日本[FPS Benchmarks] Overwatch on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – both perform well but the 75W GPU wins the match
Overwatch is a popular online shooter developed by Blizzard. The game has fun and challenging gameplay and the visual quality is good. Still, the game isn’t too heavy and in most cases, a decent mid-range GPU should do the job if you don’t need super high FPS values.
Speaking of FPS, even an iGPU like the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 [R4000/5000, 15W] can achieve 73 FPS on Low quality so, most of the nid-range dGPU should show much higher scores. For this article, we have picked two decent not-so-expensive video cards – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W).
Don’t forget to take a look at our Top 100 Best Laptops for Overwatch list.

Synthetic benchmarks
Results are from the 3DMark: Fire Strike (Graphics) benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Results are from the Unigine Superposition benchmark (higher the score, the better)
Gaming tests and gameplay videos (ext. monitor)
| Overwatch | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) | Full HD, Epic (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 3050 Ti [75W] | 218 fps | 182 fps (+12%) | 139 fps (+22%) |
| GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] | 232 fps (+6%) | 162 fps | 114 fps |
Verdict
Expectedly, the 75W GPU is faster. On Low settings both rivals are pretty close but further down the road, the bigger GPU is 22% faster on Epic quality thanks to its bigger TGP and more CUDA cores. However, the GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] performs very well for a GPU with such a degreased power limit – it scores 114 FPS on Epic quality which should be enough for the majority of players.
