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.
