My friend is having FPS issues (10-30 at best) while playing Overwatch, and I am the one who picked out and built his computer so I feel responsible to help him fix this, he should be able to easily get 60fps even in high settings.
His build:
Z97GD65
I5 4690k
Reference GTX970
Thermaltake 750W
8g of ram
240G SSD for OS
1TB HD for mass storage
H80I Liquid CPU cooler
I moved recently so now I live over 3 hours away from him, which is frustrating because I cannot physically go over to his house and work on it. But over discord we tried many different potential fixes to this problem, with no success. Please let me know of anything missing from this list that you think might work, I am willing to try almost anything at this point.
1. Checked Drivers were up to date
2. Set Overwatch to run as Admin
3. Reduced all in game settings to lowest (and tried basically all combinations of in game settings) including all versions of anti-aliasing/V-sync
4. Used DDU to Uninstall all Drivers&Geforce Experience then reinstalled, no change.
5.Downloaded MWB and did a full system search, 0 threats.
6. Uninstalled and reinstalled Overwatch itself
7. Downloaded MSI Afterburner, GPU and CPU were both in average temp ranges, no throttling
8. Downloaded Process Explorer, nothing unknowingly using large amounts GPU or CPU
9. Downloaded Furmark, ran stress test at 1920x1080, was getting consistent ~60FPS, which befuddles the hell out of me as it should be much more GPU intensive than Overwatch right?
10. Also did a CPU burn test, with his liquid cooling it wouldn't even get over 45C.
-He does have a pretty poor internet connection (20 MBPS DL/35 UL from a speedtest yesterday), but that shouldn't cause this frame rate issue would it? He also says he has had frame rate issues in some random games in the past but couldn't remember which ones offhand, but I can ask him again if anyone thinks its relevant.
PLEASE if you have any suggestions at all they would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for taking the time to read this long post.
