RTX 4090: Blizzard increases FPS cap because of Geforce RTX 4090
Due to the high performance of the Geforce RTX 4090, the FPS limit for the upcoming Overwatch 2 has been increased to 600 frames per second. The new Geforce flagship should already be able to achieve more than 400 frames per second in WQHD, while even more should be possible with adjusted settings. Therefore, read more about Overwatch 2 and the cooperation with graphics card manufacturers below.
Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 4000 series should be significantly faster than the current model series due to the higher packing density and significantly higher computing power. As a result, in addition to smoother 4K gaming, 8K gaming is probably also possible for the first time, at least to a limited extent. On the other hand, gamers can also use the high raw performance of the graphics cards to achieve maximum frame rates in lower resolutions. Nvidia is therefore advertising the RTX 4090 specifically as a 300 FPS+ card in WQHD, which should bring enthusiasts advantages in competitive games.

Other features such as Reflex for minimizing latency are used, which are intended to further improve the experience. One title that Nvidia has used in its presentation of the RTX 4090 is Overwatch. The competitive shooter already received support for Reflex in 2020 and is one of the flagship titles of the technology. Now Nvidia has managed to get the developers to raise the second part’s FPS cap because the Geforce RTX 4090 is fast enough for it.
Already in WQHD, the new Geforce flagship in Overwatch 2, which is to be released on October 4th, should reach more than 460 frames per second. On the other hand, up to 600 frames per second were measured in lower resolutions and detail levels, which corresponds to the new limit of Overwatch 2. It is still unclear whether even higher frame rates would have been possible in practice.
With such high frame rates, the processor used naturally also plays a very important role. Nvidia used an Intel Core i9-12900K for demonstration in a first teaser, one of the fastest gaming CPUs currently available, but which should also be overtaken by Raptor Lake and AMD’s Raphael this year. In addition to the Nvidia optimization, Overwatch 2 should also come onto the market directly with an FSR implementation, although it is not yet clear whether version 2.0 is already being used.
