Depends on the airline and the runway in use (ie what lights are available for the takeoff roll)
Most carriers are certified to conduct 6/6/6 takeoffs. That means that on a runway that has centerline lights and markings, they can depart with RVR 600'/600'/600'.
Of course with this sort of departure, you need a takeoff alternate (in the event of emergency) since you cannot return to the departure airport.
