Contents
Borderlands 3 is a title that brings some freshness to the genre (first-person shooter). It has a unique visual style because of the cell shading tech. The game can offer a good storyline that is really long especially if you want to complete all the side missions.
When it comes to system requirements, the game isn’t that light if you want to see its maximum visual quality with at least 60 FPS. For this comparison, we have chosen two entry-level RTX GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (75W).

Verdict
Well, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) have won the match but RTX 3050 (75W) isn’t slow by any means. The slower GPU can show 46 FPS with max-out visuals which isn’t bad at all for a video card that has just 4GB VRAM. On the other hand, if the prices are close enough, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) is a good choice.
