[FPS Benchmarks] FIFA 21 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W) – both are close on Ultra settings
Every year there is a new FIFA game on the horizon that includes up-to-date info regarding the football teams and their players. Most of the time, you can expect updated graphics as well, speaking of which, FIFA 21 uses the Frostbite 3 engine (yep, just like Battlefield V) and it definitely looks good without being too greedy for the system resources.
In addition, the Ultra preset isn’t too heavy and even some inexpensive GPUs like the GeForce MX 450 (GDDR6 / 25W) can show more than 100 FPS.
So, let’s see how fast are these two mid-rangers – GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W).

| GeForce RTX 3060 [75W] | 240 fps | 228 fps |
Verdict
Well, if we have to be honest, we expected a bit more performance from the GeForce RTX 3060 [130W]. Sure, it’s 15% faster on Low settings, but the difference is reduced to just 4% when it comes to Ultra preset. This means that the 75W GPU is a worthy performer because it can show 228 FPS on Ultra and almost matches the performance of its bigger and more expensive sibling.
