RAM isn’t the problem. The game isn’t utilizing the full power of my GPU, and it sits around 70% usage usually. In combat it’s usually sitting around 50%.
Upgrade that power supply m8. I run a 750w 80+ gold with a 1060. But I do plan on getting the 1080ti very soon. I don’t think that’ll fix your issue but you might be underpowered!
Power supplies are getting to be less and less of a problem. The hardware you have in youre computer is using less and less voltage. The only time you need a power supply like yours, is when you have duel graphics cards and are also OCING. If its under powered itll also just straight up shut off.
Yeah, because you have a ram bottleneck. Games dont only run off CPU and GPU power, if your ram is slow which in your case it is because it’s single channel, then your game will slow way down. You need dual/quad channel and at least 16gb. Overwatch, some chrome tabs, and Discord eats up nearly 8gb in my experience.
Overwatch Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit.
Processor: Intel Core i3 or equivalent.
Memory: 4GB RAM.
Hard Drive: 5GB space on a 7,200 RPM drive, or better.
Graphics: GeForce GTX 460. "Memory: 4GB RAM."
Still doesn’t explain why I got better FPS with a 1050TI.
Yeah bud, those are MINIMUMS, you’re getting 110fps so you’re not the target demographic for those specs.
The reason you get better fps with a 1050 is because your CPU is carrying your CPU at that point. Overwatch is more CPU intensive than it is GPU intensive.
You can either argue with me or buy some new ram and enjoy your FPS. I’m not going to waste my time if you’re just going to pretend to know more. Don’t ask for help if you’re going to be a know-it-all anyway.
I have a 1080, I7 and 16 gbs of ram. 2 patches ago when I got the computer I would be running on a steady 280 fps and itd just stay at 300 in a custom game. The last 2 patches have dropped my frames by 80 and its at 230 in customs games. There are some serious problems with optimization right now.
Overwatch is pretty optimized compared to most modern games, even on the front of cpu and ram bottlenecks. But im not gonna complain if blizzard throws a few more fps my way.
I keep 144fps and my system isn’t anywhere near as good except for GPU which is 1080.
Also if you really do have 1 stick of RAM then you’re doing it wrong. Unless it’s a really crappy weird motherboard, they are all dual or triple channel RAM which requires them to be in pairs.
Windows when everything is closed down required 1.5 gig of ram space at bare minimum, Overwatch at minimum settings needs 4 gig of ram space and 700-800 Vram.
You are overworking your ram. and forcing your system to creating continous page files to keep up.
