I recently purchased Overwatch and sat excitedly at my desk as it started downloading. Since it was late, I chose to wait until the next morning to play. When I turned it on, everything felt great—60 FPS with Shadowplay on Max, and excellent texture quality. This performance lasted for a while, but then I had exams and couldn’t play. Now I’m back and it’s only 10 FPS when idle. Check the profile for details. Thanks!

It seems the game might be struggling with the CPU instead of the GPU. You could try adjusting settings to prioritize the GPU or detach the GPU to test performance. I've faced a similar issue before—it's quite frustrating to troubleshoot. Please update and let me know your progress.

You're using an FX series CPU without built-in graphics.

Hey, you didn’t notice the driver reinstallation option. Be sure to fully delete existing drivers before adding new ones. The 960 should operate without issues. You might also want to reinstall Overwatch for better performance.
