About Dota 2
Dota 2 is Valve's free-to-play MOBA, the official successor to the original Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients. Two teams, Radiant and Dire, choose from over 120 heroes and fight to destroy the enemy's Ancient. Dota 2 is known as one of the deepest and steepest-learning-curve games in the MOBA genre, itemization, map control, and team strategy run extremely deep. The International tournament has hosted some of the largest prize pools ever awarded for a single esports event.

How can I get more FPS in Dota 2?
In fast competitive shooters like this, favour frame rate over looks: use low shadow and effects quality, keep textures moderate, and cap FPS slightly below your monitor's refresh rate for steadier frame times. Dota 2 recommends 8 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
