I recently increased the RAM in my laptop from 6GB to 14GB because data transfers between RAM and the page file were causing significant lag in games. For instance, Overwatch would take a long time to load character models or maps even after hours of play. After the upgrade, performance improved noticeably with faster data loading and consistent results. NVIDIA GeForce Experience guided the settings choices post-upgrade, though it never provided optimal configurations. While it functions well for the first hour, performance drops later due to thermal throttling or heavy workloads on my machine. Here are my specifications; I’m curious what others with similar setups use for settings and what they recommend for smooth gameplay. Toshiba Qosmio X70-A (late 2013), Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Intel i5-4200M (2.5GHz), NVIDIA GTX 770M, 14GB DDR3 RAM at 1600MHz. Let me know if you need anything else, thanks!

It's unclear how well a 770M performs. You might want to adjust the Overwatch settings manually until stability is achieved.

I run at lower performance than your more powerful rig since I dislike hitting below 100 fps. The game remains visually clear even at low settings. Just pick any configuration that maintains steady 60 fps for you.

I’d start everything at medium and gradually reduce until you reach the desired frame rate. You might actually achieve over 60 FPS with mostly medium settings, though I’d suggest lowering a bit. The game remains visually appealing even at low settings, so it’s not too bothersome to tweak them.
