overwatch on low end pcs?

Anyone have any idea on how well it fares? I'm going to be away at college and will only have a mediocre performance laptop to accompany me.

And before anyone tells me to just get a pc for gaming, I already have one. The size of the case is just too big to fit practically. I also won't have the mental stamina to not play when I need to be doing homework.

I won't care about graphics or much really, since I'm trying to work my way into competitive (I'm really liking the tank role but I'd like enough frames to play competently).

Any help/suggestions is appreciated :)

As long as your pc has a dedicated graphics card and a semi recent processor if you set everything to low @ 50% viewscale you should be fine.

what are the specs of your low end pc?

the best tip i can give other than obviously killing the graphic settings is to enable the option that automatically closes battlenet when running a game, battlenet eats so much fps it's insane, i was running firewatch at 130 fps and it was laggy as shit i had to close battlenet and it worked fine, yes i mean firewatch.
overwatch also had a great fps boost i stopped having fps drops since i activated that option

apologies for the late reply, but I've finally gotten around to checking the specs of my laptop.

```AMD A8 7410 APU with AMD radeon r5 graphics, 2200 Mhz with 4 cores```

I'm honestly not very knowledgeable in the field of hardware, so I'm probably just going to do what you and RecurveZ had suggested and hope that I'll be able to make it performance wise.

Thanks for the help as well

Hopefully things work out for you, my pc's not the greatest either.

I've also had a noticeable boost in smoothness using razer cortex. http://www.razerzone.com/cortex/boost i'd give that a shot as well.

Macbook pro 15inch. I get 50-70 fps consistently though so its not too bad. You do need to play smarter though because frame drops will occasionally just lose you fair 1v1s. If you play winston or something it should be essentially irrelevant though.

You can get 60+ with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G. Just have to OC both the Processor/Graphics on the APU, have decently fast RAM and configure your in game quality appropriately.

Good luck.
