Just Bought 3 PG27UQ Monitors

I can play Witcher 3 at 4k 144hz on my 4 1080 Ti’s using my EVGA 4 way SLI bridge and pretty much any game at 4k 144hz max settings that supports SLI but this game will not work for some reason. I am at a 45fps cap no matter what I do. Also, the game takes forever to launch when I try open it.

Things I have tried.
Uninstalled client
Went into regedit and deleted anything that has to do with blizzard or battle.net
Tried redownloading the game and installing it on 6 different SSD’s, and even tried on 4 different HDD’s.
Deleted everything in appdata, %temp%, Programdata and everything.
There is no overclocks on my GPU’s but the stable OC mode overclocks, but I have tried turning them off and still no luck.
Downclocked my CPU and RAM to stock.

I am lost. Please help me. I was Diamond last 2 seasons and I really wanted to enjoy this game at 4k 144hz. And after having a 4k OLED TV for sometime and a handful of 4k monitors for my AAA games, I can’t stand to go back to 1440p or 1080p lol. Thank you.

Edit Reason: I tried Nvidia Inspector to tell it I am using 4 GPU’s like I do with all SLI supported games. I know the third and fourth card don’t give much fps boost, but 4 way SLI is needed to get 144fps at 4k max settings in games or close enough so gsync can do its thing. I have tried taking 2 cards out and just using 2 1080 Ti’s and still no luck. I tried reinstalling the drivers and reset the tweaking i did to Overwatch’s inspector profile to default. I tried AFR 2 in Nvidia control panel’s 3D settings no luck and even tried just the default use Nvidia recommended still no luck. I usually have Vsync off in the global settings in my Nvidia control panel and Gsync on, then use the games frame limiter to 141fps 3fps below my 144hz so gsync is always on.

One thing that did help though was changing Gsync to fixed refresh which gave me 110fps cap, but I see people online showing their benchmarks with just 2 1080 Ti’s and even with CPU’s worse than mine getting around 200fps. I just give up at this point lol. Thank you for reading!

Changing my monitor to 60hz sort of fixed it. My game now opens instantly. However though, I am still sadly capped at 45fps no matter what I do.

Try disabling the Full screen optimization on Overwatch and Overwatch Launcher .exe (Compatibility tab).

Hello Nicole. I switched to the RTX cards and I have done what you said. I actually made another post naughty me. I totally forgot about this one! I am so silly. Thank you though for taking time in reading my horrible wall of text and replying though.
