[FPS Benchmarks] Need For Speed Heat on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (95W) and RTX 3060 (140W) – surprisingly, RTX 3060 wins

Need For Speed Heat still looks good in 2022. The visual quality of the game is really nice and we’re happy to see that the title looks just fine even on Low settings. This game uses the Frostbite 3 engine like some Battlefield games. The optimization is okay because the game isn’t that heavy.

Speaking of optimization, it looks like a 4GB GPU is enough even for Ultra settings. For example, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 [Laptop, 55W] can deliver around 60 FPS with maxed-out visuals which is showing that the game isn’t heavy at all. Still, people with fast refresh rate displays maybe will need a lot more FPS. For today’s article, we’ll compare the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (95W) and RTX 3060 (140W).

The only real advantage of the GeForce RTX 3060 (140W) is its much bigger TGP which allows the GPU to boost much high under heavy load compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 (95W) which has a decreased TGP which makes it suitable for thin gaming machines.
