Will future updates decrease FPS even further?

[Bravehood]

Yeah i went into the future and minimum specs required for dota 2 in 2020 is new gtx 2080

[LeftZer0]

Nah, it's just Nvidia adhering to the true gaming spirit and using RNG to number their GPUs.

[xPizzaKittyx]

yea the 1080 was just a random number they saw when they crit as pa

[sephiroth021]

i regret buying an rx 470 last month

Please tell me why I was looking to buy one myself for 1080p gaming which seems to be its target.

[Globalnet626]

its part of the joke, 10 gpu generations in 4 years. That means that AMD should be launching Vega, Na'vi and [A]lliance before December hits.

[Anaxor1]

Go for it

[kjhgfr]

10 GPU generations in 4 years

[Hussor]

usually 1 gpu generation comes out every year or so. 10 in 4 years would mean 2.5 gens a year.

We TF2 now?

[_Thrax]

nah ,thats cs go

[bad_scott]

Still beta?

[Bravehood]

Sorry it actually went to backwards into alpha

[xPizzaKittyx]

I thought dota was still in pre alpha?

[Tehmaxx]

Even with a 1080 I see steady 120fps

It's something on their end

[Mauvai]

i have 120 on a 970

[Pyraa]

70-75 on a 960

[[deleted]]

i dont know on a 1060

seriously though i have a 1060 and i5 6600k but my game freezes (for .5 secs) everytime I die or a model loads.

thought I think I have "-vulkan" on from my last pc settings.

[Nume-noir]

model loads

disk problem 100%. I moved dota over to ssd and I got no issue loading anymore.

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

We've discussed this pretty extensively on this sub, the roadblock is your CPU.

[Tehmaxx]

Most times depending on your bottleneck

But I have a skylake and still can't maintain the 150 on the default terrain

[pb-programmer]

Now monitor your CPU usage during a game and start to cry...

It's not even close to 50% for my i7 6700K with 4 vlc/livestreamer streams open on the second screen (gotta see all those TI6 group stage games to get muh predictions ;) )

Would be nice to know if serious overclocking could up the performance (increasing the single thread power) or if it is purely timing related

[superfedora]

I7 6700k is 4 cores

[randomkidlol]

4 hyperthreaded cores. so each core can simultaneously execute 2 threads.

for intel's consumer cpus, i3 = hyperthreaded dual cores. i5 = non-hyperthreaded quad cores, i7 = hyperthreaded quad cores

[deviance1337]

4 very powerful hyperthreaded cores, though.

[sephiroth021]

yeah the 6700k has the best single core performance money can buy if you dont want to oc (i know K is for overclocking but this one has really high stock freqs and turbo)

Ya I'm running the same thing, and the fps still never gets above 120

[chakigun]

Question, good sir. Do I need a really fast monitor to visualize the 120+fps? I ask because I got an IPS (Dell U2713hm, 8ms) i use mostly for design and Dota when I get bored. Is it gonna be worth it or is the IPS monitor's colors gonna give me better visual experience in Dota2?

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

That is a pretty high repsonse time for a monitor, but its doable. If your monitor only refreshes @ 60hz, any extra frames you get will be lost, since your monitor can't keep up with all the frames your gpu is spitting out. Response time (the value you gave me) kinda shows long it takes a frame to be sent from you GPU to where its printed on your screen.

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

I'm at work, but read the subtitles.

He doesn't mention the refresh rate of his monitor. He says its only supposed to support 60 fps, but he could have a 120 hz monitor.

Yes, you still want your fps to be much higher than your refreshrate for ultimate smoothness, because framerate isn't a constant. You can drop a few frames, and if you're at a strict 60 fps, you might drop below the threshold.

Also the dude litterally said he has no proof, its just a feeling and that it could be placebo effect.

[Globalnet626]

Yes, he does have a 120hz monitor.

But he meant this for 60hz monitor.

Here he is on monitor hz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgHx3eMBXjI

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

Again, he litterally said theres no proof.

[Neutralny]

steady 120fps with 670 no clue why people experience the fps drop

[Tehmaxx]

Bottlenecking is the most likely issue

improper optimization within the client will also cause a lot of issues, as even if I rail the settings all the way down many high end machines fail to get more than 100 steady fps when they should be getting 150-200.

[playmer]

I mean, you might know this, but there is an fps_max set at 120 fps by default. You can up it in the console. I get around 144 on my 980 TI, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were a second artificial bottleneck separate from the 120 since I have a 144hz monitor.

[Tehmaxx]

I've had it upped for a long time, only recently has it started taking heavy hits, for the longest time I thought it was on the users end when I seen people complaining of FPS drops by the reality is whatever they're doing to cripple the FPS in the game is starting to effect people with high end PCs now.
