PC Gaming for Overwatch ?

[JimWolf]

Hello,
First of all I'm sorry if I post in the wrong place.
I'm looking for a Gamer PC, to play Overwatch on Linux, having been on Linux for a very long time despite my young age, I don't want to use Windows, this shit created by Microsoft.
So I would like to know if for 1000$ it is possible to have a good PC to play and full amd if possible ^^

 

Anyway, I'm sorry if there are pronunciation errors, I use Deepl because I'm French, but I think the Linus community is better able to answer me

Does Overwatch even have Linux support? Or are you intending on running it through one of those programs like Wine?

 

As for a budget of $1000 and being able to play Overwatch, i don't see why not.

 

PC Part Picker has builds that they update quite frequently as new products are released.

Here is their featured AMD build in your price range: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/t832FT/great-amd-gaming-build

It has an Nvida GPU by default but you can swap that out for an AMD GPU of an equivalent price as you wish.

I use Lutris (Programs like Wine) ^^ Because it is not supported !

i have a friend who plays overwatch and actually just decided to switch to linux as his only os and not dual boot. he has had so many issues, he has tried amd cards with no sucess and now switched to a 1080ti still having lots of issues

Right now what I'm reading is that a GTX 970 and an i5-4690k can run it (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33746)

Especially since I'm not looking for ultra quality but this one.

Update to this: saw a headline this morning that many Linux users are reporting having their accounts banned in the last couple days.

Not sure about Linux but I play Overwatch on EPIC settings with the following AMD setup:

 

FX 8350 no OC runs my CPU about 55%

Gigabyte HD 7850 2gb in Crossfire runs each GPU at 50-55% with 1.4gb and .6gb allocated to each cards VRAM.

1080p monitor and I lock at 60fps...it never moves FPS.

 

So easily doable under 1g.
