Up until now, I’ve played at 1440p and maintained 250-300 FPS with no stutter. Since Sigma dropped, I’ve experienced incessent stutter at all times that causes the perceived framerate to appear to be roughly 30 FPS (though the actual framerate doesn’t change).
This has crippled my gaming performance. My accuracy stats are down 15%+ each match. My deaths are up, my hero damage / 10 is down by nearly 50% and my elims / 10 are down about 30%.
I’ve noticed that skirmishes run flawlessly. No problems whatsoever but the moment I get into a real match, the constant stutter resumes. It could be map-dependent but that seems unlikely, and I can confirm that it’s not dependent on my hero choice.
Things I’ve tried…
Updating my GPU to the latest driver.
Running the repair installation tool for Overwatch.
Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Overwatch.
Enabling G-sync and Fast sync to confirm that the perceived stutter isn’t actually extreme screen tearing, which it is not.
Reducing all my settings and lowering my resolution scale to 75%.
Dropping my resolution from 1440p down to 1080p.
Overclocking my CPU.
Nothing has helped at all. Any suggestions? Anyone else experiencing this? It’s really frustrating because I feel that Overwatch is entering into a new golden age with role queue and Sigma, yet I can’t enjoy it.
