Borderlands 4: How Is Performance Now That Denuvo Has Been Removed? (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F / 32GB DDR5 RAM / NVidia RTX 4060 8GB / NVME SSD After the update if I turn off DLSS frame generation I am still getting 40-45 FPS on average or so just like it before the update that removed Denuvo.

I'm curious to hear if the stuttering has stopped (or anything else) with Denuvo gone and what remaining issues exist. Listing your GPU/CPU/RAM and the resolution you play at, along with the problems you're still having would be useful. Thx.

Performance was never the issue with Denuvo for me. That build-in destruction bomb WAS the issue for me. The fact that you pay for a game that can be ripped out of your hands at any minute, completely at the whim of the publisher/developer is far more damaging than any bad performance. Performance can most times be fixed by tweaks, but a game that has turned into a unresponsive inert blob of…

I'm getting like +20 FPS, but it's been so long since I played it's hard to know how much of that difference is general optimizations over multiple updates or improvements from Denuvo not running. It's not a big improvement, game has always ran fine for me. The game now drops my FPS to like 60 when I'm on the main menu or go into any UI, seems to be some sort of power saving feature, but it…

Performance After Denuvo Removal

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Although since I have only 75Hz monitor, that's the FPS limit I've set in the game's options.
