I have:
32 gigs of RAM
Intel I7
MSI RTX 4070ti
GTEK 27-inch 240hz monitor.
I recently upgraded to a 240hz monitor (gtek 27 inch) and an MSI RTX 4070ti and I’m noticing a lot of performance issues exclusive to Overwatch 2. I swapped the monitor about 2 and a half weeks ago and immediately noticed lower FPS (I was sitting steady at 200fps on old monitor) on higher settings. I figured lower settings would help, but it’s literally the same story. Same awful frame drops at random intervals and I cannot even test settings because my FPS is steady at around 260 in the range, but is sporadic in-game.
Just to specify, I promise I’m not being a snob, I’m jumping from 240fps to sub-100 at random intervals and this has never been an issue for me. power supply also doesn’t seem to be the issue. I am so lost and looking for any advice.
Disable everything and drop everything to lower quality. For one, if you’re taking this game seriously high effects aren’t doing you any favors. Two, youll be able to reapply settings and potentially find a reason for this clearly abysmal performance given your specs.
Keep textures and stuff high but delete particle effects and anything similar. Go from there. There’s no reason outside of hardware failure you should be having these results.
Take this to tech support as well.
Edit: try borderless window etc. Mess around with it. Clearly there is something unique to your set up and settings that is causing a problem. Try to find out what that is.
How often does this happen to you? Because I’m experiencing the same thing but only since season 3. Never had any issue prior to season 3. I’ve changed nothing in my setup or settings, but at least once per OW gaming session (4-6 matches), I’ll randomly experience these instances of frames dropping by half in at least half my matches.
Overwatch 2 has a really bad engine that was cobbled together and it stutters.
Just try other games and see what happens. But for the most part my findings with this game are:
Usually Intel has problems with things like the High process event timer.
As well as RAM issues that require locking in the actual timing. I have both AMD and INTEL, they each have their subtle nuances that require adjusting it to get it dialed in.
Another problem with Nvidia is you have to dial in your Aspect Ratio under the driver “Adjust desktop size and position”
Shader Cache can be a real issue, as to what you set it to. I prefer to run it “off” all together.
I also get random fps issues from time to time. The two things that usually (but sadly not always and never permanently for the session) work for me are
Turning “reduce frame buffering” off, applying, waiting a second, then turning it back on, and then applying.
Changing from fullscreen to windowed, applying, then back to fullscreen, and applying again.
Same here. The season 3 took my game from running smoothly 100% of the time at like 180fps on max everything settings to random drops off a CLIFF. Nothing changed about my systems, settings, or internet. I have all my drivers up to date. I’ll TP in on Kiriko and BOOM, sudden drop to like 3 fps for a second or two, then back to 180fps.
Used to be fine, now it goes jank. Only does it in OW2.
I have an i9-10900k, a 2080 super, and 32GB of RAM.
Ok hear me out with the current GPU you have. You need at least from intel side a 12900k Amd side i would say go for a Ryzen 9 5900x you will get easily around 600fps in ultra settings. Just make sure you have at least a 800 or even a 1000 Power supply.
Even your I7 is slow for your previous 2070. So you would get low FPS aswell
But i would reccomend you go for a AMD Ryzen 9 5900x cause you can find that CPU for as low as 300$ nowdays
Again, OW2 is the only game that does this and it only started doing this after the latest major patch. Nothing about my settings changed. Nothing about my power supply, internet, or hardware changed. Only thing that changed was the update.
FFXIV, Destiny 2, WoW, all of it runs smooth as silk. All on max settings.
Google search “i7 12700K vs i9 12900K vs R9 5900x” and you will see that with the same GPU there is very little difference even compared to the new Ryzen 5’s and I5’s.
Personally i went for the Ryzen 9 5900x cause editing wise.
And a rtx 3060 cause i only do 1080p Gaming
Sure my Ryzen 9 5900x is not maxed but from a bottleneck stand point i wouldnt say its a bad pair. Also the way i see it a Ryzen 9 5900x is cheaper or similar price with the i7 1200k due motherboards on AM4 are cheaper.
