If the comparatively low prices of the newNvidia AmpereRTX 3000 graphics cards weren’t already enough to tempt you into upgrading your GPU this year, then Nvidia’s freshly-announced RTX 3000 bundle will no doubt sweeten the deal further. I mean, RTX 2080 Ti-level performance for £469 / $499 on theRTX 3070is already a tantalising proposition, I must admit, but anyone who buys who of Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs will also get a free copy of the ray tracing and DLSS-enabledWatch Dogs Legionfor their trouble, as well as a year’s subscription to their cloud gamingGeForce Nowservice.

Still, I’m looking forward to playing Watch Dogs Legions when it comes out at the end of October, especially with its ray traced London reflections and freshly confirmed DLSS support. Admittedly, the last round of E3 previews for Watch Dogs Legion confirmed it was getting DLSS support, but it’s good to have Nvidia give it theofficial thumbs upall the same. Plus, they’ve made a new tracing and DLSS trailer for the occasion, which you can see above.

Nvidia have also confirmed that Watch Dogs Legions will have a special DLSS Ultra Performance mode for 8K gaming, too, which sounds properly bonkers at the moment, but sort of makes sense if you’re planning on dropping £1399 / $1499 for their Titan-class RTX 3090 card come the end of September (as well as one of LG’s super fancy£3000/$40008K OLED TVs in place of the currently non-existent 8K gaming monitors).

“The new DLSS Ultra Performance mode delivers 9x AI Super Resolution (1440p internal rendering output at 8K using AI), while maintaining crisp image quality,” Nvidia said on their GeForce blog. “And along with the GeForce RTX 3090’s 24GB frame buffer and powerful rendering capabilities, 8K is now a reality, even in demanding ray-traced games like Watch Dogs Legion.”

Remember, you’ve only got between September 17th and October 29th to make the most of Nvidia’s RTX 3000 bundle, so you’ll need to decide whether you’re finally going to make that all important graphics card upgrade pretty sharpish if you want to take advantage of it.
