日本[FPS Benchmarks] PUBG on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3060 (130W) – RTX 3080 is 37% faster on Ultra quality
When it comes to battle royale games, PUBG is one of the well-known titles. Just like every other game from this genre, the main goal is simple – you have to survive while playing on a huge map full of other players. Pick some weapons, find ammo, and try to hunt the others – sounds simple but in reality, it’s not that easy.
However, one of the reasons for the huge success of this game is the fact that it’s a light title. Even the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6 / 25W) can show 92 FPS on Low settings. In most cases, a good mid-range GPU is enough for Ultra settings but of course, if you need a crazy amount of FPS a high-end video card is the way to go. For this comparison, we have picked two fast Ampere GPUs – the GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3060 (130W).
Don’t forget to take a look at our Top 100 Best Laptops for PUBG list.
