My issue : Overwatch on low settings - no matter what i do, My fps is always dropping mainly in team fights ( i capp it at 150 fps and it drops upto 100 fps during team fights and makes its hard to aim n shoot)

My system is
Cpu : i5 6600k ( was running at 4.2 OC ) - right now i moved back to 3.5 default

GPU 1060 gtx ( I used a 960 gtx as this problem started - bought 1060 still having issues)
Monitor = asus vg248qe 144hz

Things ive tried :

  • Game settings have always been low as possible ( and even render scale down to 75%)

    Bought a new GPU 1060 still having issues ( although if i uncap the frames i see it can go higher)

    I've put my CPU back to 3.5 but it was fine on the OC at 4.2 I had tested prior to this but ran out of ideas

    I uses GPU tweak to change OC of gpu or turn it off , also used it to stop services running
    turned off everything thats not needed in background + set game exe to higher priority.

Nothing is working its extremely frustrating i want to throw my PC is the Bin and just give up.

I spent so much time and money but still I can't play the game i enjoy smoothly.

Please any advice at all Im running out of options on what to do.

I don;t see anything strange with your logs. Your hardware is working flawlessly. Some remarks though: Your cpu temps are too low under that load. This is good and leaves huge overclocking headroom along with voltage increase.
Like i said, if you cap your fps at a lower number i.e 110, you won't get the stuttering. It's not a big deal playing at 110 fps from 144 fps. I think it's just the game optimization. Searched a bit and found many reports from users not being able to maintain stable 144 fps. Increase rendering quality again, and quality settings to force your gpu work harder since there is much headroom in it.
Some users report disabling HPET in bios helped with the frame drops. You may want to take a look at that. Also try...

Have you checked your temps? Cpu spiking temps can do that. I don't see a gpu issue here. What is your power supply? Use Afterburner monitoring and check your cpu,gpu and ram usage during the drops. That will help find out the bottleneck, if any. What ram do you have and how much?

I have a corsair 600w power supply, and my Ram is 20gb I use 2 x 8 sticks of DDR4 Hyper x fury and a 4gb normal stick or ddr4 ram i got with the motherboard.

In the past Ive looked at temps and never really seen much wrong i mean the cpu and gpu temps have always run fairly low not too hot.

Would the extra ram stick perhaps be an issue as its not the same model?
I will try again with temps is there a recorder that tracks temps in a graph specifically?

You need to check temps. Use RealTemp for cpu temp. See your maximum temp under load. You can use Prime95 and stress your cpu and check max cpu temps with RealTemp. Remove that 4gb asap. You are getting a meaningless amount of ram and you probably lose dual channel/bandwidth. Go to ram configuration and enable xmp profile, or manually set the ram frequency at the advertised speed.

I removed the extra RAM, also I did a prime 95 stress test as advised and the temps seem fine ( picture below)

also this si what the afterburner looked like after a match - the spike drop marker in red is when i finished and left the game to take screen shot

Temps are fine. I can;t see at your Afterburner graphs your cpu usage. Check whether it maxes out during your drops. That would be a cpu bottleneck. Tweak some settings, try to set Render Quality in game at 100%. After all your fps are not bad. I understand the feeling of stuttering during the drops. A solution would be to cap it at lower frame rate.

this was my cpu percentages if thats what you mean to look at http://prntscr.com/j5kzxh

I have already set my settings all to low and render scale has been set to 75% for the past few months ( seems so strange that i buy nice GPU and still nothings changed lol )

I just want smooth fps :( thank you for your help so far it is appreciated

I did try another match and tried to log files with afterburner, the file is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqjgv1e8yh0u2b9/HardwareMonitoring.hml?dl=0

incase my screenshots missed out any valuable info
