[FPS Benchmarks] Shadow Of The Tomb Raider on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W) – RTX 3050 Ti is 19% faster on average
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is a game that brings to the table an intriguing storyline full of gunfights and riddles. The game has a good soundtrack and the graphical representation is very good. Unfortunately, that comes at a price – the title is heavy especially on High and Highest presets.
In addition, the game is hungry for video memory as well so GPUs with less than 4GB VRAM are in trouble if you want to bump the visual quality above Medium. For this comparison, we have picked two good GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (75W) and RTX 3050 (55W).

Verdict
The GeForce RTX 3050 Ti [75W] is 19% faster on average compared to the GeForce RTX 3050 [55W]. Nothing wrong with that – the 75W GPU has more CUDAs and a bigger power limit. We are happy to see that both GPUs can score more than 60 FPS on High quality which is a good result for GPUs with 4GB of video memory. The GeForce RTX 3050 [55W] is a good performer that costs less – it scores 41 FPS on Highest preset which is okay for a single-player game.
