[FPS Benchmarks] Dota 2 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (75W) – the RTX 3050 Ti is 20% faster
Dota 2 is one of the most popular Valve games ever. It’s a MOBA game and back in the day it was a Warcraft 3 mod but after some time it evolved to a full game. Dota 2 remains one of the most played Steam games in their STEAM & GAME STATS chart.
The game is light and that’s one of the main reasons for the popularity of the title. The game runs even on most of the modern iGPUs and some low-end dGPU like the NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (25W) is good enough for 104 FPS on Low settings. For this comparison, we have prepared two decent Ampere mid-rangers – the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (75W).

Verdict
It looks like both GPUs are decent products. The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) is around 20% faster on average (and almost on any preset) compared to RTX 3050 (75W). The bigger GPU is suitable for 144 Hz displays no matter the visual quality as well (of course regarding Dota 2). The smaller one is a good compliment for a 144 Hz panel on Low or Maybe High details.
