日本[FPS Benchmarks] Dota 2 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W) – the 95W one is 16% faster
When it comes to some of the most popular games, Dota 2 is for sure one of them. As you may already guess, the game is so popular because of the successful gameplay formula. The title uses Valve’s Source engine, it looks good, and it’s light as well.
The good news is, you can play Dota 2 with the aid of some of the least powerful iGPUs on the market (of course, on Low settings). For example, the Intel UHD Graphics Xe 750 (32EU) can show 129 FPS on Low settings, which is a great result for such a modest integrated graphics solution. For this article, we have picked two decent RTX GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W).

Verdict
At the end of the day, the 95W GPU is 16% faster on average which sounds like a normal performance difference given the specs of the two GPUs. The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti [95W] is fast enough even for 144 Hz displays if you don’t mind Medium or High quality. The GeForce RTX 3050 [75W] isn’t slow at all, it can deliver 145 FPS on Medium which seems like the sweet spot for this GPU if you have a 120 Hz or 144 Hz panel.
