FPS fell below 60 in Dota 2, assistance needed!
FPS fell below 60 in Dota 2, assistance needed!
First of all, I apologize for any lack of info or using any wrong terms to explain my issues as I really have very poor knowledge on PC stuffs so do forgive me for that.
As the title mentioned,
I'm having this issue of FPS drops in Dota 2 whereby things started off quite well on a around 100 - 110fps in laning phase
As the game goes longer and when a huge team fight happens where a lot of spells and things are going on, I experienced a major fps drop and sometimes it gets as low as 60 or 70fps.
When that happens, my screen literally froze for like a sec or 2, which means I can feel the fps drops and it's affecting my gaming experience.
Problem didn't happened in the past until recently and its happening more and more frequent
Initially, it only happens occasionally so I didn't really bother about it but now it happens almost every single day.
My Dota 2 video settings are as shown in the screenshot, but I highly doubt it's because of that as I was on a higher settings (Default) in the past and I don't experience this

My PC specs are:
Intel Core i5 8500
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
1x 8GB RAM DDR4
60Hz Monitor
(Please let me know if other specs are needed to better address my issues)
- Please also see the screenshot whereby I watched a live game and captured the moments where the FPS dropped to 60+, I've used MSI Afterburner to display the info that seems to be the factors affecting this problem.

What I've noticed is that my GPU usage is kind of low but my CPU usage is higher than the GPU, also the RAM usage is quite high I suppose?
In this case could it be a bottleneck in one of these components? And what should I do to resolve it?
I understand that your frame rate drops are the biggest concern right now, but please refrain from sending your questions everywhere in this forum. If anyone has a solution, they'll reach out to you. You might get a response today or tomorrow, but hold on.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I was attempting to locate a button to delete this post and intended to place it under the CPU section, but I couldn't find a delete thread option. It's urgent since a tournament is approaching in a few days, and I'm hoping to fix this beforehand. Thank you for your help in moving it to the CPU section as it appears to be related to a CPU issue.
Alright, in this situation I would keep things here and wait for a response. Thank you very much.
From what I can observe in the pictures, your RAM is being consumed rapidly, and once it runs low, the game begins creating temporary files on your storage drive, which operates much more slowly than RAM. Keep in mind that the operating system already allocates some space for itself, so if performance was normal before, you should identify the source of the additional memory usage.
Yes, I see that my RAM seems nearly exhausted during games, which might explain the FPS drops. It's possible the issue is related to the RAM. Also, figuring out how much extra RAM you're using is something I'm not sure about.
