The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld card with 4GB of VRAM, and Dota 2 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 76 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 56 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 56 | 76 |
| 1440p | 34 | 61 |
| 4K | 19 | 37 |
At 1080p expect around 76 FPS, at 1440p about 61 FPS, and at 4K roughly 37 FPS with optimized settings. Dota 2 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
