So recently my older brother has bought the same computer as me a

1080ti msi duke

Ryzen 7 1700

Msi 350 mate motherboard

 

The issue is he is only getting 90 fps in overwatch on high settings while i get around 200 on the exact same settings.

Both our computers only use a % of its resources for example my graphis card only hits 40% usage. My cpu hits around 15-20% while playing and ram is around 50%.

 

So I was wondering if there was anyway to get overwatch to use more of my computer so I could push higher fps.

 

He has a 144hz 1920x1080 monitor and i have a 240hz 1920x1080 monitor.

 

Yes we have drivers and they are all up to date

Compare your temps with something like HWMonitor, do either one of you have overclocks? There's a lot to compare, from your game profiles in your NVidia settings to the settings in your BIOS. Also what is your RAM speeds compared to his? For example a Ryzen CPU should run better on 3000-3200Mhz RAM than 24000Mhz RAM, although it wouldn't be nearly that big of an FPS gap.

Is V-snyc enabled? Also I have found that some settings will have more GPU impact then one would think (the specific ones elude me right now). Also not all components are not made equally. Just because you both have Ryzen CPUs and the same GPUs and motherboard does not mean they all will preform at X specs. I am talking about the "Silicon Lottery". Most of the time the components will preform extremely close to X specs but sometimes they will not. This is beyond your control. I would also check out Overwatch's forums to see if anyone else is having the same or similar issue.  Also make sure that the BIOS is up to date.

However these are the easiest steps you can take to narrow down the issue:
Step 1: Swap monitors. for a day or two swap monitors, and see if that makes a difference then obviously switch back..
Step 2: Swap GPUs. Just like above swap GPUs for a day or 2.

Step 3: If you have another drive kicking around (doesn't matter what type) load a FRESH load of windows 10 onto it. Install drivers from the Manufacturer's website and then install Overwatch and see if the same issue occurs.

Step 4: With Fresh load repeat steps 1-2. 

 

 

I hope this helps.

My temps are fine cpu is never past 50 and gpu is never past 65 i havr 3000mhz ram and my brother has 3200 mhz both of us have 16gb

And your brother's temps? He is the one having the problem after all.
