日本[FPS Benchmarks] Warframe on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W) – the RTX 3080 wins
Warframe is an online third-person shooter with RPG elements. The game is free-to-play and can be acquired via Steam. The graphics quality of Warframe isn’t the greatest but for a free game, the overall detail is fine.
Most importantly, this title isn’t heavy and you can play it with inexpensive dGPUs like the GeForce MX250 (10W) or even with some low-end uGPUs as Intel UHD G1 (on Low settings). For today’s comparison, we’re about to examine the performance of two powerful GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W).
Don’t forget to take a look at our Top 100 Best Laptops for Warframe list.

Gaming tests and gameplay videos (ext. monitor)
| Warframe | Full HD, Low (Check settings) | Full HD, High (Check settings) |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 3080 [165W] | 641 fps (+32%) | 404 fps (+7%) |
| GeForce RTX 3070 [140W] | 486 fps | 377 fps |
Verdict
So, on Low, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) is 32% faster which is a serious difference. More interestingly, on High, the gap is reduced to just 20% on average if we look at both preset results. However, it’ll be really strange to buy a powerful device with one of these two GPUs and to play Warframe on Low. On High, both siblings are delivering more than enough FPS even for gamers with 360 Hz displays. This leads us to the fact that the GeForce RTX 3070 (140W) is the better buy when it comes to price/performance ratio.
