Borderlands 2 SA build in South Africa

Borderlands 2 is a 2012 looter-shooter that runs at very high frame rates on modern hardware, so an SA build for it easily clears high-refresh targets while leaving room for newer games.

Quick Answer

Borderlands 2 runs at 150-240 fps at 1080p Ultra on a R15,000 SA build with a Ryzen 5 7600 and an RTX 4060. The 2012 game is light, so this build also runs current titles at 1080p-1440p Ultra, making it a strong all-rounder.

Why Borderlands 2 Is Easy To Run

The 2012 Unreal Engine 3 title is undemanding by modern standards. An RTX 4060 pushes Borderlands 2 past 150 fps at 1080p Ultra, and even integrated graphics handle it well. The CPU load is low, so a Ryzen 5 7600 has ample headroom for the four-player co-op the game is known for.
