The new GeForce RTX 30 series cards nearly double this average frame rate though, so there is a pretty big jump up in performance on cards from yesteryear versus the new models. Not bad for a card that was released in 2016. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition card averaged 68 FPS and the 0.1% low was only 50 FPS. Most all recent desktop graphics cards are able to run this title with ‘Very High’ image quality settings at acceptable frame rates.

DLSS was not enabled as we plan on using these numbers later this month when the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards come to market. We also took a look at Ray Tracing enabled with the quality set to high. The game maker also now has a separate category for those with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards that highlights what you can expect with Ray Tracing and DLSS enabled.įor our testing we are going to look at 1080p, 1440p and 4k with very high settings on 12 difference graphics cards from both NVIDIA and AMD. They cover 1080p low, 1080p high, 1440p high, and 4K ultra settings. Ubisoft released recommended PC specs for Watch Dogs: Legion and it is pretty detailed.

Now that the game has been out now for nearly two weeks we thought that’d we’d do some benchmarking with the hopes that the results are still valid by the time we get everything ready to be published. They also have rolled out more patches since then. Well, we are glad we waited as Ubisoft deployed a launch day patch for PC users that delivered performance improvements. Spending a day or two running benchmarks on a dozen different graphics cards at all sorts of resolutions only to have them invalidated before they are published is rough. The game has a built-in benchmark that we wanted to try out, but we wanted to wait for the first wave of patches to hit before we tested a big stack of desktop gaming graphics cards. Watch Dogs Legion came out at the end of October as the third installment in the open-world action-adventure game series by Ubisoft.
