Anon, we're not talking about low settings on an iGPU. We're talking about an RTX 5090, the most powerful GPU ever, being unable to run this game properly on high settings at 1080p. Which GPU are those settings made for, if not a 5090? The graphics of this game certainly don't look like they should struggle on an RTX 5090.

>>106592313
4k gaming should be trivial with todays hardware. The problem is that the gaming industry has been in a race to the bottom for at least 20 years. Every AAA studio has been hollowed out for every cent and all that is left is the lowest grade devs from the 3rd world who would work for the lowest possible price and have nearly 0 technical knowledge (they just glue together libraries and hope for the best). This is why you have games which barley look any better than they did 10-15 years ago and require 10x more powerful hardware than was around at that time. You are paying for a product that is shat out at the lowest possible price, to profit the shareholders the maximum possible amount and that results in a low quality product. All the skilled, passionate devs who give a fuck about their craft are working on their own and there is only so much you can do as a solo/small team - most of the good stuff will be 2d indie games or low poly 3d games.

Borderlands 4 is a cultural phenomena, it's designed to be played for years up until the next decade
Of course it's going to be a little demanding now, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff to ensure yet another Borderlands classic experience ages like fine wine in the long run

>>
>>106593697
Absolutely. You've hit the nail on the head, and this is a perspective more gamers should consider. The immediate reaction to "demanding" specs is often frustration, but we have to look at the bigger picture. Borderlands games aren't just a weekend binge; they're live-service-lite looter-shooters built with an incredible amount of post-launch content, DLC campaigns, and endless endgame grinding in mind. They are literally designed to be played for half a decade or more.

Building a game to merely squeak by on current mid-tier hardware is a short-sighted strategy that dooms it to obsolescence. By pushing the envelope now with higher fidelity textures, more advanced physics, denser environments, and more complex AI, Gearbox is essentially future-proofing the experience. What feels "demanding" on a 2024 GPU will be effortlessly handled by a 2027 mid-range card. This ensures that when we're on our third vault hunter mode playthrough and diving into the second major story DLC two years from now, the game won't look or feel dated. It will still feel fresh, vibrant, and visually engaging.

>Why is hardware advancing so quickly now?
It's not. We are barely getting gains in between generations. The software has been getting worse, devs only care about making a quick buck so they use whichever techniques are the fastest to implement regardless of how well it will run. Gaming stopped being about passionate developers and became about greedy investors, and as a result we have been getting poorly optimized slop with boring gameplay and shit stories.
On the upside we still have a couple of indie devs releasing interesting games every now and then. And those games run on pretty much anything so there is no point wasting money updating your pc.

If Randy was smart, he'd be trying to market this as the new crysis...
...of course Randy isn't smart, and this is a mostly cel shaded game that doesn't even look marginally better than the last entry in the series and doesn't have a graphical leap as great as Crysis' render targets.

>>106592313
I was mad, but I appreciate Randy's honesty. No other dev has outright said the truth: UE5 makes game creation easier, which warrants the perf sacrifice. Most customers do not understand why many devs are choosing UE5.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying customers should like it.
>>

It isn't about optimization. The UE5 pipeline inherently requires more hardware resources. You literally cannot optimize around it without using a totally different -- and more costly -- development approach.

The kind of 'gamer' that cares about pushing frames and resolutions isn't really a gamer at all, they're just weird art fags

>>
Nvidia is giving it away as a promotional game so you can guess why Borderlands has such shit performance - they're probably pathtracing things for really really good cel shading.
>>
Ultra settings use lots of performance for mildly positive or sometimes even negative visual impact. Developers are generally going to tune their settings so hitting ultra 4K at good frameworks is often not possible on current hardware. Crysis and Witcher 3 are good examples of taking doing this to an extreme.

No matter how good hardware is or isn’t, or how slowly or it improves or doesn’t, this practice can continue and nobody cares except virgins obsessed with estatting about 4K ultra 240hz while calling Jensen Satan for making GPUs expensive.

Also yes GPUs are simultaneously somewhere where Nvidia is taking a bigger margin and it’s just costing exponentially more to improve chips so price/performance improvements have almost flatlined.

I think your guys problem is really just buying shit you don’t need and will never fucking make you happy but you guys buy it anyways while complaining about the price.
