Specs: Intel i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, InnoDRIX GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5 128-bit overclock, 500GB drive spinning at 7.2K RPM, Corsair Power Supply VS 450, MSI MS-7788 motherboard, Samsung LED monitor (19.5", 1366x768), native resolution 2560x1600 but adjusted to 1366x768 for compatibility, attached screenshot included. Benchmark: Unigine Heaven v4.0, default GPU settings, not overclocked. FPS: 67.0 | Min: 19.8 | Max: 129.5. System: Windows NT 6.2 (build 9200), 64-bit CPU, Intel Core i3-3220. Score: 1688. Note: Monitor resolution limited by display capacity; text remains sharp. Settings: Direct3D11, AA windowed preset, custom quality, high tessellation. Overclocking impact unclear in-game. No tree movements, VSync off, shadow quality medium or off. Cleaned system, temps normal. Request: Consistent FPS across all matches, especially during team fights with skill casts. Thanks!

We refer to this as a CPU bottleneck. In DOTA 2, you typically see around 30 to 60 frames per second.

It runs on the Source Engine, but it rarely hits a steady frame rate. Lower the settings for smoother performance—your I3 shouldn’t be overworking itself.

Your frame rate drops during conflicts, which suggests a potential CPU limitation.

It's probable that boosting the resolution mainly affects GPU usage with minimal impact.

The experience is frustrating with these low settings on the GPU. Upgrading the CPU might help, but it's not something you can easily do right now.

Adapting to the i7 3770K/3770 can be beneficial.

It makes sense to consider the situation given the potential for a bottleneck. It’s reasonable to explore options, especially since your GPU is relatively new. Who would be interested in contributing?

Sure, I understand. It’s good to find a cost-effective approach right now. Overclocking might not be worth the effort given your current situation.
