No card can maintain a 60-frames-per-second average with Ultra graphics options enabled, and the game allocates more than 8GB of memory even at 1440p. We disable those effects for this testing but Legion remains a strenuous game even on high-end hardware with its optional high-resolution texture pack installed. Ubisoft upgraded its Disrupt engine to include cutting-edge features like real-time ray tracing and Nvidia’s DLSS. Watch Dogs: Legion is one of the first games to debut on next-gen consoles.

Check out our full GeForce RTX 3060 Ti review for deeper insight into our methodology. We’ve also enabled temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) to push these cards to their limits when it’s available. 2x 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SSDs ($70 each on Amazon)Įach game is tested using its in-game benchmark at the highest possible graphics presets unless otherwise noted, with VSync, frame rate caps, real-time ray tracing or DLSS effects, and FreeSync/G-Sync disabled, along with any other vendor-specific technologies like FidelityFX or Hairworks.Corsair Crystal 570X RGB case, with front and top panels removed and an extra rear fan installed for improved airflow.EVGA 1200W SuperNova P2 power supply ($352 on Amazon).64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4/2933 ($355 on Amazon).EVGA CLC 240 closed-loop liquid cooler ($105 on Amazon).Intel Core i7-8700K processor ($300 on Amazon) overclocked to 5GHz all-core.Here’s a list of what’s inside our GPU test system, which was built to minimize potential bottlenecking in other components, putting the full brunt of the tests on the graphics card itself:
