**Borderlands 4** includes *frame generation* to boost performance, but the feature often appears grayed out by default. To unlock it, players must adjust specific Windows settings before activating it in-game. Here’s how to resolve this issue and enable smoother gameplay.
Steps to Activate Frame Generation
Navigate to **Video Settings > Advanced Graphics** in the game. If frame generation is accessible, toggle it on. If not, follow the troubleshooting steps below.
Resolving Grayed-Out Frame Generation
-
Enable **Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling**.
-
Access **Advanced Graphics Settings**.
-
Select **Graphics** after scrolling down.
-
Go to **System > Display**.
-
Open **Windows Settings**.
After enabling these settings, restart your PC. Launch the game again—frame generation should now be available under **Advanced Video Settings**.
Additional Troubleshooting
If the issue persists:
- Ensure the game is fully closed and relaunched.
- Update your GPU drivers via **Nvidia GeForce Experience** or **AMD Adrenalin Software**.
- Activate **DLSS** (Nvidia) or **FSR** (AMD) in the upscaling menu—frame generation requires one of these.
