For Honor is still a decent-looking game no matter the fact that this title was released back in 2017. The game isn’t the heaviest title on the market when it comes to system requirements, but you know the drill – for multiplayer mode more FPS isn’t a bad idea at all. At least in most cases, it’ll lead to smoother gameplay.
For today’s comparison, we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3080 (85W) in front of us. Let’s see how fast these two are.

Verdict
Not bad at all, the 130W GPU is 33% faster on average compared to its 85W sibling. That’s a big performance gap and if you plan to play For Honor regularly (and if money isn’t a problem) the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) could possibly be on your shortlist.
On the other hand, the 85W GPU can deliver 158 FPS on Extreme quality and this should be enough for most people.
