anybody's using this card or GTX960M GPU playing overwatch?

my laptop spec :
i7 Haswell
GTX 970M 3gb DDR5
8GB ram

wanna ask how does the FPS fair at high settings on a full hd monitor. ( not 4k )

if possible whats the setting you guys use?

i used 960m to play overwatch, on ultra setting, i can achieve somehow 60-70 FPS in practice mode, while in quick play i achieve around 50-60 FPS. i did not notice any lag or whatsoever.

may i know ur laptop's spec? mine sometimes will dip to 45 fps like that, when there's alot of things going on, even on medium settings

i am using Dell inspiron 15 7000 series with I5 processor. have you updated your graphic driver?

if there's alot of activity going on, whats the minimum fps? already updated to latest 1 le

Have the same specs as you but with 16gb ram. Can achieve at least 50fps on ultra too.. Perhaps check your laptop's temperature?

whats ur PC temp? i can achieve 60 fps on ultra, but then the fps will drop in the middle of the game. temp around 70celcius-78

I'm using Illegear z5 with the above spec, on windows 10. could it be the ram?

Should be about the same as yours, doesn't seem to have any throttling. I think it should be normal for 970m FPS to drop a little bit when there are a lot of things going on ultra, otherwise it's a smooth 60 FPS for me too.

I don't think ram matters much, perhaps other users can enlighten us on this issue ?

Pc temperature is high or low? Did you block your lappy air ventilation?

duno whats wrong D:

temp around 75C when the fps drop, from 55-60 drop to 41 for a few minutes. then sometimes it went back to normal.

Before sending in;

have you tried furmark? Or Intel XTU's monitoring software?

Check your HDD, GPU and CPU temps. Your Z5 should have outstanding cooling abilities. When I meant outstanding, it shouldn't even reach 90c at all for CPU and GPU under full fan (the laptop's own fan) blowing. If something is, probably it needs servicing.

Once that's done, look again at the Intel XTU and let it run as you play overwatch. See how the temps kick in when the turboboost is activated (its activated automatically).

Sometimes that's the one that causes all the headache.


have you upgraded your windows from a previous windows recently? (not that its a good thing, but its worth looking into it as one of the causes)

Hi BlizzardCraft,

Have you assigned nvidia dedicated GPU to the overwatch in nvidia control panel? Are you plugging in your power source during gameplay?

i also heard some problems occurred once windows updated, different type of problem

Yeah all updated. Ran the 3d mark graphic test. Got an average score of 2k plus i think.dunongood or not

Yup, agreed on it. Sometime we as an "expert" might cause a lot of unnecessary problem happen.
