Re: Best Settings For Overwatch 2 Pc

What Reflex does is twofold: first, it allows developers to reduce the overall latency between the user and the game by forcing the GPU and CPU to work together in a more efficient manner, which reduces the render queue. This can quite drastically reduce your overall system latency, which is great news for competitive players.

On this page of the Overwatch 2 wiki, we break down the best settings to maximize your frames per second (FPS) while reducing your latency and overall improving your PC's performance so you can focus on improving your performance in Overwatch 2.
Not everyone can have a top-tier gaming setup. If you do not own a curved monitor or high-end graphics card, fear not. By tweaking your settings in Overwatch 2, you can greatly improve the performance of your game.
Finding the right settings for your PC is all about balancing achieving a high frame rate while maintaining low input latency. The more frames per second (or FPS), the more realistic your gameplay will appear.
What is input latency? You have probably heard this referred to as "lag" more often than not, but input latency is the delay that occurs between your GPU sending a frame to your monitor and the moment the frame is actually displayed on the monitor.
The settings you choose for your mouse are largely up to your own personal preference. Even Overwatch League pros differ on what DPI and Sensitivity is best for Overwatch 2. This preference can come down to a number of factors, from what works best for your personal gaming setup, to which Class you prefer to play in Overwatch 2.
Since Overwatch 2 has a different Sensitivity setting in addition to the DPI of your mouse, you will need to adjust both your in-game sensitivity and your mouse's DPI to achieve your ideal mouse sensitivity.
Most gaming mice will have buttons that can be used to adjust the DPI of your mouse. However, if you want to measure the exact DPI your mouse is currently set to, the easiest way to adjust the DPI of your mouse is often to adjust your mouse's hardware through the manufacturer's software, if it is available to you.
Hey I play Overwatch competitively and recently switched over from Nvidia(GTX 960s) to AMD(rx580s) when I got a new Desktop. Despite the fact that I am using newer graphics cards I am getting significantly worse performance. I have my settings in game set very low and my I tried my best to optimize radeon to the best of my ability but still not much luck. I would like to get a consistent 199-220 FPS in game while keeping latency(input lag) to a maximum of 40ms. If anyone can help me figure out the best settings for performance in overwatch in game and for radeon I would be very grateful. Thank you!
I've been trying to get this game running in Crossfire with no luck. The only solution seems to be to disable Crossfire. I have RX 580 as well and I can get in the 80-120 FPS range on max settings. But enabling crossfire actually results in a complete system hang for me. I was hoping if I could get close to double the performance that would put me well above my monitor's 144hz refresh rate but it doesn't work at all for me.
I'm having trouble getting decent fps on overwatch. Even after going into the lowest settings, updating drivers, using the in-game settings intel suggests, and doing all I thought of, I am still struggling to achieve more than 60 fps on overwatch. I have a Intel UHD graphics 630 card and an Intel core i5-8400 processor and the game feels unplayable. I was hoping there is some solution to my problem as I have no idea whats left to do.
It is worth mentioning that FPS will depend on different facts and not only on the graphics controller. For instance: if it is an online game, the Internet bandwidth, if the computer is wired or wireless, type and capabilities of the hard drive (SSD, HDD, M.2), amount of memory RAM, type of display and connection, OEM limitations*, etc; and then the graphics controller works based on available resources.
Following the recommended settings at gameplay.intel.com this should allow for a playable game; however, playable not necessarily mean reaching more than 60 FPS. Please check the recommended settings based on your processor model:
Since the game is available at gameplay.intel.com this means the validation team has tested the game. However, could you please provide the information below so we can try to replicate the behavior and check this further?
6- Could you please provide a video showing (a) the game settings and (b) the behavior while playing the game? Please also let us know if you have any other behavior, for instance, game lagging, crashes, etc.

Hi, I'm about to get a LeGo and I've been wondering what some of yall have in your setup or settings for intense games. Like what dock/ keyboard you have and if there is any input lag. Or if you've found a good hz, fps, mode etc. Combination that works great for most high quality graphic games. Obviously I know setting will change per game but I'm hoping there's a baseline that doesn't require a lot of tweaking between games.
-> double checking at Game start up, the system resolution actually stays at 1600p, if it switches back to the game resolution, switch it back in the LegionSpace side Menu (quick settings Menu) to 1600p
--> Integer Scaling gives you a way sharper image quality through perfectly multiplying the quarter resolution (800p) by 4 times, resulting in a perfectly upscaled image to the native resolution of the Go's Display (1600p)
For those more modern, hardware hungry games I would recommend a TDP between 20 and 30 watts in custom settings, or just turn on the performance mode, and you should be fine (even though 30 Watt custom mode, can bring you even more performance in several cases).
Set up the system Energy mode to efficiency, as that way your GPU is getting more power and this is best for most games. If you should encounter a really CPU heavy game, like a strategy game with thousends of objects in the game to be calculated, it might be worth it to test it in Performance mode.
->>> In general looking at the Go's APU (consisting of CPU and GPU on one chip) be aware that the CPU is quite fast already, the GPU is quite slow compared to dedicated (real and normal) graphics cards.
One of those is the UMA (V-RAM) size. As the Go has an APU, meaning a CPU and a GPU on one Chip, GPU and CPU share the 16 GB of RAM memory together, and use those for the System Memory and the Graphical memory. By setting up the VRAM size, you also define the rest memory being used for the system at the same time.
I would recommend 6 GB of VRAM overall, as this counts to be the sweet spot for most games, or trying out AUTO mode, as this can even improve game performance some times, but can also lead to issues with certain games not properly supporting it.
I would recommend to start with the lowest graphical settings and seeing how fast your FPS are there (by turning on the option in the legion Space side menu, or by installing and using MSI Afterburner) and then switching on the graphics options which are most relevant to you. If the game performs well already, just leave it as it is. If it doesn't, turn on FSR2 in game on one of the better quality settings.
Within the next Graphics driver update there will also be frame generation implemented in to ways:
One on a system level called "AFMF", another called "FSR3" on a way better, game adopted level (just in a few supported games so far, but they will be more and more). It will then be worth it to deactivate FSR 2 and to just activate FSR3 in the in game options, or AFMF (within the driver software options) to see if you are happy with their results and picture quality, and still happy with the additional latency introduced. Not good for Multiplayer shooters definetly (here FSR 2 is way better), but can be good for single player experiences, or if you just play Multiplayer games for fun, and don't care them to be too precise.
I know this was very long, but as this is a question that comes up over and over again, and I'm currently ill at home, I took the time to properly write it down once and for all
--> As often going into each smaller detail of those settings, is not always good and helpful, as they all play in together.
Regarding the keyboard I can totally recommend you a foldable and portable keyboard like from Seenda I bought, as it is light, foldable (and has a great multi-touch trackpad), and therefore nicely portable and you can connect it up to 3 devices at the same time, here the link to amazon:
This is the green version I have, but it is also available in Pink.
Or here directly using a US link (don't know where you actually live ;-))
www.amazon.com/.../ref=sbl_dpx_pc-accessories-keyboards_B0C4CW77XX_0
If you want to use it more stationary at home you can use any gaming keyboard you like, as this is a highly subjective matter, and obviously real, bigger keyboards have better buttons, then a flat portable one (anyway for what it is it is really great, and I'm really happy about buying the Seenda one, as I use it for my Go, for my Ipad and for my Phone too .)
-> Generally speaking I love Corsair keyboards with fast gaming keys, but not mechanical, as I can't stand the sound of them...
