[FPS Benchmarks] The Witcher 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W) – the 95W GPU is 25% faster on Ultra details
The Witcher 3 isn’t the newest game out there but despite that, it’s still very popular. One of the main reasons for that is the fact there are tons of mods for this title – some of them are adding new content while other can enhance the visual quality of the game. In addition, the game with its expansions offers a long single-player experience.
Visually, the game looks good even by today’s standards. The title isn’t hungry for video RAM and that’s why you can play it with a 4GB video card on Ultra settings if the GPU packs enough power under the bonnet. For this comparison, we have picked two entry-level NVIDIA Ampere graphics solutions – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W).
