Season update broke performance terribly
Okay so I was going mad thinking my 10 months old cpu is dying then I looked formus and people with better racks (even 5090 and X3D cpus) reported same issue.
1 percent lows are tanking after update
Before last update it was buttery smooth.
I have locked 240 fps to my monitor and the lowest 1% were only 150-160 fps
After update it is 50fps. I have no proof to show but many people report same problem.
I did delete shaders, I did hard reset of windows, update of bios, antibloating of windows and register tweaks.
Set maximum performance of power suply for my PC in CMD.
Yet Overwatch is still tanking 1 percent lows.
It is not fault of your PC. It is fault of blizzard which should prioritize optimization rather than slop skins.
I also noticed overlays are broken only for Overwatch game.
Discord, Steam and especially nvidia overlat are tanking huge ammount of FPS
For a mid range PC which can run AAA titles on 2k in ultra it is not possible to run Overwatch smoothly with good 1 percent lows on low settings
Good job blizzard
