Gearbox's latest shooter faces significant performance challenges despite recent patches addressing stability concerns. YouTuber MxBenchmarkPC demonstrated substantial frame rate gains across multiple graphics cards through careful setting adjustments. The optimized configurations deliver up to 40% better performance while maintaining visual quality comparable to the maximum presets. Testing covered hardware ranging from current RTX 5080 cards to older RTX 3060 models using various upscaling technologies.
Performance issues sparked public disagreements between frustrated players and Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford. Pitchford advised users struggling with 4K resolution to consider 1440p alternatives or utilize DLSS upscaling features. The debate escalated when one player challenged the studio to create visually appealing games without the use of artificial intelligence enhancements. Pitchford responded by suggesting critics develop their engines to demonstrate superior methods. The game launches across PC and current console platforms, with Nintendo Switch 2 availability scheduled for October 3.
