Gearbox has just revealed the official PC system requirements for Borderlands 3. According to the team, PC gamers will at least need an AMD FX-8350 or an Intel i5-3570 with 6GB RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 7970 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680.
Gearbox recommends for gaming at 1440p an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or an Intel i7-4770 with 16GB of RAM. Surprisingly enough, the GPU requirements appear to be lower than anticipated. Thus, the team recommends an AMD Radeon RX 590 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card.
Gearbox has also revealed that the game will support both DX11 and DX12. The game will also require 75GB of free hard-disk space. Moreover, Borderlands 3 will be one of the first games supporting AMD’s new tech, FidelityFX.

75 gigs? lol
How else would they fit Pitchford’s ego in the game?
includes magic tricks
Like girls squirting ?
That’ll be all the locked DLC already in the game no doubt.
Ahaha there’s good chances!
No PhysX = EPIC FAILURE!
Maybe the game is big in content, zones, etc. Because I can’t imagine 75GB in cel-shading textures.
Nah, just the truth.
Why would I need to hate on a sh*t game you nigerf*ggot? Randy ‘The Van is always full of Candy’ B*tchford already detroyed his own carreer and his game. He is a joke just like you.
Go back to Pedotera then jew f*ggot, why did you even bother coming here?
that’s a nice options menu.
The most played series on my steam account is back. I will wait for a slight price drop as I got my fingers burnt with the presquel, only game in the series I didnt like
Damn that’s an impressive list of settings. Day one on the Epic Games Store.

So… BL2 with Texture Pack and Reshade now needs i7-4770/16GB RAM/GTX 1060 6GB?
Amazing optimization yup… Oh and btw game is POWERED by AMD and… and GearFlop says: RX590 = GTX 1060?! WTF?!
C’mon RX590 = GTX1070, Nvidia dropped some last minute cash on GearFlop.
Reminds me of AC3 and situation where GTX460 was better that HD5870 and sometimes HD5890, later on it was all thx to Nvidia and .dll and crap coded to game, files, .exes etc.
Another AMD fanboy with buyer’s remorse.
Unreal Engine 4. also HD5890 does not exist.

I guess compression really has died.
When using a “modern” engine and the only obvious thing your new game has compared to the previous is that is 10 times bigger.

I am still wondering if there’s going to be any mission about retrieving mysterious flash drive?
Nice! Damn it has even a DX12 path, huh interesting. Can’t freaking wait for the 13th my body is ready m/ 🙂 m/
This game might be worth something after it comes to Steam, but the info on the game recently is a cesspool. It is funny to me that certain groups think that a robot has a gender. It is a robot! Lol
oh, thanks to god, my very old i5 3570+16gb ddr3+gtx 1080 8gb still can playing this with ultra maximal in 1080p 60fps… 🙂
