[FPS Benchmarks] CS:GO on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3080 (130W) – the 165W GPU is 31% faster on average

If you are a gamer probably you have heard of CS:GO, maybe you have played a couple of rounds with friends, or maybe you like the game and you play it regularly. All Counter-Strike games are popular and even the old CS 1.6 is alive and kicking even today.

The main reason that CS:GO is so successful is the core gameplay formula that isn’t too much changed compared to the first game and yes, CS:GO went free-to-play. The good news is the game is light and you don’t need a powerful device to play it. A not-so-expensive 2GB GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (35W) is fast enough for around 140 FPS on MAX quality. For today’s article, we’ll compare two fast NVIDIA Ampere video cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3080 (130W).
