Verdict

Okay, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) is always faster no matter the visual quality but we are talking about something below 10% (8%-9%) which isn’t the biggest difference out there. Yes, the 130W GPU is faster but not by much. This means that the 85W variant performs very well despite its hefty reduced TGP.
