日本[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – the 75W GPU is 25% faster on average
Contents
Borderlands 3 is a fun game that has interesting gameplay with implemented RPG elements and its visuals look fresh and different thanks to the cell shading tech. In addition, Borderlands 3 has a long single-player campaign and a lot of DLCs if you want some additional content.
Visually, the game looks great, especially on the Badass preset. However, the game isn’t very light when you want to greatly increase the visual quality. For maxed-out visuals and high FPS values, a powerful machine is a must. For this article, we have prepared two not-so-expensive GPUs – the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W).

Verdict
The good news is the game is playable with both GPUs even on Badass quality. Other than that, the 75W GPU is 25% faster on average so the bigger rival is a good choice if the price gap between the two laptops isn’t significant. However, you can save some by choosing the GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] and this GPU performs well too – it scores 40 FPS on Badass quality which is just fine for a video card of this caliber.
