Hello,
Every few seconds my game has a really small stutter, even if I have a continuous 100+ FPS.
I’ve tried setting the FPS to display based, but that doesn’t do anything (also if I set the FPS to display based (144Hz) I only reach roughly 100 FPS, while if I set it to 200 capped it lets me play at a continuous 130-150 FPS, no idea what’s up with that).
I don’t have V-Sync on.
My CPU (i7-4770K) doesn’t go above 60%. The temparatures are fine also.
My GPU (GTX 1080ti) is at 2-3% usage when playing Overwatch, which also seems incredibly low. Here aswell, good temparatures.
What’s also weird is that regardless of my settings, OW doesn’t reach any higher FPS than 150 in any case (average at roughly 100-120). Is that a bottleneck? I find it weird because my CPU doesn’t max out, so I doubt there’s a cause there.
It would be great if the low FPS issue would be fixable aswell, but the main issue I want to address here is the small stutter every few seconds. It’s quite annoying and throws off aiming.
Thanks for any help in advance!

They haven’t helped anyone who has reported these issues for around a fortnight now. I’ve looked and seen nothing resolved.
I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Hi.
Have you tried the advice described here? Or have you tried to test the connection during the game?

Quick update:
I remembered that a few weeks ago Nvidia published a new Driver that supports Freesync on Nvidia cards. And I remember from a video that certain (unsupported) Monitors would still work with Freesync but do some weird artifacting, like stuttering or blacking out every few frames.
With that in mind I turned to the Nvidia control panel to turn off G-Sync. Nothing lost, since I don’t have a G-Sync monitor anyways.
Next to that I also switched V-Sync in the Nvidia Control Panel from “application based” to “always off”. I never had V-Sync enabled in OW, but trying it can’t hurt.
Lastly I also updated to the Nvidia driver that came out a few days ago.
Not sure which of the 3 helped, maybe all of them, but now the situation seems to be better.
When I tested it out earlier I had a constant 200 FPS and couldn’t detect any stutter. It needs to be said that I only tested it for one Quick Play round, so the issue may still be around, but so far so good, seems to work.
My GPU still runs at only 3ish Percent, but if I reach 200 FPS I don’t really care about that.
Also regarding your link @Raxr, that was the first thing I tried, short of updating the driver, which I now did aswell. It may very well be that that’s what fixed the problem.
I’ll keep you posted if the issue arises again.
It’s good to hear it. Make sure you also have Game DVR mode turned off in Windows 10.
Having the same problem when i bought the game played it everything was fine 2 days ago i come on today to play so i can hit level 25 and every 3-4 seconds my game drops to 5fps it doesnt do this on any other game even cyberpunk didnt have this problem and overwatch is so old so why is there even an issue like this especially on modern pc
I’m having this issue too and really not sure what is causing it, it does seem to work better when in windowed borderless though instead of fullscreen
deleted: I don’t want offer further assistance to help this “company”
