AMD RX 6700 XT Review

Here we revisit Watch Dogs: Legion, this time testing with the in-game ray tracing effects set to their highest values.

Finally, Watch Dogs: Legion with ray tracing is pretty punishing for the RX 6700 XT. The frame rate drops by 58% when setting those ray traced reflections to Ultra, and even then the RTX 3060 is still the faster GPU, with the 6700 XT barely ahead of the RTX 2060 Super. It's also a huge 28% slower than the RTX 3060 Ti here.

That margin can also be extended by the RTX 3060 Ti thanks to DLSS 2.0. Using that technology in tandem with ray tracing sees the 3060 Ti come in 87% faster at 1080p, for very little difference in visual quality. DLSS really is a big value-add for Ampere GPUs, and it's something we need a response to from AMD.
