Gearbox has finally revealed all the details about the PC version of Borderlands 3.
PC gamers will at least need an AMD FX-8350 or an Intel i5-3570 with 6GB RAM to run this beast, although that’s very reasonable for modern standards. Although 16GB of RAM and a more modern CPU is definitely preferable. And with only a GTX 1060 needed to run 1440p graphics, it’s actually very attainable for most PC fans to get the best experience, even on a budget.
Gearbox has also revealed that the game will support both DX11 and DX12, giving a fair bit of wiggle room overall on the GPU front. And with support for AMD’s new FidelityFX enabled, the overall visual quality should be stable and rather beautiful.
In other news, Borderlands 3 is teaming up with Fortnite for a new crossover event. So if you’re a fan of battle royale titles, you may want to hop into that Epic title to get a little extra Borderlands 3 spice in your life.
