日本[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W) – the 130W GPU is 16% faster
Contents
Borderlands 3 is a game that uses cell shading tech and Unreal Engine 4. The title definitely looks fresh and its unique visual style stands out among the other games on the market. In addition, the game may look cartoon-ish but it’s beautiful and when it comes to system requirements the game is a bit on the heavy side.
Yes, the Badass preset is no joke and if you want more than 60 FPS you’re machine should be at least a decent mid-ranger. So, let’s see what these two can offer – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (130W) and RTX 3060 (75W).
