According to the FPSHQ estimate, in Dota 2 at 1080p High the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers ≈700 FPS (≈700 FPS at 1440p), while NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is enough for 60+ FPS (≈370 FPS). The table below shows the expected average FPS on 26 popular graphics cards at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement); data as of Nov 14, 2026.

Dota 2: released in 2013; engine — Source 2; minimum GPU in the requirements — NVIDIA GeForce 8600/9600GT, ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600; FPSHQ Demand Score — 18/100. The 60 FPS threshold at 1080p High is reached from GeForce RTX 3060; the most powerful card in the table is Radeon Pro W7700 (390–645 FPS).

When real FPS differs
CPU. In Dota 2 a weak CPU limits FPS regardless of the graphics card — especially at 1080p.
Graphics settings. The table is for High settings. Dropping to Medium raises FPS by 20–40%.
Upscaling. DLSS/FSR/XeSS raise FPS by 30–70% with minimal quality loss.
Game version. Patches and engine updates change performance.

How many FPS in Dota 2?
According to the FPSHQ estimate, in Dota 2 at 1080p High the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers ≈700 FPS (≈700 FPS at 1440p), while NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is enough for 60+ FPS (≈370 FPS). The table below shows the expected average FPS on 26 popular graphics cards at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. Source of the numbers: FPSHQ model estimate (not a measurement); data as of Nov 14, 2026. (model accuracy)
The RTX 3060 runs Dota 2 at about 370 FPS at 1080p High and 260 FPS at 1440p. Number source: an aggregated review table (benchmark/YouTube) rescaled by game and graphics card factors — not an independent measurement.
Which graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Dota 2?
For 60+ FPS at 1080p High, GeForce RTX 3060 is enough (≈370 FPS) — the most affordable card in the table with that result.
Which graphics card do I need for 144 FPS in Dota 2?
For 144+ FPS at 1080p High you need at least GeForce RTX 3060 (≈370 FPS); on weaker cards, Medium settings and DLSS/FSR help.
Why is my FPS lower than in the table?
Real FPS depends on the CPU (especially in Dota 2), the game and driver versions, background apps and graphics settings. The table shows the graphics card without a CPU limit (as on test benches); the FPS calculator accounts for your CPU.
