Can I play Overwatch 2 with Intel UHD Graphics 630?
Asked by

I've run into some GPU issues and had to switch back to the Intel UHD Graphics 630. I have an i5-10400 CPU, but whenever I load Overwatch 2, I can barely get my FPS above 10. Is this normal? I've set all my graphics to the lowest settings, but it's still pretty unplayable. What can I do?

Have you considered using GeforceNow? It could be a quick fix for playing without needing to upgrade your GPU right away.

Nope, you're definitely not getting good frame rates with that setup. The UHD 630 is pretty underwhelming for gamingโespecially for something demanding like Overwatch 2. It's primarily designed for basic tasks, not gaming. Even cranking everything to low won't likely help enough. Just to manage expectations, hitting 10-20 FPS isnโt surprising. You really need to look at fixing your GPU issue because the performance youโre getting now is typical for that integrated graphics card.

Yeah, that sounds expected. Intel UHD Graphics 630 is not really meant for serious gaming. If you're stuck with it for now, try lowering your game resolution to 720p, set everything to the lowest graphics settings, and turn the render scale down. Also, make sure you play in fullscreen mode. But even then, you might still face issues. Honestly, even getting an older, budget-friendly GPU would be a significant upgrade over integrated graphics.

By the way, if you're looking at system requirements, the minimum specs for Overwatch 2 really call for a dedicated GPU. For basic gaming, you're looking at something like a GTX 600 series or AMD Radeon HD 7000 series at the very least. Just keep these specs in mind for when you can upgrade!
