I recently upgraded my monitor from a 60hz Hanns g to a 144hz Asus vg248qe. The problem is whenever I change my monitors refresh rate to 144hz and get in game, I immediately start getting small lag spikes accompanied by the yellow lightning bolt (connection issues symbol), every 4 or 5 seconds . This doesn't happen when I'm playing with vsync at 60 or 85 hz, its only with the higher frame rates that I start to lag. This is also the only game i have this problem with. I feel this problem shouldn't have anything to do with my hardware as its more than powerful enough to run Overwatch at 1080p with 144 fps. My CPU and GPU temps are fine while playing the game, as is my ping, RTT and fps.
Solutions I've tried so far:
-Reinstalling overwatch
-Restarting computer
-Restarting modem and router
-Turning ALL graphics settings to low
-Windowed and fullscreen mode
-Opening ports
-Changing in game resolution
-Opening up computer to make sure everything looked OK (airflow, cords)
My specs are as follows:
Geforce gtx 970
Intel i5 4690k
8 gb patriot RAM
Gigabyte GA‑Z97X‑SLI ATX Motherboard
Id greatly appreciate any insight towards my problem. Thanks.
PS:I dont usually make posts on online forums so hopefully my format is correct. 😛
