[FPS Benchmarks] Need For Speed Heat on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) – the bigger GPU is over 30% faster
Need For Speed Heat is the successor of Need For Speed Payback and it uses the same game engine as the older game. Speaking of the engine, the title looks good and it offers some decent places to look at while racing.
The Frostbite 3 engine is well-optimized and this game runs just fine on not-so-powerful GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6 / 25W) at least on Low settings. Let’s put aside the low-end dGPU and focus on two powerful Ampere graphics solutions – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W).
