RTX 2080 Ti did not reach 60FPS/1080p with Ray-Tracing ON in Watch Dogs Legion

So here's the thing, Ubisoft announced Watch Dogs Legion with a flashy demo/video to go along with it, RTX based with attracting and all whistles and bells enabled. As it turns out now, a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti cannot sustain an average 60 fps even at 1920x1080.

Of course, it has to be said that the test is based on an early build of course and possibly a driver or two will optimize performance further, but for a graphics card of that caliber and price level, that's a little distressful to observe. Digital Foundry published that the Ubisoft demo was running at 1920x1080 Ultra resolution with all Ray-Tracing effects turned on, the graphics card thus was that GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. At default, it had the FPS limited to 30, later on, they raised the limiter to 60 fps. It almost never reached it and had notable FPS drops.

Watch Dogs Legion is scheduled for October 29. We also need to mention that the final version will get DLSS 2.0 support, which will definitely bump up performance in higher resolutions. So yeah, nothing definite here, but certainly an interesting observation.

Easily fixed, turn off the stupid RTX effects and you're back playing at 100 fps in smooth and silky framerate.

Not in Ubisoft games.
They don't know what optimization means, Watch Dogs Legion even with RTX looks like X360 game with PS2 characters.

If final version will support DLSS 2.0 then 60 fps should be attainable in my opinion, not only for RTX 2080 Ti.

Key point here is all Ray-Tracing effects turned on

Disable Ray Tracing, looks ugly and does basically nothing.
