Watch Dogs: Legion updated PC requirements (including RT) released
- Thread starter Xando
- Start date
Ouch. I guess next gen consoles targeting 1440p-4k dynamic at high settings maybe with a no/tiny amount of ray tracing.
Holy cow. Man RT without DLSS is going to be either really low quality on consoles, or running at 30 FPS max or most likely both).
Even on PC it looks like DLSS balanced or performance is going to be it for RT even on high end GPU's (unless you're doing 1440p or under).
At least right now. I wonder if in the future ray tracing can be more optimized? Maybe improvements on denoising and other parts of the pipeline can improve performance without impacting quality too much? Otherwise we're stuck waiting for more and more powerful ray tracing hardware in the future.

I think they just put the amount of VRAM the card they're recommending has
It's the amount the card has. While it was still 2080ti for rec it said 11.
They did.

This is a cross-gen game and they're recommending PCs with twice the power of the next-gen consoles? What the fuck?
This almost seems like more of a marketing gimmick to trick people into thinking this is a "truly next-gen" game. And then everybody can be amazed at how "well optimized" it is and how well it runs on hardware that's not up to these "recommended" specs.

I was thinking the same thing.
Still hoping though that what they were showing were only the gimped current gen console versions so they can do an impressive media blowout once the game releases on next gen consoles and show some next gen looking graphics.
Not even a month has passed and games are already recommending the full VRAM capacity of 3080 card. Yeah, that's "ROFL" and "LOL" indeed. When I bought my 1080Ti it took years for games catch up to VRAM capacity of that GPU.

I'm surprised they didn't permaban you yet for how dishonest you are. They're not demanding the full VRAM capacity, they're just putting the full vram capacity of the card there. Same for the 2080ti before that.
Sadly, there's been some confirmed PC footage (I think DF did at least one video with it), and the raytraced puddles are about the only thing that sets it apart.
I'm sure it'll allocate as much memory as it can, so it will look like it's using all of it in RTSS (without that new per-process display turned on), but it'll really only be using about 4GB or so.. lol.
I've got a secondary display set up to show system statistics, I should see if I can get it to show actual utilization instead of just allocation.
You woke up on the wrong side or something? What's with insane hostility, permaban me for what exactly? Its says right there in system requirements that 10GB VRAM is recommended.
I don't think these requirements are that outrageous considering the 3080 struggles to hit 60fps in certain scenes at 4k in AC: Odyssey.
Damn it looks like another case of "do I buy PC or Series X"
I can't wait to see performance numbers on Series X because I just can't make a decision before. My computer may be better if the game isn't "made" for Series X but if it's just current gen with better FPS then my PC will be better...aaaahhhh!!!
Crazy times. I should have bought a 3080 and just gone PC for all these lol

It's definitely just a coincidence that the previous system requirements they listed for this, when the 2080Ti was the highest end card, used 11GB of VRAM then?
They're just using whatever memory capacity their recommended card has.
Weeeeew that's a heavy game for RT!
Really excited for it though! (i hope my 3080 arrives by then.........)

Yeah, we know that's what they're doing, it's just fucking stupid, is all. The game isn't going to cap all 10GB of a 3080, not even close. So why "recommend" having 10GB of VRAM? It's fucking stupid. I'm repeating myself now. But it's fucking stupid.It's definitely just a coincidence that the previous system requirements they listed for this, when the 2080Ti was the highest end card, used 11GB of VRAM then?

Pretty steep for just RTX reflections (seemingly all they're doing), compared to some other RTX games doing a lot more RTX effects.
Watch Dogs would really benefit from RTX GI and/or shadows as the lighting model is horrid. (At least in daylight)

Wow, you're right, that DF preview from a while ago only shows RT reflections in the settings menu. For some reason I was thinking they'd be doing more. Definitely seems expensive to require a 3080 at 4K DLSS performance mode...
4k is using DLSS performance too...This is very demanding haha
It did and it will. Most of Ubi's PC versions show this.
