GeForce RTX 3000 launch shakes up Watch Dogs Legion system requirements
Ubisoft has updated the system requirements for Watch Dogs Legion, now requiring GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards for ultra settings with ray tracing.
Ubisoft has updated the system requirements for its upcoming game, Watch Dogs Legion. As of yesterday, the GeForce RTX 3070 has been added to the "Very High RTX ON" tier, while the "Ultra RTX ON" preset now lists the GeForce RTX 3080. Previously, these ray-traced ultra settings required a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
