[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).

Verdict

On Low, the smaller GPU has the upper hand but both are close to the 500 FPS mark so it’s not a big deal. On High, the bigger GPU is 31% faster but given the price of this thing, the GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) with its 315 FPS on High looks like a great deal for the money.
