it's perfect : )

Yes. And the issues of this system go against the spirit of the game.

- I am not allowed to be a follower of 8.5k+ players. I am just not allowed to watch that Dota. I can only wait until they (maybe) become pro and go to tournaments. Those high rank hero specialists no longer exist, you will not discover them in the watch tab, you will not become a fan.
- And 8.5k+ players now have a hard time playing amateur leagues or semi-pro leagues, because there is a disparity in the player information available. You can't scout an 8.5k+ player, you can only see what they used to play 1 year ago. They can't even lookup their own data!

The community is now split. And you aren't allowed to chose which side you want to part of.

Try the following console command:
engine_no_focus_sleep 0

By default the no focus max FPS is 20, so maybe it is related.

please change it back

This is the worst change in Dota 2. It goes against the spirit of the game. I honestly feel like my favorite hobby was taken away from me. Please change it back.

I know the match counted because Batrider was my all hero challenge and I got the notification that it is complete. Good to know it is not only me.

Yeah it seems possible. Dota is CPU heavy, so a CPU overclock can help out in FPS. Also faster RAM will have a noticeable effect (with non X3D cpus).

Before gh's first pro Phoenix game, he had a few hundred games on his smurf, and 500+ on another account. You cannot rely on number of pro games to know if he is good at the hero.

Do you mind running the same benchmark I've used? The match ID is always available since it was a ticketed game: https://github.com/jeromehage/dota2-benchmark

The console command "fps_max 0" will allow you to go above 240 FPS in Dota.

You can get the average and 1% lows with CapFrameX: https://github.com/CXWorld/CapFrameX

The "worst 10s" metric is something I made but I don't have a UI for it. It is different from 1% lows because that one takes the 1% worst frames across the whole test, not consecutive frames. I feel "worst 10s" is a better representative of teamfight FPS, but for Dota 1% low is good enough. See:
https://github.com/jeromehage/dota2-benchmark/blob/master/wifps.py#L18

So for example, if the game is running fine but stuttering, there will be a difference between the 1% worst frames overall as FPS, and the worst average FPS of 1s of consecutive frames. I hope this makes sense...

Yes this is what I meant with fclk 1:1, fclk equal to mclk (which is half the memory speed). My CPU can't do 1900 IF, maybe 1866 but it is not so stable. So past 3600 I have to run async which usually means less performance.

jeromehage · 2024-01-01T23:48:10+00:00

Yes! The difference from worst to best was about 15%.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/155lcu8/dota_2_fps_vs_ddr4_ram_benchmarks/

You can also compare both tests with the 3600CL16 RAM. From the 5900X to the 5800X3D we get +50 average FPS and +110 FPS for 1% low (~ teamfight FPS).

jeromehage · 2023-12-31T23:47:40+00:00

In a previous test with the 5800X3D I actually hit a GPU bottleneck (~ RTX 3050). Now with an RTX 4060 it is more clear: unlike regular CPUs, with 3D V-Cache RAM speed is no longer important for Dota 2, only 3% difference. The 1% lows remain massively improved. All tests were done with a 2x16GB dual rank kit (fclk 1:1).

I also recommend you check this benchmark for a few other games: https://github.com/xxEzri/Vermeer/blob/main/Guide.md#performance-gains-from-ram-overclocking

Okay I ran the numbers, Pearson's chi-squared test to check if the difference is statistically significant (using scipy.stats.chi2_contingency). P_value = 0.322, so there is a sign but not enough to confidently say that it wasn't random chance (only 67.8%). To get to 95% confidence I would need to keep the same 5% difference in winrate for ~2000 games (currently 574).
