[FPS Benchmarks] Warframe on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3060 (130W) – RTX 3080 is 31% faster on Ultra quality
Warframe is а popular title that is free-to-play as well. This means you can download it via Steam and start playing it right away. Warframe gameplay features some RPG elements and a lot of battles in different locations.
The visual representation is okay – it’s not super eye-candy, but for a free game the picture quality is fine. In addition, the game is light and you can play it on Low settings with some modern iGPUs like the AMD Radeon RX Vega 5.
However, if you want to see a lot more FPS on your high refresh rate display, a powerful GPU is a good idea. For this comparison, we’re going to examine the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3060 (130W).
