Borderlands 3	Full HD, V.Low (Check settings)	Full HD, Medium (Check settings)	Full HD, High (Check settings)	Full HD, Badass (Check settings)
GeForce RTX 3080 [130W]	131 fps (+2%)	119 fps (+5%)	109 fps (+15%)	96 fps (+22%)
GeForce RTX 3080 [85W]	129 fps	113 fps	95 fps	79 fps

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.
