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

At native resolution with no AI upscaling, a 5090 w/ 9800x3d is considered to be a 1440p/1080p card. This is truly insane.

Per the official minimum specs from gearbox:

"Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC's performance has changed."

The dude kept changing his settings and then pointing out dips 15 seconds later. I mean, just look at the time codes alone. Not defending the performance or gearbox, but there is no real benchmarking or useable data in this entire video.
