RTX 2070 Super (Roughly 4 years old)
Ryzen 9 5900x (1-2 Years old)
I think its the Graphics card because its old asf, I’m getting 400fps in the lobby in waiting phase (start) then mid game mainly in fights I’m dipping from 250 to 160 the fps drops are incredibly obnoxious its genuinely easier to play on 140 hz at this point if its just going to dip this hard even though I have a 360hz monitor.
What are your graphical settings, Nvidia Control Panel settings, and target resolution?
1920x1080
All minimum
Nvidia control panel is optimised for performance but I think thats the only nvidia change.
You know that every FPS over your monitor limit is useless? Just for the information…
Pretty sure this is typically the case with Overwatch anyway. I cap my FPS at 144 and have no tearing/frame drop with everything on ultra.
What are your other settings? Render scale etc.
Have you checked temps? When was the last time you repasted your card?
Are all drivers updated?
Have you used Afterburner to increase the Power Linit percentage?
I’m getting 160 dips and I have 240 and dips feel horrible it screws everything if it happens mid game.
240 - 160 = 80FPS not being achieved.
Yeah I overclocked it +100 clock
+600 Memory.
Never done it.
I dont use render scale 100%
The higher the FPS, the more data being processed by the PC.
The more data being processed by the PC, the less input lag being felt by the player.
Adding FPS above what your target refresh rate makes the game feel more responsive.
As an experiment lock your monitor refresh rate at 60hz and capping your framerate at 60fps. Then keeping it locked at 60hz, unlock your framerate and you should notice a difference in how the game feels.
Just two cents with some mild experience with this kind of stuff, AMD constantly has compatibility issues.
How? The menu locks at 60 on my end. I’m running a 144Hz monitor and never go under 143 in-game.
Ingame during the prephase when you’re waiting for the defense team to move to the areas.
Ohhhh, gotcha, gotcha.
Either way, yeah, I’d chalk it up to AMD being the apple of functional hardware. First guess, anyway.
Sometimes actually overclocking doesn’t work well with certain titles.
Overclocking even a tiny bit in Destiny 2 for example causes the game to crash.
Try a baseline profile.
And also just make sure your “Power Limit Percentage” slider is maxed out. It just allows your card to draw as much power as it needs, but doesn’t stress it.
I’d recommend it, check your temps as well. Crusty dried paste will increase temps, and increased temps due to bad cooling means decreased performance.
Try it around 85%-90%. You shouldn’t notice a huge difference in fidelity, but it should give a noticeable boost in framerate.
Overwatch 1 did prefer Intel and a Codi’s hardware from what I’ve seen.
well that sucks, definetly can’t change my CPU + Motherboard.
Was hoping it would be my old GPU at fault.
I meant AMD hardware is uncooperative, not the game in particular, but that does play a role as well.
The only PC game I’ve ever seen that runs worse on intel/nvidia hardware is Insomniac’s Spider-Man, but it was built strictly for playstation and ported over after the fact. Hardware acceleration and those details revolve entirely around AMD. Frankly, I’m glad it plays over 30Hz on better hardware, but it still irritates me.
Eh just keep trying, there are ways to max performance even with hindrances.
Like Trando said, try setting it to 85-90 percent if the extra FPS really is that important to you.
I honestly have never noticed much of a difference past 144 and have set all my games to that so I can keep all my graphics on ultra without taxing my card (I have an rtx 3060 though).
For whatever reason I’m able to tell the difference between 200 and 240 like I can tell when the fps has dipped.
Im like the fps has dipped look at the counter and my FPS is at 160 or 200 the input lag is insane on it too.
