Hi! About 3 years ago my parents bought a HP Pavillion 500-214 Office PC. 2 years ago I upgraded it with a GTX 750 TI. I've noticed that I get much lower numbers than most people with this card. I thought that the PSU would be enough to handle it but I'm not sure. My CPU only has issues when there is another program opened along with Overwatch, so I doubt it would be that but it might be. I got PrecisionX to show you guys my results. Without PrecisionX running I get about 35-70 fps on the lowest settings 1080p with 75% render scale.

Here is a link to the PC I use (minus the 750 ti): https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04100368

And here are some of my precisionX results (they're skewed at the end because I closed overwatch and took a screenshot):

I'm completely new to precisionX and not good at getting screenshots so sorry about that.
I also don't really know what the numbers it's showing me mean.

Hopefully you all can help me find out what is causing me FPS drops.
When I normally play I end all unneeded processes and set Overwatch's priority to high on Task Manager.

Also the Power, %, in the top left reached 97% and normally stayed around 60-70% and dropped towards the end. You can't see it in those screenshots.

The root of your problem is the fact that you're on an APU. The processor on that APU is the issue. Might I also ask where you've sourced a benchmark to understand you're getting lower than most? Are you referring to YouTube videos? What is the make and model of the PSU?

I don't think the performance makes sense though.

The APU supposedly has a quad-core similar to an FX-4300. That and a GTX750Ti should do better in Overwatch.

1) You have the monitor connected to the video card (not motherboard)?

2) You have the latest NVidia graphics drivers installed?

3) Run TASK MANAGER -> Performance-> CPU (change that to show all logical cores so there should be FOUR graphs showing.. confirm that and the CPU Speed under load should be roughly 3.8GHz.

(test load with Prime95, Handbrake or something else)

4) THIS SYSTEM should be nearly identical to what you have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o94iapmr9k

Okay, 1. Yes my monitor is plugged in to the GPU. 2. Yes I have the latest drivers. 3. There are four graphs and it says I have 4 logical processors and the speed is around 3.64-3.7 GHz on idle.

Ill run with Prime95 or Handbrake when I get home from school.

Pretty much every video, benchmark, etc. says I should be getting solid 60 fps on Ultra. But I'm on Low at 75% render scale and getting 70fps but it's stuttery down to 35fps. The PSU is an offbrand 300 watt one. If you follow the link to my pc that's all the info I have on the PSU. That's why I think it's the problem.

Could the fact that it's an offbrand 300watt PSU and it's 3 years old mean that my components are limiting themselves because they don't have enough power?

Okay so I ran the Prime95 Test. Here is a screenshot just after the test ended. During the test the clock speed went up to about 3.85 GHz and stayed above 3.5GHZ the entire time. For some reason the clock went dramatically up when I finished the test...have no idea:

Do you think if I upgrade my power supply to something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0450-K1/dp/B01F5LX55K
it will improve my performance ingame?

I went to a power usage calculator website and it recommended me that one.
It has the same dimensions as the sketchy one in my PC right now so fitting it would be no problem.

UNLESS you think the problem could lie elsewhere.
