[FPS Benchmarks] Warframe on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (105W) and RTX 3060 (100W) – the RTX 3080 is 26% faster
Warframe is definitely one of the good free-to-play games out there. It offers decent graphics (for a free game), the gameplay is fun and it offers a lot of content, and the sound quality isn’t bad at all. Warframe isn’t a heavy game, especially on Low – an Intel UHD G1 (with dual-channel RAM) will do the job. If you have s super fast high refresh rate monitor (like 300 Hz or 360 Hz) then you’re going to need something a lot more powerful than in iGPU.
For this article, we have prepared two decent GPUs whit almost identical TGPs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (105W) and RTX 3060 (100W).
