[FPS Benchmarks] Shadow Of The Tomb Raider on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – the 65W GPU is 28% faster on average

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider still looks very good and it offers gameplay full of a large number of main and side missions, a lot of gunfights, puzzles, and a good storyline (just like the predecessor – Rise Of The Tom Raider). There are some DLCs as well if the base game’s content isn’t enough for you.

This is not a light and it’s hungry for video memory as well. However, the game looks good even on Medium settings so if you don’t mind a bit decreased visuals, you can play this game with a not-so-expensive GPU. For example, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 [Laptop, 75W] is enough for almost 70 FPS on High details. For today’s article, we’re going to compare two good GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
