Best Dota 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU), Dota 2 runs at roughly 104 FPS at 1440p with our optimized settings — up from about 104FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti is a strong 1440p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dota 2 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, it runs great at 1440p — about 104 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 173 FPS at 1080p and 104 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 79 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Upscaling — DLSSOff
Dota's render-scale slider. Lowering it is the biggest GPU saving on weaker cards.
Shadow QualityMediumbaseline
The main GPU cost. Medium is a clean balance for high refresh.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Spell and ability effects. Lowering smooths chaotic team fights.
World LightingOnbaseline
Extra dynamic lighting on the map. Off is a small, safe saving.
Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; Off for a minor gain.
Anti-Aliasing (FXAA)Onbaseline
Edge smoothing. Nearly free; leave On for a cleaner image.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness - trivial VRAM use in Dota. Keep it High.
