Best Dota 2 settings for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 (laptop, 8GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 4070 (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Dota 2 runs at roughly 197 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 197FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dota 2 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 197 FPSwith 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 197 FPS at 1080p and 118 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 67 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.
