How to increase fps by 50% in Overwatch

 

The easiest way to get better frames for any game is to just lower your graphics setting. However, you don't have to tweak much for the change. Redditor raydialseeker pointed out that the Dynamic Reflections setting is responsible for bringing down frames. Some PC Gamer guys found that if you switch Dynamic Reflections from High to Off, it increased the framerate from 30% to 50%.

Dynamic Reflections setting is "what causes players and other moving objects to be mirrored in pools of water and other shiny surfaces. Buildings, scenery and other static objects still reflect in all their glory, even with the setting turned off." (PC Gamer)

So yeah apparently this is a setting that can drastically alter your fps. That a single setting can make so much difference boogles the mind. There are of course extensive optimization guides for Overwatch. But this is pretty cool to know.

Pretty sick female Mccree, eh?
