日本[FPS Benchmarks] Borderlands 3 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3070 (130W) – a 16% performance gap
Contents
Borderlands 3 is a unique-looking game because of the cell shading tech. Its cartoonish look isn’t something that you can see every day and that’s why this title feels a bit more unique than the other games on the market. On the other hand, if you want to enjoy the graphics of this game with all its glory, you’re machine must be equipped with at least a good mid-range video card.
Despite that, if your device struggles on max settings, you can lower the visual quality without losing too many visual details – Borderlands 3 looks just fine even on Medium preset. For today’s article, we have two GPUs that can eat this game for breakfast – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3070 (130W).
Let’s see what these two are capable of.

Verdict
As you can see, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) is 16% faster on average which is a normal performance difference for these two graphics solutions. Both contenders offer smooth gameplay even with maxed-out visuals. If your wallet is wide enough, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) will give you almost (because there are other RTX 3080s with bigger TGPs) the best possible performance on the mobile market.
But if you don’t care about the 16% performance gap, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (130W) can save you a lot of money.
