Unless you have a top-of-the-range PC, you’ll likely notice a performance drop when switching from Overwatch to Marvel Rivals as the latter’s requirements are much higher.
Overwatch 2 recommends you have at least the GTX 1060 from 2016, which has 6GB of DDR5 memory. In comparison, Marvel Rivals requires 2019’s RTX 2060 (Super) with 8GB of DDR6 memory − a significantly more powerful card. Plus, it needs double the RAM even on its minimum requirements.
