Question Getting same low fps in all settings while playing Dota

[Koushikreus11]

Bought a new pc yesterday. Getting same fps in all settings and resolution only in Dota(probably other cpu intensive games as well). Getting more fps in high demanding games than dota. Getting really good fps in games like Stray, Cyberpunk etc
Config:
Gpu: 6700xt
Cpu: I5 12400f
Ram: 16gb

What is your motherboard model and BIOS version?

Where did you buy the PC? What brand is it? What model?

What is your motherboard model and BIOS version?

Where did you buy the PC? What brand is it? What model?

Motherboard is MAG B660 Mortar Wifi DDR 4
Bios is 7D42v192

I bought it from a computer shop. They assembled it.

So, I'd go to the product support page for your motherboard, click on support and download and install the latest chipset, WiFi, LAN, Bluetooth, audio and Intel serial I/O drivers if you haven't already. Most of those were newly released on the 14th of October.

Then restart the system and see if there is any change. Seems you already have the latest BIOS version installed.

What is the exact model of your power supply?

What speed is your memory kit supposed to be or what is the model number and have you checked to see whether the memory is actually running at the XMP profile speed or if they left it at the default settings? You can check this in CPU-Z on the Memory and SPD tabs or in HWinfo. Or also in the BIOS.

I have everything updated. Also, I am not facing any problems with gpu demanding games. Only dota(cpu intensive) is giving me same low fps in all settings and resolutions.

Thermaltake TR2 S 650W is the power supply model.
This is the ram: SPECTRIX D60G DDR4 RGB Memory Module (16gbx1)

Xmp is on from bios. You can check the attached image.

Well, for one thing you want to add another memory module of the same model, or get a new kit with two identical matched DIMMs in it, because with a single module you are not operating in dual channel mode and are losing a good deal of memory performance.

PSU model is terrible. I'd recommend you check with the place you bought it from to see if they might allow you to upgrade to something better and give them that one back OR simply buy a better power supply. Historically the Thermaltake TR2 units are pretty terrible. In fact, a TR2 power supply is what first brought me to Tom's Hardware originally.

Thermaltake TR2 units are junk?

Greetings to you all. I've got a system I'm working on that I think may have PSU related issues but I'm uncertain about the model's quality. The components are as follows. AMD FX-4300 FOUR-CORE 3.8GHZ 8MB 95W AM3+CPU GB GA-78LMT-USB3 760G mATX MB (Board I originally used) ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0...

Are you using a brand new Windows installation with this system or a Windows installation that was from a system you already had?

 

[Koushikreus11]

Yeh had some budget problems. So had to cut cost in the power supply and take a single channel ram instead of dual channel. And yes, I am using a brand new windows installation with this system. But I am wondering just having problems with Dota 2 and no other game? Isn't that a bit weird?

 

[Darkbreeze]

You cut cost in the single most important component in the build. There is no component more important than the power supply. It's the ONE component you NEVER want to cut cost on. Cut cost on anything else, but not the power supply.

Why does a better power supply mean a better computing experience?

So how does a better PSU equate to a better computing experience? Consider this: If your power supply isn't doing a good job of regulating voltage and filtering ripple, what is?The computer power supply essentially converts AC to DC. Older or more basic computer power supplies convert AC to multi...

It's not particularly weird, per se, since Dota is at least somewhat CPU intensive, and since memory performance greatly affects CPU performance this could visibly translate into a bigger issue for this game than for many others that are perhaps a lot more GPU intensive. Then again, it may simply be some buggy BS from Dota 2. Have you checked to see if there are any patches available for Dota 2 which you haven't already installed?

 

[Koushikreus11]

Dota is an esports. It patches automatically. I can't launch the game if it is not updated like cs:go and valorant.

I thought so, but don't play any of the eSports games, so wasn't sure.
