[FPS Benchmarks] Apex Legends on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 is 53% faster on Max details

Apex Legends is a real gem when it comes to popular battle royale games. The title is free-to-play, it has a large player base, the visual quality is definitely a good one (yep, this game looks better than PUBG), and the gameplay is simple but addictive.

Apex Legends uses the Source engine and is not the heaviest battle royale title on the market regarding system requirements. If you don’t mind Medium details, a modest GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6, 25W) is able to show around 87 FPS which is an excellent result for an inexpensive GPU like this one. For today’s article, we’ll compare two Ampere video cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
