I recently upgraded from a gtx 1070 to a gtx 1080ti. With the 1070, I could achieve a stable 250 fps, often getting up to 300 with all settings on low during quickplay. With the 1080ti, I’m averaging more around 230 fps, often dropping lower than 200 fps with the exact same settings (render scale set to 100%, everything low, 1080p resolution).
I can reach a stable 250-300 fps in the practice area with all settings maxed out, but in 6v6 matches the performance seems to be worse than the 1070.
It’s strange because everything else is exactly the same, all I did was change the gpu. And I did notice big improvements in performance in PUBG and Witcher 3, so it’s not that the 1080ti isn’t working properly.
I’ve heard people talk about disabling hpet, but I’m unable to disable it from my BIOS and I’m not sure why that wouldn’t have been a problem with the 1070 as well.
I’m not sure if this is indicative of a problem, but my gpu usage seems to be only around 40% when I’m playing overwatch. Shouldn’t it be higher?
Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts?
Go to the overwatch folder (C: programs x86)>Overwatch) and right click the overwatch.exe & overwatch launcher click compatibility tab and tick " Disdable full screen optimizations" apply.
Make sure game DVR is off. Xbox junk is off game mode off. (search these in the windows search bar)
Widows power plan options set to >High performance mode.
Uninstall geforce experience as it’s trash and causes issues.
Nvidia control panel> Global or overwatch only settings. >Power mode= High performance.
Nvidia control panel> physx settings>Turn it so its set to use your 1080TI.
Disable gpu temperature hooking programs such as rivatuner.(known bug which can cause issues on 10xx series atm.) also turn off the in-game gpu temperature hook to be safe.
Blizzard settings on battlenet. “streaming” “in-game streaming” make sure it is un-ticked and apply.
Do all of those ^ things as they are all good tips for any game. Now if the problem persists we move onto the more basic troubleshooting.
Find your way to “this pc”>Documents>Overwatch>Settings>Delete the file called “Settings_v0.ini”. Restart battlenet. Overwatch will re-download fresh settings. Launch game re-calibrate your gfx settings>Test.
Still a issue? Download DDU and fully uninstall your gfx driver in SAFE MODE Install the latest Nvidia driver and untick geforce experience.
Thanks for the help,
I’ve tried setting power management to prefer high performance in the nvidia control panel, but that didn’t improve performance.
Turning off the rivatuner, msi afterburner, and overwatch’s temperature monitoring did not do anything.
Turning off ‘enable streaming’ didn’t help.
I reset all the settings, but still got around 200 fps, and continued to get that after setting them to the lower settings.
I have the latest nvidia driver and did a clean install, didn’t fix the issue. I’m not going to use ddu because ddu definitely is more likely to cause more problems and has a 0% chance of fixing this issue (my gpu works absolutely fine, this is a performance issue).
I think my best bet would be turning off hpet but I can’t do that from BIOS so I think I’m just screwed. Might as well turn all my settings up because I can’t get consistent 250 fps either way… fml
