Check FPS on your GPU

Overwatch was released in 2016. We list 20 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 11 graphics cards. Steam lists Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 as the minimum graphics card, an entry-level card by today's standards. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 14 of 20 times.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Overwatch, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
