[FPS Benchmarks] Grand Theft Auto V on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 is way faster

GTA V is a gaming blockbuster that definitely aged well. We saw the PC release of GTA V in 2015 and even today, the game looks and feels great. The thing that is keeping the player base alive is the multiplayer mode which regularly receives new content.

Visually, it looks good even in Normal settings (okay, if you aren’t too pretentious for visual quality). GTA V isn’t a demanding game but it needs more system resources when the visual quality is bumped to Very High or Ultra. However, a mid-range GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 [Laptop, 100W] is enough for more than 60 FPS on Ultra settings. For this article, we’re going to compare the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W),

Verdict

On Low, both GPUs are showing equal performance but on the other visual settings, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) is way faster compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 (55W). On Ultra, the bigger GPU has a 42% lead and this is a significant performance gap. On the other hand, the modest and cheaper GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] is able to deliver 115 FPS on High details and this should be okay for most people who need a device on a budget.
