How To Increase FPS in Overwatch 2 With Video Settings
While we don’t have to tweak very many settings in the video tab, there’s one option that has a huge affect on in-game performance: Dynamic Render Scale. This setting is on by default, and essentially adjusts the in-game resolution on the fly in the interest of keeping a consistent framerate. While it sounds great in theory, adjusting the resolution of the game in the middle of the action can still cause framerate hiccups to happen when it occurs. Because of this, if you need to lower the in-game resolution to increase FPS, it’s better to turn off Dynamic Render Scale and instead set Render Scale to “custom” and find a percentage that works best for your PC to run Overwatch 2 more smoothly. Do be sure to keep in mind that the lower the percentage, the blurrier the image on-screen will be. I recommend experimenting between 70% and 100%, because anything lower will make things blurry to the point where it may be difficult to tell what’s going on. With that preamble out of the way, here are the best Overwatch 2 video settings to raise FPS:

How To Increase FPS in Overwatch 2 With Graphics Settings
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the first step in this window to increase our FPS is to set the in-game graphics quality preset to “Low.” This serves as a fine enough baseline to start with, but there are a few settings we should tweak to increase FPS even further. If you’re struggling in the FPS department, be sure to lower Texture Quality down from the default of High. Similarly, the Low preset doesn’t outright disable antialiasing, so be sure to turn that option off as well. Lastly, though its impact on performance is minimal, changing Damage FX to Low can help reduce visual clutter when taking damage. Here are the best graphics quality settings in Overwatch 2 to increase FPS:
