Lower FPS than normal

I have recentely purchased a 1660 ti, hoping to improve my framerate. However, on the lowest settings at 1080p, 100% scale render res, I only get about 120-140fps. I know that this is a lot, but I have seen videos of 1650’s and 1050ti’s getting upwards of 250 fps on the same settings, if not higher. I would like to know why this is.
My specs are as followed
ASUS STRIX GTX 1660 ti
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
8gb of 2300mz RAM
I have Overwatch installed on a 512 gb m.2 NVME SSD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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. This includes setting Overwatch at Maximum Performance (not optimal power) for Power Management and making sure it set to run on the graphics card and not the motherboard chipset.
  • 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.
  • There have been other threads reporting that updating your system BIOS can help with some performance issues with recent patches. Please be careful if you choose to update your BIOS and look up your motherboard’s instructions on how to do this.

Also here are advanced tips I have written in Overwatch’s Tech Support forum that maximize your FPS performance in the game.
