[FPS Benchmarks] The Witcher 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (75W) – the bigger GPU is 15% faster on Ultra
The Witcher 3 isn’t a new game but it still looks decent despite it was released for PC back in 2015. The title is a pure PC game (it was ported later for consoles) and the optimization is good – the game is light and it doesn’t need too much video memory for Ultra details.
Even low-end GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6 / 25W) can achieve 42 FPS on High settings which is a good example of how light the game is. For this comparison, we have picked two decent Ampere GPUs – the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (75W).
