Overwatch 1440p performance requires sufficient CPU power for smooth gameplay.
I usually play Overwatch on my PC, but during setup I was wrong about my i5 6600K being sufficient. I’m reaching 90% CPU usage and only managing 90 to 110 frames. My GPU is a 1070 that doesn’t exceed 35% load, and I have around 16 GB RAM that stays at about half capacity. What upgrade should I consider to reach my full 144Hz? Or are there other ways to boost performance beyond overclocking? The overclocking isn’t consistently improving frame rates—sometimes it gives only a few extra frames. I want to run maximum settings on Overwatch and other Blizzard titles. My recent overclocking attempts in BIOS don’t show the loading screen anymore, so I’m unsure how to check if I’m really overclocked. I use CPU-Z but don’t know what to look for.
