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 3080 [130W] | 308 fps (+1%) | 285 fps | 260 fps (+13%) |
| GeForce RTX 3080 [85W] | 306 fps | 285 fps | 230 fps |
Verdict
On Low and High details there is no actual difference between the two GPUs. On Epic Quality the 130W chip is 13% faster which is okay but the 85W rival can show 230 FPS and that is more than enough for most gamers unless if you own a device with a 240 Hz or even faster display. Even so, the 85W GPU is still fast enough if you aren’t too pretentious.
