Borderlands 4 How to Turn on Frame Generation

**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

  1. Enable **Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling**.

  2. Access **Advanced Graphics Settings**.

  3. Select **Graphics** after scrolling down.

  4. Go to **System > Display**.

  5. 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.
