Ubisoft Updates Watch Dogs: Legion PC System Requirements
Ubisoft has today updated the PC system requirements for its Watch Dogs: Legion game. Set to release on October 29th this year, we are just a few weeks away from its release. With the arrival of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3000 series Ampere graphics cards, Ubisoft has decided to update the official PC system requirements with RTX-on capabilities. The inclusion of raytracing in the game requires a faster CPU, as well as an RTX-capable GPU. At 1080p resolution, you need at least an RTX 2060 GPU to play with high settings, and raytracing turned to the medium, including DLSS. Going up to 1440p, Ubisoft recommends gamers to use at least an RTX 3070 GPU for very high preset, raytracing on high, and DLSS set to quality. If you want to max everything out and play with the highest settings at 4K resolution, you will need an RTX 3080 GPU.

And this is one of the companies in close collaboration with Nvidia too, very interesting indeed. Not sure what message they want to convey, but I don't see it as a good one.
Nothing new really. VRAM was always something you'd better have too much of, and never too little. Much like RAM. I think its clear that when rec. specs only a month post-launch already ask for 10GB, it won't be getting less and its the envelope only for Ubisoft as a close Nvidia partner. Not necessarily everyone else, most notably console ports.
It's all speculation anyway, but with all the new console will do this or that theory anyone without a 16gb video card and 8c/16t CPU is absolutely doomed in the immediate future, I just don't personally believe that will come to pass, not anytime soon anyway.
4k RT off 2080Ti 3080 for GPUs (no 3070) and there is a noticeable gap between 2080 Ti and 3080 with RT off.
1440p RT on 3070 no mentions of the 2080 Ti and the 4k RT on is 3080.
Does this mean the 3070 is way faster than 2080 Ti with RT on or slower?Are you saying, or suggesting that the 10GB variants of the Ampere cards are obsolete already due to small Vram?
Maybe they just recommending 10gb to be on the safe side. Will the game need as much I doubt it but who knows. Maybe you're onto something.
