Ok so I've been playing overwatch for some time already. I came home today, booted up my pc, got on to overwatch and there it was. The thing I have NOT been looking for.

My game was stuck at 20-40fps. And i just can't play with that.

Yesterday it was pulling +120fps easy not even 50% load. And today 30.

Do you have any suggestion?

Well, hard to say.... Old PSU's could be an issue when GPU's are not fully performing, but because you have no crashes it might not be it.

Update your drivers (GPU/CPU/windows). And check if this also happens during other games.

If you ran the userbenchmark test and posted it here I could have a bit more information.
