GeForce and and Overwatch

Not gonna repeat what’s been said about GeForce experience as it’s been stated excellently.

Here is another tutorial on how to increase and optimize performance in Overwatch as well:

Dunno what kinda monitor you’re running, but even if it’s sub 75hz an increase in FPS is beneficial as it’ll also decrease your input lag giving you a much snappier feel to the games actions.

Few other things:

If you have Windows 10, disable “Game Mode” by going to Settings>Gaming>Game Mode and switching it to off. It’ll prevent Windows from auto “optimizing” your games.

Another thing to do to increase your performance is to set your power settings to a performance mode utilizing your rig to its fullest. Settings>System>Power&Sleep>Additional Power Settings (left hand column) and then chose either Ultimate Performance or High Performance.

Anyone got any Nvidia Control Panel settings to share with OP? I’m afk and can’t share my presets. I’ve got mine tuned for Performance.

Here are mine (running older Drivers, new ones won’t work with Rust for some reason, but these should be consistent across all drivers):

  • Maximum Pre-rendered frames: 1
  • OpenGL tendering GPU: (select your GPU, don’t use default)
  • Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance
  • Preferred Refresh Rate: Highest Available
  • Texture Filtering - Quality: High Performance
  • Threaded Optimization: On
  • Vertical Sync: off
  • Virtual Reality Pre-rendered frames: 1

You can keep textures high in game as they don’t impact performance all that much, so your game will still look good :+1:
