[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W) – the 95W sibling is 19% faster
Contents
Borderlands 3 brings some freshness among the first-person shooter genre because of its fun gameplay with implemented RPG elements, good soundtrack, and nice visuals thanks to the cell shading tech. The title has a long single-player campaign full of main missions and a lot of side quests. In addition, the game has a lot of DLCs if the base game isn’t enough for you.
As we said, the game looks good but it’s not the lightest title out there. Low and Medium quality aren’t that heavy, but for more than 60 FPS on Badass quality, you’ll need a decent machine. For this comparison, we’ll check the performance of two NVIDIA Ampere RTX graphics cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W).
