That doesnt seem so bad. Borderlands 3 which was released in 2020 required GPU was 1060 which came out in 2016 (so 4 years apart)
Borderlands 4 Min is asking for 20xx which came out in 2018.
Recommend is asking for a 30xx which came out in 2020 (the same year that Borderlands 3 came out, so 5 years) and now we're on 50xx which came out this year.
You cant expect 4 to be the same as 3. The difference in recommended for Borderlands 4 is 5 years compared to Borderlands 3 which is 4 years.
Sounds like you need to upgrade.
edit: The 50% of steam users from surveys may be a bit skewed, there's been a huge uptick of new steam users from the last couple or so years (due to COVID, how Playstation/Xbox changed, etc) who are likely new to PC gaming and dont have a up to date or mid tier level gaming rig.

Looking at the specs, I'm good for my current rig (4070 SUPER, 32 GB and Ryzen 7 7800X3D) in terms of recommended.
I wonder how far I can push it out to in terms of resolution and FPS since I prefer 4K and have been playing higher framerate than 60.
