I was somewhat shocked when I saw that BL3, a 2019 game, barely even booted on my 2015 gaming desktop. BL1 and 2 were playable on my dirt cheap Dell Vostro laptop with integrated graphics, 4GB RAM and a low power Core i3 processor. I thought it was possible because the BL series' graphics are quite cartoony compared to the ultra-realism of something like Battlefield. But I'm looking at BL4's graphics and they mostly look....the same?

I can play Borderlands 3 pretty decently on a i7 7820 based laptop with Geforce 1070 graphics.

Borderlands 4 on the other hand...

By the way, blame Unreal 5. Every Unreal 5 game released recently runs like utter crap unless you have luck, godlike hardware or both.
