Ubisoft detailed Watch Dogs: Legion recently, where Digital Foundry’s good friends ran the London-based open-world game on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. Check it out:
In his Watch Dogs: Legion practice time, Digital Foundry may have been using the most powerful graphics card he can buy on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, but he was unable to handle the game at 1080p and nothing more than 30 FPS. Ubisoft had blocked the preview version of Watch Dogs: Legion at 30FPS, for some stupid reason.
Nothing Digital Foundry could do would raise it above 30 FPS in the much more playable 60 FPS region. The outlet notes that Ubisoft is using SSR (Screen Space Reflections) on certain types of surfaces, such as rivers, etc., but is using SSR in the preliminary version of Watch Dogs: Legion, but this could change in the final version with plot of rays reflections
I still don’t know about the game, it still doesn’t look as good (at least in some parts) as the original Watch Dogs in 2014, before the developer diluted it. I wrote a full editorial on that, something that sounds much truer today.
Watch Dogs Legion launches on October 29, 2020.
