[FPS Benchmarks] CS:GO on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3060 is 29% faster on average

The Counter-Strike games are probably one of the most popular titles of all time. The main reason for that is the addictive and simple gameplay that is well-accepted by different generations of gamers (the first game was released in 2000). CS:GO went free-to-play which is good news for everyone, you just need a Steam account and that’s all – the game can be played even on a potato device without a dGPU – an Intel UHD Graphics Xe 750 (32EU) can show almost 100 FPS, of course, on Low settings.

Still, if you need much higher FPS values for your fast refresh rate display, your machine should be at least a decent mid-ranger. For this article, we’re going to compare two good Ampere GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
