Overwatch Open Beta PC Performance Review

4K Testing with AMD R9 Fury X and Nvidia GTX 980Ti

 

Right now the highest refresh rate 4K monitors are 60Hz and with 4K 60Hz being at the limit of what DisplayPort 1.2 can handle this is unlikely to change until DisplayPort 1.3 hits monitors and GPUs later this year. 

With 60Hz 4K being the limit of what current display and GPU technology can handle it is very surprising to see that Overwatch is able to surpass it with such ease. Both the GTX 980Ti and the R9 Fury X were able to maintain minimum framerates that are over 60FPS at up to High settings at 4K, making this game ideal for steady 4K gaming.  

At 4K both AMD and Nvidia perform similarly throughout, with both offering an almost identical experience at High settings.
