Dota 2 came out almost a decade ago in July 2013. Valve gave a unique twist to this game, which is now considered one of the best 5v5 MOBA games to ever come out. Due to the competitive nature of the game, the players are always looking for ways to gain an advantage over the competition.
Increasing FPS is a great way to gain an advantage over the competition. But, Dota 2’s settings menu is extremely confusing for the average player. And sometimes changing the settings is not enough to gain an fps boost. So, today we’ve come to you with a list of ways to increase your fps and gain an advantage. Let’s get straight into it.
Best Dota 2 Settings for high FPS & no input lag
Before we fire up the game and start tweaking the settings we’ll optimize your system.
System optimization
The first thing you’ll do is make sure that your laptop is set to High-Performance mode or if you have a PC you will set it to Ultimate performance mode.
For a Laptop:
Go into your battery settings and adjust the slider towards the better-performance side.
For a PC:
- Open up your settings
- Go to System settings
- Find Power and Sleep
- Click on Additional power settings and look for related power settings
