Yes. The GeForce RTX 3050 8GB is well above Overwatch's recommended spec. We estimate ~111 fps at 1080p high (range 78–144, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~78 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: medium preset

NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 3050 8GB back.
Processor needed for ~111 fps: Ryzen 5 3600 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 111.
