Overwatch is a popular Blizzard multiplayer first-person shooter. This game offers fun gameplay and decent graphics. The title looks good and at the same time, it’s not too heavy but let’s say that for Epic quality you’re going to need at least a decent modern mid-range GPU for a comfortable gaming experience.

On the other hand, if you want to see great FPS numbers, the high-end video cards are the way to go (if you can afford them). For this article, we’re going to test two fast Ampere graphics offerings – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (165W) and RTX 3070 (140W).

Don’t forget to take a look at our Top 100 Best Laptops for Overwatch list.
