Contents

Borderlands 3 is a fresh-looking game because of the cell-shading technology. Just like the previous games from the series, you can expect gunfights with a lot of enemies at the same time, tons of different loot, a super-long single-player campaign, and…Claptrap.

For today’s article, we will compare two RTX GPUs with decreased TGPs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
