Suprisingly demanding at the higher image quality settings.
Looks like it's about time to start saving up for a new GPU.

Same - Fury doing badly these days :'( Same kind of results as Gears 5. Then again it's UE4 so there's plenty of ways to claw back some performance without dropping visuals too much such as tweaking memory allocation in the game engine settings as well as shadows which is usually the big hit on performance.

I'm waiting for Big Navi or rDNA2 though so will have to make do with lowering some settings in the meantime.

Borderlands 2 ran bad as well, it's the Developers.

No need to buy a new GPU.

I've been a fan or and enjoyed playing BL1 and BL2, but I have been surprised at how relatively poor the performance is at higher resolutions in BL3 (based on reviews). It doesn't look like a game that isn't playable on Ultra at 4K, at least not to me. I honestly expected that anything in the GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon VII range would be flirting with 60 FPS at 4K. :/

The Ultra Preset in BL3 is quite bad.
There are several settings that can be tweaked without visible downgrades and increased fps ranging around +50-100%.

The worst setting is Volumetric Fog.
Running it at Medium can increase fps drastically and there is no visible difference.
