Overwatch may not be a very demanding game graphically, but we know that this is not what many players feel. Do you want to be part of the competition, but your computer is having problems running the game? Then check out our tips for improving Overwatch performance without seeing the graphics get worse dramatically. Remember that you should always play the game in the native resolution of your screen and follow the game's recommendations for graphics. Our 5 tips are for options that can be found in Options - Video - Advanced , choosing the mentioned detail.
1. Say goodbye to Dynamic Reflections
Changing the settings for Dynamic Reflections will certainly be the change with the greatest impact on Overwatch's fps . One detail discovered by a Reddit user - raydialseeker - will make all the difference when it comes to increasing the framerate . Turn off this option and you will have an improvement of up to 50% in the game's fps . The visual impact on the game will be minimal and you will see how it was worth turning off the option. And what are Dynamic Reflections after all? This is a visual detail that makes it possible for the characters to reflect on reflective surfaces such as water, glass, among others. Turning this option off only removes your character's reflection, and does not affect the reflections of buildings and other objects in the scene.2. Decrease the Shadow Detail
As its name implies, this option controls the depth and amount of shadows in the scene. The higher, the greater the detail and level of realism in your game experience. We recommend that you try to set the Shadow Detail option to a low level so as not to compromise the game. If you like to play ranked in Overwatch , it's important to have all the information when attacking and defending - and the shadows of enemies can make all the difference at this point. If competition is not the reason why you play Overwatch , then you can turn that option off. What will happen is that some shadows will not be displayed (like those of the opponents), but the realism will not be much affected .3. Model details should be reviewed
The Model Details option affects the quality and detail of the elements of a scenario. To really see changes in the framerate , it is necessary to change the option to Low . Turning off Model Details removes a lot of visual information from the game, which can compromise your experience.4. Turn off the Local Mist Details
This is one of those options that is very difficult to say what really changes in the game. We know that turning off Local Mist Details brings one of the biggest improvements to fps, which can increase your performance by up to 20% .5. If nothing works, then it's time to move the Rendering Scale
It may happen that you are doing everything to make the most of your computer, but even so, you cannot increase the fps. In that case, the Rendering Scale option can help you achieve your goal. We recommend lowering this scale to a maximum of 75% . Don't go any lower than that or the game's look will be too pixelated, resulting in a loss of graphical fidelity.
