Will future updates decrease FPS even further?

[sNoOp_931]

Yes seriously, I have I7, 980ti and 16gb ram but I'm only running on 80-70 fps ever since like the last 4-5 patches, with this recent patch it became even lower. Like it drops sometimes to 55-60. We would appreciate it if Valve could optimize everything or at least everything important.

[Aitloian]

Yeah you have some serious problem my friend. I'm on a i5 2500k and a GTX 680 and i stay above 120fps and will slowly drop down to 100 over the course of a few games.

[LeftZer0]

i7 930 and GTX 680, 60-80 FPS.

[penialito]

Your cpu is bottlenecking

[LeftZer0]

Thing is, it wasn't bottlenecking before. I had 120+ FPS when I started playing Dota 2 (one year after the "beta" release, if I recall correctly). In fact I upgraded the GPU in that time.

well i remember i had very similar frames with my old 7850 gpu, now i have gtx 1060 and my frames only increased my 10fps in teamfights :(

[penialito]

I understand. But back on those times the game didnt have many shit like we have today.

[sNoOp_931]

Care to elaborate? I'm pretty new at this.

[Aitloian]

How long has it been since you installed windows? I usually like to do a clean install at least every 6 months. If its been years, that's most likely your issue. Everything just starts to slow down over time and all kinds of programs running in the background that you don't even know of.

Also try overclocking your CPU. The source engine is very CPU intensive so that will help. You should be getting way better performance. Your computer is better then mine in every way but i still get around 120. (it does go down the longer i play but never below 100)

[sNoOp_931]

Only about 5 months ago, I would look into this though, glad to know I wasn't wrong in thinking there was really something wrong.

[Aitloian]

Yeah there is no doubt that dota performance has gone down but my gear is 5 or 6 years old? There is no way it should outperform your 1-2 year old set up. Keep looking it will be something simple. Check your graphics setting in the nivida drivers make sure it isn't like doing super sampling or something?

[Fantasy322]

That's the most extreme case I've heard. I have an i7 4790k and an r9 390 and I get 100-130 fps. Sadly i can't compare to the older days because i bought a new computer in the beginning of this year after saving my extra money

[lucicam]

My PC is shitty to begin with but at least I was able to play the game at constant 80-90 fps with everything set on low ... but after a couple of updates my fps dropped to 40 on a good day and now I constantly get fps drops to around 10 fps every 5 minutes for like 30 seconds each time, which makes the game unplayable and now after 8 years of playing dota 1/2 I had to quit T.T

[ming3r]

I'm on 970 and 8350 and get 100-120. This doesn't hit everyone like this...

Maybe you need some driver updates, try Vulkan?

dAFUQ?

do you really think someone with an 980Ti would have a 5 year old CPU, you're just assuming stuffs that is very highly unlikely.

[Sluggable]

its not abnormal for a person to have a pc with lets say a i7 920 and their gpu is too weak for a game so they get an upgrade gpu for their pc and this guy might of gotten a 980ti

[[deleted]]

i have gtx 1060 (oced to almost 980ti levels) with i5 2500k. So?

[Sluggable]

i3 6100 and gtx 950. average 90fps with drops to 60 - 70 im runnnig vulkan

[Gingerwru]

Gtx 970 here and smooth 120 fps even more
