[FPS Benchmarks] Cyberpunk 2077 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 (65W) is 67% faster on average

Like it or not, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the biggest gaming hits of the last few years. Sure, the title has its flaws (the initial version was full of bugs) and most of them are already fixed. On the other hand, Cyberpunk 2077 offers a unique gameplay atmosphere, beautiful graphics, a great soundtrack, and a really long single-player campaign.

As we said, the game looks beautiful and it’s not that heavy if you don’t use ray-tracing – 60 FPS on Ultra is possible on a mid-range GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 [Laptop, 140W]. For this article, we’ll compare two not-so-expensive NVIDIA Ampere GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 (65W).
