Borderlands 3 is partnered with AMD, so there are few graphical features exclusive to those running on AMD GPUs. This includes the following:
- Asynchronous Compute- Radeon GPUs multi-task commands, reducing bottlenecks and better framerates
- AMD FidelityFX – AMD’s proprietary software-side anti-aliasing tech
- FreeSync 2 HDR
- Multithreading of Command Buffers- For AMD Ryzen CPUs, improves the rate of commands sent to Radeon GPUs
If you have a modern laptop or PC, Borderlands 3 can definitely run on it.
The blog post on Borderlands’ official site also lists out all the PC settings available in the options menu. Good news: there is an FOV slider for normal and in-vehicle, plus resolution scaling and uncapped FPS- with the ability to cap it should you require it.
Borderlands 3 will be out on September 13th for the PS4, PC (Epic Games Store) and Xbox One.
