Watch Dogs: Legion DLSS

Giving gamers the opportunity to explore a massive urban open world and visit London's famous landmarks, Watch Dogs: Legion is a visual feast, but be warned, its highest settings murder even the best GPUs.

As Nvidia is keen to extol the virtues of raytracing being used alongside DLSS technology, we ran the same test, at UHD, with three levels of DLSS active - Quality, Balanced and Performance.

For now, Radeons cards score 0 because rival FidelityFX technology is not available until June 22 - but we will circle back and test it.

Regarding the RTX 3080 Ti, performance jumps from an average 40fps with solely RTX active to 61fps, 71fps and 80fps, respectively, at the three chosen DLSS settings. All three look good to my eyes.

What's equally relevant is that a GeForce RTX 3060 running with DLSS Performance is faster than an RTX 3080 Ti without. The image quality is not exactly the same, of course, but framerate is more key at those settings.
