Dota 2 benchmark on GTX 1080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dota 2 FPS with a GTX 1080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 240FPS min 121Excellent | 170FPS min 97Excellent | 72FPS min 63Good |
| High | 312FPS min 157Excellent | 221FPS min 126Excellent | 94FPS min 82Good |
| Medium | 408FPS min 206Excellent | 289FPS min 164Excellent | 122FPS min 106Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 252Excellent | 375FPS min 213Excellent | 158FPS min 137Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 63% | CPU 52% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080 Ti. There is 11% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Dota 2 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1080 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 240 | 300 | 348 |
| 1440p | 170 | 230 | 281 |
| 4K | 72 | 104 | 133 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 Ti has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the GTX 1080 Ti has headroom to spare in Dota 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the GTX 1080 Ti Enough for Dota 2?
The GTX 1080 Ti delivers 240 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dota 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 170 FPS and at 4K 72 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
