I've been facing some GPU issues and had to switch back to using Intel UHD Graphics 630. I have an i5-10400 CPU, but when I try to load Overwatch 2, my frames per second barely reach 10. Is this normal? I've set all graphics settings to the lowest possible but the game still feels unplayable. Any advice on how to improve performance would be appreciated!

If you're eager to play, you might want to give GeForce Now a shot as it allows you to stream games without being reliant on your hardware.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to play Overwatch 2 with decent frame rates on UHD 630. It's one of those expected outcomes given how demanding modern games are. I'd say you're pretty much at the limit with those specs.
Yes, the performance you’re experiencing is pretty much what to expect. The UHD 630 isn’t designed for gaming tasks—it's more for basic functions. If you’re stuck with it for now, consider lowering your resolution to 720p, using the lowest preset settings, and setting the render scale as low as possible. Fullscreen mode might help a bit too, but even then, you might still see around 10-20 FPS. Until you can get a proper GPU, gaming will be rough. Even a budget used GPU would be a huge upgrade over integrated graphics.
For Overwatch's requirements, you're looking at a minimum of a GTX 600 series or similar for a decent experience. The UHD 630 is well below that threshold. If you're interested in looking at the specs, it's essential to know your current setup really needs a dedicated graphics card for good gaming.
