Dota 2 benchmark on RTX 2080 Super: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dota 2 FPS with a RTX 2080 Super and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 344FPS min 162Excellent | 257FPS min 131Excellent | 115FPS min 79Good |
| High | 447FPS min 210Excellent | 334FPS min 170Excellent | 149FPS min 102Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 437FPS min 223Excellent | 195FPS min 133Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 500FPS min 255Excellent | 252FPS min 172Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 69% | CPU 62% | CPU 32% |
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 RTX 2080 Super. There is 7% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 2080 Super with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 344 | 430 | 499 |
| 1440p | 257 | 347 | 424 |
| 4K | 115 | 167 | 213 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 Super does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 RTX 2080 Super 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 RTX 2080 Super Enough for Dota 2?
The RTX 2080 Super delivers 344 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dota 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 257 FPS and at 4K 115 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Dota 2 with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RTX 2080 Super or RTX 3060 Ti for Dota 2?
In Dota 2 at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 344 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
