Overwatch is playing on the Surface Pro 3. What’s happening?
I tried running Overwatch on my old Surface Pro 3. After setting it up with an Intel i5 and 4GB RAM, it ran smoothly at 30 to 50 frames per second on all low difficulty levels. Not impressive for a tablet, but it worked just fine. The game felt responsive and played well without lag, especially during longer sessions. I noticed it occasionally dropped below 30 FPS during intense battles, but rarely for more than a few seconds. Overall, it’s a solid performance considering the hardware limitations. Great work, Microsoft!
Overwatch demands significantly more from a system compared to TF2, mainly due to its lower optimization. TF2 performs well with medium settings and runs smoothly at around 100 frames per second, whereas Overwatch can strain even a GTX 1080 when pushed to 4K. Blizzard should focus on better optimization, as the game remains quite challenging to run at its current state.
