The next important option – predictably – is resolution. We hope that over time Gearbox will improve performance in DX12 when this feature comes out of beta, but at the moment the old API is the most recommended for most users of the PC version. We have found that using the old API provides at least the same performance as DX12, but is often seen as much as 7% improvement in comparable situations. On the other hand, if you want to run the game with high frame-rates and your limitation is in the CPU, DX12 is better. In our mid-range equipment with an Intel Core i5 8400 processor and a GTX 1060, the graphics card is the main bottleneck, and therefore it is better to choose DX11. Generally, if you are not limited by the CPU, DirectX 11 offers better results than DirectX 12. After several tests, we have found pros and cons for each API. The first big decision in terms of graphics options is to choose between running the game with DirectX 11 or the experimental option with DirectX 12.
#BEST BORDERLANDS 3 IMAGES 1080P#
Can Borderlands 3 be played at 1080p and sixty frames per second with a mid-range PC? The truth is that, indeed, it is possible to achieve it with some tweaks in those options, and the best of all is that you will not lose much graphic quality when doing it. Gearbox, in any case, has published the game with a series of graphic options that we can modify, as well as compatibility with the DX11 and DX12 APIs. Historically it has also been an easy title to move around with a PC, but there is a general feeling that Borderlands 3 is not as well optimized as its predecessors. Borderlands 3 PC: six tricks to improve performance without compromising image qualityĪlthough Borderlands is a franchise especially known for its success on consoles, the series is best played on PC thanks to the keyboard and mouse interface and a typically higher frame-rate.
