We only tested this feature on cards that have dedicated Ray Tracing cores for those that are curious why some models went missing in this chart.

So, you are taking a good sized performance hit by enabling Ray Tracing. Cards like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 went from averaging 100 FPS down to 58 FPS on average with this feature enabled.

When we enabled ‘High’ Ray Tracing features we found the performance took a pretty big performance hit. It looks like we are hitting a bit of a CPU bottleneck at this resolution on the GeForce RTX 30 models. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is the sole AMD card that we tested and it came in with an average frame rate of 96 FPS, which was only 1FPS behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. 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.

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.
