Geforce RTX 4090 achieves 500 fps in Overwatch 2

Few days ago, Blizzard released Overwatch 2, which is a reboot of the game series. The old game is turned off and the new one is started free to play– Model. Alongside the new game, Nvidia took the opportunity to share its performance numbers, as both the Geforce RTX 3000 and RTX 4000 families are included.

Various graphics cards at 1440p should be tested with the Intel Core i9-12900K, but other hardware-related specs are missing. Since the test also measures latency with Reflex, it was also paired with a 360Hz refresh rate monitor and Logitech’s G Pro Superlight X.

Not surprisingly, the RTX 4090 with 507 fps is at the top of the list in terms of frame rate. Nvidia also stresses that the developers initially set a limit at 400 frames per second, which they then had to raise so as not to limit the new graphics card. It is then followed by the two RTX 4080 models at 368 and 295 fps, respectively.

The RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti are both missing from the RTX 3000 series. Instead, the RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 were tested. For the first two, scores drop at 249 and 195 fps, respectively, but drop to 122 fps in The second for the smallest in context. For those who want to go above 144fps with the RTX 3060, it is recommended to go down to 1080p.

It should be noted that these are Nvidia’s own numbers and it is not clear from the table whether the measured frame rate is an average or the highest measured value. Based on the accompanying video, it appears to be the last. In addition, the comparison is a bit lopsided due to the loss of the top-end cards of the RTX 3000 series. However, both the new and old graphics cards seem to perform well in Overwatch 2 and the numbers provide an interesting little taste of the results when the new models flex their muscles.
