Oh no, no upgrading needed on the graphics card. First, make sure your drivers from Nvidia are updated to the latest. But second, as long as your fps don't dip below 60 fps, you're fine. 60 fps is the minimum frames needed to create a smooth visual for a computer monitor in whatever you're looking at. If you see tearing, as in the image looks like it's being cut horizontally, syncing the frame rates in the game settings will help. It WILL limit your frames to 60 but does help with tearing. But to answer your question outright, I'm not sure when your frames are dropping. Is it going from the menu to in-game? Is it when you maybe go from a small enclosed space in game to a larger space requiring more processing that causes the drop? Or maybe the game is geared toward AMD GPU's instead of Nvidia? I don't know but what I do know is your setup is fine.

yeah but overwatch is a heavy game, so the more fps the better for me, also when the fps does drop game stutters a lot sometimes i get screen tearing, even when capped
