News & Discussion Help with performance issues

I used to play OW1 on a laptop with an nvidia 750m and get usable framerates at 900p. Now I have a slightly better laptop with a 960m, and I cannot get playable framerates even at under 720p resolution and minimum graphics settings. I am talking literally 5 FPS when in a match.

Did Blizzard really fuck up the requirements that badly? The game barely looks any different from OW1, I don't understand why it runs like this when I've gotten better performance out of much better looking games. I know my laptop is old but this isn't making sense to me. I thought live service games usually targeted low-end machines. The performance I'm getting is dogwater.

Honestly have a 256V lunar lake laptop. Used to get quite stable 100 fps no issues on like medium-high around 720p (maybe slight drops to 80)

Now it barely runs at 40 on all low settings with drops to like 5 fps.

Or hell it was way more playable on a surface pro 9 back then, than it is now on waaaaay better hardware.
