Are you sharing internet with anyone in your household?
Have you checked to see if any programs are running in the background?
Overwatch update running while you're on overwatch?
When did this lag occur?

There was an nvidia geforece experience update issued july 23... check for nvidia updates?

Oh right forgot about that.
msi optix ag32c
Average FPS - around 250fps

How are you getting lag with 250 FPS on a 165hz monitor? Overwatch should be smooth as butter. What Sync settings are you using?

I do share wifi with 10+ other device but it always stay in 20ms. Nothing is running in background. Lag when I'm widow trying to snipe.

Have you tried resetting your cable modem? router? Maybe it's an issue with your isp?
I have spectrum internet and for the past week or so there have been slowdowns and outages in my area. I called spectrum and an automated message stated there was an outage in my area.... but you don't get noticeable lag when playing other heroes?

It does lag on other heros but only sometime I know it's not wifi lag though I think it could have been my overclock info but everything is stable I underclock everything and it still lag idk why.

You mentioned getting 250fps on 165hz monitor..... i would go to overwatch options and limit FPS to DISPLAY-BASED

I did have it on Max fsp which is 300 and I still have it so I just turn up some of the graphic so I would look better.

You may get screen tearing when your gpu outputs more display frames than your monitor can handle.

 

[omegadoom13]

I would change your Overwatch settings and limit FPS to DISPLAYED-BASED. At your current overwatch video settings, your GPU is clearly pumping out more frames (250fps) than your monitor can handle (165hz), basically wasting frames and probably causing screen tearing. Give that a try

 

[omegadoom13]

If you use NVIDIA Geforce Experience, then you can use that app to optimize your video settings for Overwatch so that you can find an ideal balance between performance and quality. In Overwatch, turn on DISPLAY PERFORMANCE STATS, making sure "show framerate" is turned on. You can increase or decrease settings in Geforce experience until you get consistent 165fps

So then should I just set it to around 200fps then? But how do I prevent screen tearing?

Ok thx
I'll try.

165hz means your monitor can refresh frames at most 165 frames per second (165fps) Setting FPS limit to 200 would mean that your gpu can output more than 165 frames which would most likely lead to screen tearing
