[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (95W) and RTX 3060 (140W) – RTX 3060 isn’t too far behind

Contents

Borderlands 3 is somehow a breath of fresh air in terms of gameplay compared to the other shooters on the market. The title combines unique-looking graphics alongside implemented RPG elements, tons of weapons, and a lot of humor. The single-player campaign is really long and there are some DLCs that add even more content.

The game looks good and it’s not the lightest title when it comes to system reuìrement especially if you want to max out the visuals. Still, if you don’t need 144 FPS or even more, a modest GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 [Laptop, 65W] can deliver more than 60 fps on Badass quality. For today’s article, we’ll compare two fast Ampere video cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (95W) and RTX 3060 (140W).

Verdict

If you look at the table with the result above, you’ll notice that when the quality is visual quality is increased, the difference in FPS between the two GPUs is getting smaller and smaller. This is due to the bigger TGP of the GeForce RTX 3060 (140W) which leads to higher frequencies under load compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 (95W). Still, the bigger GPU is a good choice if you need a thinner high-end gaming device.
