What these figures do not say about Overwatch 2
The numbers come from the publisher. What frame rate Overwatch 2 reaches on your machine they do not say: that depends on resolution, detail level and how processor and graphics card work together. The Performance Hub estimates it for Overwatch 2, it does not measure it.
The hardware floor for Overwatch 2
This floor comes out of the frame rate model: it looks for the weakest buyable part in our catalogue that the model still credits with the target rate for Overwatch 2. It is a lower bound, not a buying recommendation, and none of it is measured.
For 60 frames at 1080p the model settles on Intel Arc A380 together with Intel Core i3-12100. For that pair it works out 86 frames.
For 144 frames at 1440p the model settles on NVIDIA RTX 5050 together with Intel Core i3-12100. For that pair it works out 171 frames.
