Not the graphics card, on most PCs. At frame rates this high, your processor, the game engine or your monitor's refresh rate is more likely to set the ceiling.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit
Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics averages about 81 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Dual core from Intel or AMD at 2.8 GHz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Dota 2, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
Not stated
The publisher doesn't state a video memory requirement, so we don't estimate one.
