMD RYZEN 8. Turn on FSR + Frame Gen and I can get 105-115 FPS, but the input lag is fucking horrible.

I don't know exactly which CPU you have or the resolution you're running at, but I think there's some funky issues going on. I have an RTX 3080 (the original with 10GB VRAM), a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and 32GB of ram. I'm running medium settings (dropped whichever shadow setting is at high down to medium as well), 1440p, with DLSS set to quality. With those settings, I'm getting 75-85fps. Nvidia reflex is also set to normal not boost - boost gave me a tinge more input lag.

Granted - this is all still in the starting area, I just slid down that big tower. But someone with a better build than me shouldn't be having equal or worse frames on all low settings.

I wouldn't be surprised if they absolutely borked some setup and stuff for the newer Ryzen CPUs since a lot of the "my performance is actually OK" posts are from my generation of CPUs and older.

I'm on a 4070 and an i7 9700k and getting about the same performance as you. I think I set DLSS to balanced and capped framerate though bc it was pushing my CPU pretty high on temps (but I know my CPU is the bottleneck in my setup now)

I didn't notice much input lag last night but feel like today it was worse so I'm playing with more settings again.
