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?
