Dota 2 benchmark on RTX 5050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dota 2 FPS with a RTX 5050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 292FPS min 142Excellent | 170FPS min 97Excellent | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| High | 380FPS min 185Excellent | 221FPS min 126Excellent | 74FPS min 64Good |
| Medium | 496FPS min 242Excellent | 289FPS min 164Excellent | 97FPS min 84Good |
| Low | 500FPS min 244Excellent | 375FPS min 213Excellent | 126FPS min 110Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 66% | 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 RTX 5050. There is 9% 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 5050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 292 | 365 | 423 | 621 |
| 1440p | 170 | 230 | 281 | 391 |
| 4K | 57 | 83 | 105 | 141 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5050 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 5050 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 5050 Enough for Dota 2?
The RTX 5050 delivers 292 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 57 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
