I've had this problem ever since I started playing Overwatch. I run everything on the lowest possible settings or disabled. I've seen videos everywhere of people with my setup or an even lower end one get far more fps, even when they are running the game on Ultra!
I've just dealt with it for the most part, but I would really like to get more use out of my 144hz monitor, and I've tried everything that I can think of, such as making sure my monitor is plugged into my GPU, and etc.
I run Overwatch with absolutely nothing open in the background, but it doesn't seem to help. My GPU usage is usually 30-50, and my cpu is always in the 90s. I know this points to a CPU bottleneck, but should an i5 4460 really be bottlenecking at 50-80 fps at low settings? My fps usually hovers around the low 60s.
Any help on this subject would be appreciated. Here are my system specs:
Zotac GTX 970
I5 4460
8gb of ddr3 ram
Samsung 850 evo SSD
1TB Toshiba HDD
Acer XB240H 144hz G-Sync monitor
EVGA 600w bronze psu.
gigabyte h81m s2h motherboard
