Dota 2 New PC Build

For the past year I’ve been trying to run Dota 2 on a Dual Core E2180, but it constantly lags, like dipping framerates below 15 FPS (GPU doesn’t matter, I’ve tried between a 512MB 8400 GS and a GTX 660 Ti) so I’m guessing that’s below the minimum required to run Dota 2 smoothly. I will be buying a new PC and here is what I have in mind:

CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k @3.4 GHz
CPU cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
MB: ASRock H77M LGA 1155
GPU: MSI N660 Ti 2GB/OC
PSU: SeaSonic 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified
RAM: G. Skill 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
HDD: WD Black 500GB 7200RPM
Case: Rosewill Challenger ATX Mid-Tower

I’ve been building PCs at my uncle’s shop for 2 years and from my experience this should be a decent mid-budget rig. But I want to hear what PC you guys have and how Dota 2 performs. I’m asking you guys to do the following:

-Write your specs like I did
-Install FRAPS and benchmark the game for about 1 min, then post the results*
-Bug related problems with updates: Lags in The Greeviling etc.
-Any additional info: Driver version, crashes, driver incompatibility etc.

Hopefully this thread will be useful for guys like me buying a new PC and want to see what they have to deal with. I started this because even on a new 700 euro PC Dota 2 for some reason lags. If you have any questions just ask me and I will reply

*Make sure you benchmark it when you teamfight, use the “create lobby” option with bots to test this out

With my config (in sig) i get 100-120 fps with drops to 60-70 in team fights (1920×1080, all settings on high) . Never experienced huge problems with framerate in d2.

PS. yeah, pc CASE definitely will improve your fps

I’m still running a C2D e8500 with a 8800gt, and I get a constant 76 on low/med settings at 1680×1050. Even my old Msi GX630 laptop runs at 30 fps on low settings (Which I consider unplayable).

Your build should destroy Dota2. Well, the 660ti should at least. The 8400 though. I’d say 15fps is lucky.

Everything in your upgrade should net you 120+fps easily at high settings, maybe 60-70 with fraps.

Just build a PC with 8GBs of 1866mhz RAM and with a Trinity APU as your processor. its all you need to play dota 2, you can even build an A6 Trinity PC for around $350-400 that will run dota 2 perfectly.
