Verdict

Well, except for Ultra quality, both GPUs are pretty close. On Ultra, the 130W rival is 15% faster which is a normal FPS gap given the TGP difference between these two video cards. Actually, both contenders are doing a good job when it comes to GTA V. You can save some money if you choose the 85W variant but if your wallet is big enough, the 130W GPU offers more performance in every other game on the market.

In the end, we can say that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (130W) brings better value to the table and it looks like a smart buy.
