Watch Dogs: Legion’s virtual London looks like the real thing thanks to NVIDIA’s 30-series graphics cards

NVIDIA has published a gallery of like-for-like images, comparing iconic landmarks from the London-set video game Watch Dogs: Legion to their real-world counterparts.

The in-game photography was captured while running the game with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card (with the highest possible graphical settings), demonstrating the capability of NVIDIA’s new 30-series graphics cards to deliver a truly life-like virtual London in Watch Dogs: Legion.

The in-game photography also benefited from NVIDIA’s ray tracing technology, which simulates the physical behaviour of light to bring an authentic cinematic-quality to the game. They were further enhanced with NVIDIA’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which uses artificial intelligence to boost image quality while improving in-game performance.
