Gearbox Software’s looter shooter series has always been fairly accommodating when it comes to specifications. Thankfully, Borderlands 3 continues that trend. Along with minimum and recommended specifications, the developer also outlined the various graphics options that could be enabled.
Minimum specifications include an Intel i5-3570, 6 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 with 2 GB. Recommended specifications include an Intel i7-4770, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB. The former is to run the game at 1080p resolution, while the latter is for 1440p resolution gaming.
Whatever your hardware set-up may be though, a whopping 75 GB of hard drive space will be needed for the game. In terms of graphics options, it’s possible to have an uncapped frame rate or a custom FPS limit of 300. FOV sliders are included, along with HDR support.
