Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Overwatch 2 runs at very high FPS already; lowering render scale (or FSR) is mainly for weaker GPUs or high-refresh 1440p/4K.
Shadow DetailLow+9% FPS
The biggest GPU cost in Overwatch — Low/Medium is the standard competitive pick.
Effects DetailLow+6% FPS
Ability and ultimate effects. Lowering both gains FPS and reduces clutter in team fights.
Lighting QualityLow+6% FPS
Lighting fidelity. Medium is a popular high-FPS choice.
Local ReflectionsOff+5% FPS
Screen-space reflections. Off is a common competitive setting.
Model DetailLow+4% FPS
Hero and world model detail. Modest cost.
Ambient OcclusionOff+4% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; many players disable it for clarity.
Local Fog DetailLow+4% FPS
Atmospheric fog detail. A small, safe saving.
Antialias QualityOff+4% FPS
Edge smoothing. TAA is the cleanest; lighter options gain a touch of FPS.
Ambient DetailLow+4% FPS
Background scenery and clutter density. Modest cost; Medium is plenty.
Refraction QualityLow+3% FPS
Distortion through glass and heat haze. A small, safe saving.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Texture sharpness — trivial on modern cards. Keep it High.
Texture Filtering QualityUltrabaseline
Keeps long sightlines sharp — effectively free, use the highest.
