日本[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.
