Thanks all for your help

The emulator is for testing purposes. It is not meant for solid real time emulation. You will NOT be able to play the game through and emulator for directx. Also those emulators are often on the blacklist and will result in account suspensions/bans in most games.


You simply can't. Your card has support for up to directx 10.1 and overwatch needs at lest directx 11 to work. Your card is more powerfull but simply too outdated in features to launch the game.

Only solution is to get a compatible card that is also good enough to run the game.
 


Don't put the effort on this, it will simply not work.
Where do you live, what is your budget and what are your system specs?
 
I was making a PC whit secondhand parts and i would love to use it to play overwatch, I had buildt it all for free, the specs are core 2 quead 8200 + 8800gt+ 8gb ram. And also I would like to know if there is anyway to run overwatch on it.
 


Overclock your CPU to 3GHZ or above than that because below the 3GHZ overwatch will stutter and give you below 30FPS.
What is your budget and where do you live and what is your motherboard?
 


With that cpu overwatch will be uinplayable. You need to at least oc it to 3.4ghz to get a stable 30 fps. Directx emulation is really inneficient and has a bunch of issues. Therefor it will most likely not work.
Also this can be seen as malicious software trying to read the game and can easily get you banned.
 
I think the cpu will handle it, but I will put on a little of oc anyway, also I would like to know what you were saying about dx emulators and if you know some of them, because I would love to try using them even if I need more power.
 


I have a ASUS P50L Pro motherboard and I want to spend as less as posible.
This pc is not my main pc, but I wanted this to run overwatch so when I meet whit friend I could play whit them.
