[FPS Benchmarks] Ghost Recon Breakpoint on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – the 65W GPU is 52% faster
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint offers a close gameplay experience to its predecessor – Ghost Recon Wildlands. The main protagonist (Anthony “Nomad” Perryman) is sent to an island and he and his team have to investigate some strange disturbances that have happened. You can roan the whole map freely and as always, there are a lot of gunfights.
Graphically wise, the game looks good and it’s not the heaviest out there – a mid-ranger like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti [Laptop, 95W] can deliver more than 70 FPS on Ultra quality. For today’s article, we’re going to inspect the performance differences between two good graphics cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W). Let’s see which one is faster when it comes to Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

Verdict
That was kind of expected – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) is 52% faster on average compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 (55W). Still, Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn’t a heavy game but it is hungry for VRAM and that’s why the GeForce RTX 3060 [65W] has the upper hand (plus the extra CUDAs, ROPs, etc). However, the cheaper GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] can show 64 FPS on High quality which should be enough if you need something on a budget.
