Best Overwatch 2 Settings | Boost FPS & Fix Lag Guide
Original source date
Answer
Open up Overwatch 2 and navigate to your Video Settings. Most of these settings are also available in Overwatch 1, but some additional texture and detail options are available here. Set the Display Mode to fullscreen. This will improve your performance by a lot in most cases. Below, set the Resolution to your native monitor resolution. The Field of View will not change your performance much, and I would like to increase this option to 103.

Disable V-Sync, especially on monitors with a low refresh rate
Disable V-Sync, especially on monitors with a low refresh rate. Disable Triple Buffering and enable the Performance Stats option, including all available performance indicators, such as the FPS, GPU temperature, and VRAM usage, to see how well the game runs on my system. In most cases, NVIDIA graphics card users should set the NVIDIA Reflex option to Enabled. This will reduce input lag and your overall GPU latency. Set the FPS Limit to custom, and set the Frame Rate Cap to a value above your monitor’s refresh rate but below the maximum FPS you can get.

Advanced Overwatch 2 Display Settings
Back in your Overwatch 2 video settings, you can set the overall Graphics Quality preset to Low, Medium or even High, depending on your PC’s performance. Setting it to Ultra or Epic will not make much of a difference when using a 1080p resolution on your monitor. When expanding your Advanced Graphics Quality settings, you can set the Render Scale from 50% to 200%. This option will have a lot of impact on the performance of the game, especially when using a low-end graphics card. This option will be set to 100% by default. If you experience low system performance after lowering most of your video settings, then make sure to reduce the render scale to 75%. This will reduce the visual texture quality of the game but it will certainly make it playable on your system. As this is a competitive first person shooter, I prefer to reduce my texture and detail settings to get the most performance. You might want to increase some of these settings when using a better PC. Set the Texture Quality to Low, which will still leave you with decent in-game quality. I prefer to disable Reflections, Shadow Detail and set the Detail settings below to Low. Turn off Anti-Aliasing as well as Ambient Occlusion.

Sisabling Local Reflections and the other settings, such as Gamma Correction, Contrast, or Brightness will have no impact on the performance of the game.
