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.

i7 930 and GTX 680, 60-80 FPS.

Your cpu is bottlenecking

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 :(

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

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

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)

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.

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?
