Hello overwatch Mates!
I’ve recently updated my pc hardware, but still, iam facing massive fps drop from 300 to 220 and some times even below 200. In really massive team fights, it can drop to 185…
My PC:
CPU: i9-7920x(overclocked)
ROG 1080TI
32GB RAM
Iam using Asus pg258 240 Ghz
All graphic settings at low,except textures on high
Render scale 100%
Texture filtering 1x
Antiallias off
V-sync, triple buffering off
Reflections off
Refraction low
I’ve tried to give to the game high priority in Windows,changed power plan to performance, tried to switch between 1 and 3 maximum render frames in Nvidia control panel.
Deleted shadow play, this pc has nothing else rather then overwatch and bull protector on it.
Switching between full screen and window doesn’t help as well.
Xbox DVR switched off.
Don’t know what to do else,tbh I was thinking that I would be able to easily reach 250frames constant with that pc on high graphics with no problems.
So the two questions are…
- Can I do something else to get constant 250 fps?
- And if NO, would it be better to come back to 144 GHz monitor and cap fps at 150,rather then having 240 GHz with fps jumps? Couse I’ve heard that fps jumps like micro lags.
I hope that I explained everything well,sorry for my English.
All help is highly appreciated!
You running windows 10? It might not fix your issue, but i recently just fixed a lot of my frame drops from windows defender running in the background, which is a pain to turn off and has a habit of turning back on. I downloaded avast just so windows defender would recognize i’m using something else and stay off. Haven’t had any lagging or stuttering issues yet.
I have an i7 6700k and 1080, im getting 165 hz steady on high graphics 1080p 90% render scale

You think 185 is bad? Try 15

Me rn… With my good ol’ 1060 mini.
I don’t think is bad. But iam pretty sure that u need 250 if using 240 GHz monitor…
I have no idea what quality moniter I have, how do I find out?
What is your monitors resolution set at currently?
Go to your video card control panel and your hertz and resolution should be under the display or resolution tab
Check your RAM timings as well.
i have an 8700k overclocked to 5k and my Asus Turbo 1080 TI overclocked to 2050mhz and i get a constant 280 fps on Ultra graphics with a 144hz monitor.
I used to have frame drops until i checked my ram. I oc’ed it to an XMP profile of 3200hz. Never looked back.
Often times, when you have an oc’d cpu you need the memory timings that can keep up with all that processing power.
While the gpu doesnt need much in terms of ram, it still requires a bit of help.
If your card is oc’ed as well, the main culprit for underpefermance is heat. You need to extract heat from the gpu die and the vram chips. The vrm chips will get hot as hell but as long as they fall within nominal ranges you’re fine. I watercooled my rig so it has all the cooling it needs but you may want to check yours if your cooling solution is adequate enough.
Lastly, adjust your video card settings in the NVIDIA control panel.
make sure you turn it to perfomance mode.
Also you shouldnt really turn vsync off. You should set it to “fast” and the frames rendered to something higher than 1. This reduces tearing and other video issues. If the input lag bothers you that much, turn it off and turn max pre rendered frame to 1. Turn triple buffering off.

Oh and lastly:
1). delete all of your battlenet cached items
2). Disable any background windows services that might give you lag.
3). Run adjust your windows power plan to always run the cpu at 100%. You need to manually set this in the advanced powerplan settings
4). This may not apply to windows 10 but unpark all your cpu cores. (Which i believe #1 above does

Thanks for that big post! Not sure how can I check vram timings but I’ll try to google it somewhere. I’ll be back here with results. But 280fps on ultra is pretty impressive.
Have you tried lowering even further?
Everything low (yes texture low) and off, graphics render 75%?
Low texture and 75% adds significant FPS and lower latency. That’s what most Pro/OWL player use, since 75% gets you 720p without much graphical reduction.
I’m on GTX 770, 4700k, 1080p monitor and getting mostly 220fps and 180 low; training ground 250 fps.
Yes I tried,iam getting more fps and less drops,but with 75% scale I don’t feel comfortable at all.
So I figured out that I have ballistix RAM two pieces of 16gb each 32gigs total. With timings 16-16-16-39-1.200v and 2400MHz maybe that’s my problem? Shall I change it to 3200 mhz?
Btw I was able to boost my rog 1080ti only +120 core and +400 memory
Vrams are power coverters (essentially). You cant set anything for them other than indirectly setting power related things like your eco settings and power management/consumption in the BIOS
RAM is totally different. That’s the one you want to check timings for.
3200 will see an increase in fps but it wont stabilize it. The vid card does most of the processing.
You can go a bit higher than that i think. Your card better than mine and i believe was built to be overclocked.
I have mine at set +180 frequency and +600 on Memory with MSI Afterburner. Also make sure your gpu fan is working right. I have mine vid card watercooled and it does a helluva job. But my gpu (not the radiator fan) fan needs to be at 100% on load.
Be careful when you overclock your RAM. Dont set the voltage too high or you’ll fry it.
Or if you dont know how properly set latency timings or know what each timing does, dont attempt it. You’ll make it worse. Lol.
I recommend that if you have a stock XMP profile, just turn it on and let it set the timings and voltages automatically. Most RAMs dont usually run on the advertised speeds specified on the box until your turn your XMP profile on.
You dont need to get a new monitor. You can set your resolution And refresh rate in the game itselft. Anything below your native resolution will pop up in tje drop down at different refresh rates. Try dialing it back down to 1920x1080(144) under the drop down…

Thanks everybody for support! Problem solved! It actually was the i9 cpu,it is not optimised for gaming. I changed mother board and bought i7-8700k getting 300-280 fps .
All the best
185 is very bad for his specs
I’ve been having similar issues myself. At this point, you pretty much have to wait for Blizzard to acknowledge it and do something about it.
