Overwatch benchmarks running in 1080p / 4k

There is no doubt that Overwatch is the video game of the moment, created by the Blizzard company, critics have praised it and players are happy to have a new online shooter that brings new challenges to this highly saturated market.

An analysis of Overwatch's performance with a current team could not wait, even with the recent Nvidia GTX 1080. Let's see how this new video game behaves with the different graphics cards that are on the market and if possible play it at 4K.

First of all, comment that the test was carried out by the people from Techpowerup and the base equipment chosen was the Intel Core i7-6700k processor running at 4GHz, 8GB DDR4-2400 and an Asrock Z170 Extreme7 + motherboard, all under the operating system. Windows 10. The graphics cards chosen range from the modest AMD 7870 and GTX 660 to the new GTX 1080.

Benchmark Overwatch 1080p

Setting the game to a resolution of 1080p with the graphics in the maximum configuration, we see that the Overwatch can be played at 60 frames per second from an AMD R7 260X graphics or a GTX 660. This makes us think that Blizzard has done a great job in terms of optimization with this game, which we are not too used to lately.

The new GTX 1080 can move this title with the tip of your fingernail and exceeds 250 frames per second minimum.

Benchmark Overwatch at 4k

When we talk about a screen resolution of 3840 x 2160, or better known as 4K, things change and maintaining 60 frames becomes difficult for the most modest graphics cards. The graphics that can with Overwatch at 4K and 60fps are the R9 Fury, R9 Fury X, GTX 980 Ti, Titan X and GTX 1080.

To play 4K and 30 frames you need at least a GTX 960 or a 7970 in the AMD option, always playing Overwatch at the highest quality.

Remember that we have a selection of the best graphics cards on the market.

As you can see, Overwatch is a very well optimized game and any graphics from three or four years ago can run it at 1080p without too many problems, but at the moment playing 4K in any current video game still requires a large outlay.
