[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on AMD Radeon RX 6800M and RX 6600M – the bigger GPU is 45% faster on maxed-out visuals

Contents

Borderlands 3 is a game that has fun gameplay full of action-packed scenes, an interesting story, a decent soundtrack, implemented RPG elements, and of course – tons of weapons. The graphical representation is spot on because of the cell-shading tech that’s why Borderlands 3 has a unique look.

When it comes to system requirements, the game scores somewhere in the middle – not too heavy but it’s not as light as some games like CS:GO for example. For 60 FPS on Badass preset, you’re going to need a decent amount of firepower.

For our article, we choose two fast AMD RDNA 2 GPUs – the AMD Radeon RX 6800M and RX 6600M. Let’s see the actual performance difference between these two is while benchmarking with the aid of Borderlands 3.

Verdict

On Very Low and Medium details, the two rivals are showing almost virtually the same performance. However, on High and especially on Badass details, the Radeon RX 6800M is clearly faster compared to the Radeon RX6600M. If you plan to play with the best possible eye-candy visual quality, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M should be on your shortlist, if money isn’t a problem.

If 60 FPS on max visuals is enough for you, the Radeon RX6600M can offers decent performance alongside a lower price tag.
