Hey, I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 850M Card, but since my game seems to fluctuate alot in fps (between 20-60fps) I wonder if my videocard might not be able to run Overwatch anymore?
Thanks in advance!
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460, ATI Radeon™ HD 4850, or Intel® HD Graphics 4400
Looks like it is still supported, but it is an older card, so that makes sense. You can try doing the steps in the optimization thread.
These standard tips can help resolve most Overwatch FPS drops:
- Reset Overwatch’s Video Settings
- Update your graphic card driver.
- Reset your graphic card driver settings., then make sure that your Graphic Card Driver control panel is configured correctly for Overwatch.
- In drastic cases you may need to reinstall the driver and update to the most recent driver for your card. Remember to use Display Driver Uninstaller to completely clean out your old driver. Then download the most recent NVidia or AMD for your system.
I have the same moblie gpu in my ROG lappy and if it’s as old as mine it’s time for some TLC! Ebay some replacement fans and open that baby up give her a proper cleaning and some new thermal paste!
Your GPU throttling due to heat! Fixed mine a year ago. Hope this helps!
