Has anyone else recently had performance issues? up until recently I could run OW with no issue at 300+ FPS, now it sits at ~100 until it goes to 6 and then freezes. All my drivers are up to date, settings or on the lowest possible, I’ve scanned and repaired, I’ve installed on different drives, and nothing seems to fix it. I can play other games that require more sources no problem, it is just overwatch.

It started a few seasons ago and it never was as bad as it was now but could see the performance drops get worse with every season. Now this season I am often droping from what used to be a CONSTANT 240 fps, to now 200-140 fps. Its not my pc, its not my end, and no other game I play has taken a performance hit. Its just OW that sucks this bad. And to top it all off its not just dropped frames, its SUPER LAGGY drops, like my input and visuals get unplayable latency. As I’m sure 140 sounds amazing to most people. But normal 140 peak performance this is not. I can FEEL the miliseconds of delay in my input and frame generation and I remember feeling crisper response ten years ago when I used to play 30fps on an office pc hand me down.
I have no idea what helps and what doesn’t, I restart the game I restart my pc I turn on vsync and back off, I change from not fullscreen back to fullscreen (which helps when the game forgets to actually go back to true fullscreen), but nothing stops the performance drops I get every game or so now. Its ruining the game for me. It keeps making me want to play something else instead.
