Low Fps on dota2

[Khantic]

I'm using xfx r9 radeon 280x double d. with intel xeon 1230v3. With all on high and only getting 60fps when I should be getting 100+. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dota-2-performance-benchmark,3481.html
How do I fix this?

Every card is built differntly your probably just unlucky or the 100fps you see is on a differnt version of 280x. Try overclocking it will get you atleast 20 fps more.

On my laptop I'm getting 70fps and it's only geforce 610m

What resolution is your monitor? That is most likely the problem. Can expect high FPS with a high resolution monitor.

Nvm fixed it. Had to turn off V-sync tho. getting avg 122 now

Keep V-sync on, the whole point is so that your computer doesn't run at unnecessarily high fps. You don't need higher than 60fps on any game. It should feel super smooth at that speed already. V-sync also stops screen tearing, so that your game doesn't have terrible horizonal lines going across the screen because the refresh rate on your monitor isn't high enough to keep up with the frame being rendered every second.

Actually with or without V-sync there's like a small 10cm line on my monitor. Idk if its my monitor though. And when I start up my computer everytime I always see it.

Try using a different cable to connect your monitor to your computer, if it's still there, connect your monitor to your laptop, and if it's still there, I'm just gonna assume your monitor has an issue and would recommend looking into it.

If your game plays fine without V-Sync on then go without. I don't use V-Sync I hate bottle-capping my FPS Plus performance dips scale backwards so if you're running 120FPS without V-Sync and something happens and you drop to 60 FPS that would be 60FPS with V-Sync on and drop to 30FPS. V-Sync is only necessary if your getting screen tearing that's all it's there for.

Make Dota 2 profile in Crimson drivers and launch the game from there. It gives like 5fps.
