Borderlands 3 is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is a sequel to 2012's Borderlands 2, and the fourth entry in the main Borderlands series. Borderlands 3 was released on 13 September 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Badass preset, DX12 API.

Our first game of the day is Borderlands 3, with the RX 6900 XT delivering some excellent results in this AMD title. At 1440p, it delivers an average frame rate of 121FPS, which is exactly equal to the RTX 3090, but the AMD GPU does do a bit better in terms of the 1% lows. This result puts it 15% ahead of the RTX 3080 and 9% ahead of the RX 6800 XT.

At 4K, it is still neck and neck with the RTX 3090, but again the 1% lows are a little better. We can also see the 6900 XT is still 15% faster than the RTX 3080, and now 11% ahead of the 6800 XT.
