[FPS Benchmarks] Warframe on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 (65W) is 27% faster on High quality
When it comes to free-to-play games, Warframe is a good example of how a game like this one can offer a lot of in-game content and at the same time, gamers don’t have to pay for playing this title. Warframe isn’t as beautiful as Metro Exodus or Crysis 3, but the graphics quality is just okay for a game like this one.
On the other hand, one of the main pros of this game is the fact that it’s light and you can even play it with some iGPUs like the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 [R4000/5000, 15W] with more than 50 FPS on High quality. For today’s article, we’re going to compare two inexpensive GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
