AMD's Borderlands 3 Trailer: CPU and GPU Optimizations and Free-to-Play Bundles

AMD has released a new trailer dedicated to Borderlands 3. The fact is that the company actively cooperated with Gearbox Software and made a number of optimizations. What's more, buyers of eligible AMD Radeon RX graphics cards can look forward to a bundle of "Get in the game fully armed". They can choose between Borderlands 3 or Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint along with a 3-month Xbox Game Pass for PC. By the way, when choosing Borderlands 3, owners of AMD chips will receive an in-game skin for the AMD Echo Device, and if they prefer Breakpoint, they will get a T-shirt with the AMD logo.

A similar promotion is valid for members "Armed to win", AMD Ryzen processor purchase programs. However, in this case, the user is given the choice of the co-op shooter Borderlands 3 or the RPG The Outer Worlds (you can even get both games as a gift) along with the same 3-month Xbox Game Pass for PC. AMD specifically reminded that Xbox Game Pass includes access to more than 100 games, including a new action movie. Gears 5, which is also received optimizations for AMD chips.

But back to Borderlands 3. AMD recalled that the game received support for multi-threaded command buffering technology, which allows processor instructions to flow faster to the graphics accelerator, preventing the latter from being idle. This results in improved performance and lower latency on the Ryzen 3000 series processors. In addition, FreeSync 2 HDR frame synchronization technology is fully supported for the smoothest environments with wide dynamic range.

In addition, Gearbox has implemented support for AMD's FidelityFX set of high-quality post-processing effects. They automatically break different effects into fewer shader passes to reduce load and free up GPU resources. In particular, FidelityFX combines Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening (a special sharpening filter that brings out details in low contrast areas) with Luma Preserving Mapping (LPM) technology to increase the quality of the final picture.

AMD promises that in DirectX 12 mode, users of the Radeon RX 580 and RX 590 graphics cards can expect 60 frames per second at 1080p and medium quality settings. To get the same effect at maximum quality settings, you already need an RX Vega 56 accelerator. Finally, at 1440p resolution at high quality settings for 60 fps, a Radeon RX 5700 XT, RX 5700 or RX Vega 64 graphics card is already required.
