- Lowering your in-game graphics settings will increase your frame rate.
- Disable background-running apps and services.
- Prioritize the processing of Overwatch 2. To do that, open the Task Manager > Details tab > right-click on Overwatch 2 > Set priority > choose High.

How to Monitor Overwatch 2 FPS
There are several third-party programs that are capable of showing you the frame rate while in-game. These programs are usually lightweight, and you don’t have to worry about them using too much processing memory. We recommend using any of the following to show the FPS on the screen while playing Overwatch 2:
- MSI Afterburner
- FPS counter
- Fraps
- GeForce Experience in-game overlay
- Steam in-game overlay
If you experience some lag or any performance issues while using any of this software, simply turn it off.
