Overwatch 2 refreshed the original with an engine update focused on larger maps and better lighting, while maintaining excellent optimization. The shift to a 5v5 format slightly reduced the visual clutter, helping with frame rate stability. NVIDIA Reflex is essential for reducing latency, supported on GTX 900 series and up. While minimum specs are low, competitive play at 144Hz+ requires a reasonably modern CPU (Intel Skylake / Ryzen Zen 1 or newer) to handle the fast-paced physics and game state updates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 18 to 90 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 17 to 72 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 6 to 22 FPS.
The Quadro K3100M is 77% below recommended, but 20% above minimum for Overwatch 2. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 340% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-4770).
The Quadro K3100M sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $865.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 18 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k high, the Quadro K3100M sets the ceiling at about 10 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 287 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 97% (FPS gap: 277 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Quadro K3100M is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 91% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 96% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 89% | GPU Limits CPU 91% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 96% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 97% | GPU Limits CPU 97% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Quadro K3100M will struggle to run Overwatch 2 at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 18 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $865.38 ($465.38 CPU + $400 GPU). Your Quadro K3100M is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($400) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Radeon Pro Vega 56 for around $399 (Rank #97 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Overwatch 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro K3100M is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Overwatch 2 does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Overwatch 2 requires at minimum a Core i3-560 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 600 series (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-4770 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 8 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Overwatch 2 FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
