General Discussionoptimal fps for playing dota 2

i got constant 40, it runs smooth for me x))))))
sometimes even 20-30 and i doesnt even notice it :XX)X)))))

i play at 17fps

wow nice trolls I would read again 1/10

why would you want to run over 60 if it makes no difference
turn vsync on and enjoy your smooth 60 fps

mine is at 120 but i have shitty ping so i guess it compensates for everything :D:D:DD

at my old pc i had 120, at the new pc i got due to my old one being destroyed i have 40 and its soooo laggy

50-60 here

default fps_max 128

60 because most monitors only handle up to 60 (properly - meaning they can go over 60, but there's really no point in doing so because it is over your monitor's capacity). If you have a monitor that is configured for 120, then go ahead

Try and cap your fps using the command above my post

Actually the human eye can only see 20 frames per second. Anything above that is a placebo effect.

if I turn on my vsync I'll have like 45-50 fps in a 5v5 teamfight and it's not what I want, I mean I see a slightly better advantage since I turn vsync off and I have like 65-70 in a 5v5 teamfight
I don't know...

I sit at a smooth 120 fps with all graphics on highest.

@Icon
I don't rly care about your fps, I was just asking how much fps is needed to play a decent game of dota 2

Well how about in order too play a decent game of dota, don't make smurf accounts.

@Icon
I don't know what are you talking about kid but I let you speak, now get away from my thread if you don't say something useful and helpful, ty

cap your fps @ 60 if you have a pentium 4, which you do, so cap your fps @ 60.

max_fps 60

It's better to max out everything and get 50 than play on lowest with 80-90.
Everything above 40 is smooth, 55-60 optimal.

i got permament 120

@Kidades
I played with 45-50 before and now I have 65-70 and I can fucking tell ya that it's a big difference
40 is not smooth at all

lol the shitty excuse "human eyes cant see more than 20 fps"
plz go

Btw OP m8 better fps doesnt improve matchmaking

imo about 60
mine varies from 40 to 60 (notebook)
but recently, I've been playing on different computer with constant 120 and I didn't notice any big difference

Having a higher FPS than the monitor's refresh rate (59/60 Hertz for most LCDs) will result in screen flickering when you scroll around the map. That's what V-Sync ist for - it caps your frames so that the graphical processing and monitor refreshing are in line with each other, resulting in a clear vision.
This doesn't help with frames under your Monitor's refresh rate, of course... if you feel they are too low, reduce some graphical settings.
30 frames per second are regarded as smooth by most people, but there definitely is an enhancement with 60 frames, even for the human eye ;-)

The human eye is a biological masterpiece of engineering and can see up to as much as 150 frames or higher but that number is unknown and it can't even be gauged as a number because of the way the eye and electronics work.

Most "MOBA" games can be a pleasant experience played at 30-40FPS with optimal being at around 50-60. What you have to consider is dip in frames during team fight and you have to be sure that you will only go to about 40 on a dip.

EX. I have a 680 that used to drop to about 30 FPS due to bad game mechanics and drivers but has since been fixed so I play at a comfortable 70-90 FPS which makes the game more than playable, even in dips I will never notice.

120 with v sync
