Hello, I've been having issues with overwatch lately that result in massive fps drops and player models not loading. I seemed to have fixed the issue a few days ago where I turned on turbo clock and just recently it started acting up again. I do have older specs but I know I am capable of running the game at 144+ fps
Specs
Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 SC
Intel core i7 3770 at 3.4 Ghz
4GB corsair vengeance ram
WIN 10
500 GB WD HDD

Actually, 4GB RAM is quite a bit, when you use it at the intended speed.
Unfortunately, the default power settings dumb-down the possible speed of the computer.

Start> Control panel > look in the upper path bar, click on the arrow ">" after "control panel."
this opens a drop down menu
Then click "All...

I thought the same thing too. but it used to run perfectly fine and like I previously stated I thought I fixed it for a couple of days but the same problem returned.
 



Okay. Use DDU to do a clean uninstall of drivers and then reinstall GPU drivers. Try a BIOS update on your mobo.

Antivirus: set for "multimedia mode."
This prevents updating from interrupting your media. If you do not have an antivirus with this feature: get a different antivirus.
Set ALL updates to: manual. This prevents an update from eating resources that you would otherwise be using.

Free antivirus from internet: I do not recommend that you install any "free" security tools.
I do not recommend installing "cleaner," "sweeper," "driver helper,"or any free junk from the internet.

Avoid any download which claims to "fix" your computer.

I recommend that you use a professional all-in-one security application - not a free download.

Please consider, when you install multiple security programs, they can conflict with each-other. That's why you should use "all-in-one" pofessional security.
Restart the computer
Open Bios
Turn off Cool and Quiet (if AMD processor) Save and exit bios settings.
Restart Computer
Problems should be fixed now.
