How to benchmark performance before jumping into match

I'd like to make the game look as good as possible, but also dont want to drop to 10FPS in the middle on a match.

Any way to tryout a high CPU consuming scenario before jumping into a game? (So I can try to maximize performance but keep it over 30 FPS)

Solution 1:

There is no video benchmark in overwatch to test your hardware capabilities.

But you can either play a regular game vs. AI. This would fill up your team with random players.

Or you can create a custom game and fill both teams with AI.

You can't really simulate the most demanding situations but you get an idea about where you are in terms of frame drops. In case of the 30 FPS as your lower limit, better make sure you don't drop below 35 FPS while testing.
