Hello fellow gamers,

I recently upgraded my GPU to a 7800xt nitro+, but in high FPS situations, like overwatch 2, the card stutters sometimes. Like going from the desired 160fps down to like 80 for a second. In general, the FPS are not stable. Before a match it hovers in the 100s regions. That can’t be right?

I tried setting everything very uncompetitively on ultra or max just for giggles and because I thought I could. 3440x1440p. Is this the dreaded “AMD driver issue”?

    I found the likely problem. The card has trouble with overwatch running DX12. If I run it in DX11 it works fine.

      Huh, weird. AMD cards usually run better in DX12. But glad you found a solution.

        I am quite positive it’s a problem on Blizzards side. They officially still don’t support RX 7000 cards in overwatch 2. They are a small indie studio after all.
