Ray Tracing and DLSS Overclocked RTX 3060 Ti FE Performance

On this page, we will look at Ray Tracing and NVIDIA DLSS performance at 1080p and 1440p. First, we will see how turning on just Ray Tracing compares at 1080p. Then, at 1440p we will turn on both Ray Tracing and DLSS to see how performance compares. The “OVERCLOCKED GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE” video card is overclocked at 2052MHz GPU and 15.5GHz memory. All other cards are at default configuration. We are using in-game benchmarks where possible.

Watch Dogs Legion 1080p Ray Tracing

In Watch Dogs at 1080p we have the “Ultra” preset enabled plus “Ultra” Ray Tracing enabled. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE improves performance by 8%. This helps make the game more playable with full Ray Tracing at 1080p. It’s not 60FPS, but it is more playable than 49FPS average before the overclock. It’s also 13% faster than GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER FE.
