[FPS Benchmarks] Rocket League on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) and RTX 3060 (65W) – the 95W GPU is 29% faster on High Quality settings
Rocket League became even more popular as soon as it went free to play. The title offers a fun gameplay experience – it’s something like football (soccer) with cars. The decent graphics and the good soundtrack contribute positively to the whole gaming experience.
The good news is that the game isn’t too heavy when it comes to system requirements. In most cases, even some low-end dGPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6 / 25W) are enough powerful to show more than 100 FPS on High Quality preset.
Still, for this comparison, we have prepared two mid-rangers that can push the FPS number way over the 100 FPS mark – the GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) and RTX 3060 (65W).

GeForce RTX 3060 [65W] | 405 fps | 293 fps |
Verdict
On High Performance, both GPUs are pretty close but on High Quality, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (95W) is showing its muscles because of its higher frequencies and bigger TGP. However, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (65W) can deliver almost 300 FPS with maxed-out visuals and that will be probably enough for the majority of players.
