So yeah, I was wondering if someone like @nepacaka had figured out a way to ultra downscale overwatch cpu eating game enough to be playable on a low end pc like mine.
Heck I can do hawken competitions at 24fps here not even playing with plastic settings.
I guess overwatch which is considered an optimized game could definitely run somehow* well enough on my computer to keep my fps at least a 24fps? Right now I found a system_V0.ini file config that is better than anything else I tried but still drop to 12fps when every player is facing each other at the same time because of the "escort the supply train" kind of TF2 game mode.
here are my specs:
