    Verdict

    On Very Low and Medium settings both GPUs deliver similar performance but as soon as the High preset is applied things are getting different. On High, the 130W video card is 15% faster and on Badass, it can show 22% more FPS compared to its 85W sibling.

    The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (85W) isn’t slow by any means, 79 FPS on max visual quality is a respectable result too.
