The upcoming looty, shooty gun-fest from Gearbox Software has been tailor-made to get essentially the most out of AMD Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs. Publisher 2K says Borderlands Three was “developed from the ground up with AMD”, which may imply, if all goes to plan, Borderlands Three will likely be one of many first AAA games to take advantage of out of AMD Navi silicon.
Borderlands Three will likely be constructed with Epic’s Unreal Engine 4. The massively fashionable game engine was up to date to model 4.22 solely yesterday, implementing early entry assist for real-time ray tracing and path tracing utilising Microsoft’s DirectX Raytracing (DXR), making full use of Nvidia’s RTX 20-series. But AMD, too, has been working intently to optimise its tech for the largest game engine going.
“Developed from the ground up with AMD, Borderlands 3 will take full advantage of the most powerful PC hardware available,” the press launch from 2K reads, “and is optimized for top performance and incredible gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen CPUs.”
AMD has a fame for delivering better DX12 efficiency than the inexperienced group’s competing architectures, and Vulkan efficiency has equally favoured AMD’s silicon.

Back at GDC 2017, Randy Pitchford first touted how Gearbox was leveraging enhancements with Unreal Engine Four for Borderlands 3. Previous titles within the Borderlands collection had been all first constructed upon Unreal Engine 3.

Nvidia has a fame for being very energetic in pursuing game builders and making certain its proprietary applied sciences are being utilised totally. The firm has been main the way in which in real-time ray tracing following the launch of the RTX 20-series graphics playing cards, with talks on ray tracing improvement dominating the corporate’s schedule over GDC and GTC 2019.
And it’s optimistic to see AMD furthering its personal cooperation with game builders. AMD labored intently with Ubisoft to develop Far Cry 5, and has partnered up with Ubisoft and Capcom for Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and The Division 2. These had been all included in bundle gives with AMD Radeon graphics playing cards purchases at launch.
Borderlands Three will launch on September 13, 2019. By that point we anticipate to have heard extra from AMD concerning its upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs and AMD Navi GPUs, or, if a 7/7 launch date is to be believed, we’ll have all that new GPU and CPU tech put in in our rigs and able to game on by the point Borderlands Three exhibits up.
And it could be fairly good to get a free copy of Borderlands Three with each AMD Navi graphics card buy, wouldn’t it? But I’m getting carried away…
