My Laptop Matches Dota 2 System Requirements But It Keeps Lagging
Hi guys!
I've been playing Dota 2 on my old laptop. My laptop matches the dota 2 system requirements on game-debate and it suggested to play on medium to high settings.

This is my laptop specs:
Intel Pentium P6200 2.13 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 520M
4GB RAM

It used to run on windows 7 but i upgraded it to windows 10.
My internet speed is 30mbps and i play on SEA servers
Sometimes in early game, my fps is around 40-35. Later it dropped to 15-9.
After this 7.00 patch update, it's getting worse. My FPS stays around 11-9 from the start until the end of the match.

So, I'll be glad if someone could help me fix my lag problem.
Thank you :)

Same as my laptop, tho i'm running it on really low settings with render at 100% and everything ticked to low and off except for animate portrait... = ) ... Goto nvidia site and update your driver to the latest version, might help you, also go to startup items, ms config, and check the startup programs and others to see if nvidia related programs,services are ticked off, if it is, thats probably why... = )

Running on 30-40 fps 25 lowest if a tinker spams his 3rd skill

i say it is your laptop got problem.

never even mention whether it is duo core or quad core at all.

i'm using a laptop as well and my laptop specs are Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz, 8 GB of RAM, nvidia geforce 920M and when i play dota 2, my FPS stays at 60 from start of match till end of match. my laptop comes with windows 10 directly as well.

Try to disable Xbox application in Windows that may cap the FPS in all games to 60.
Here's how:

This process should work for future builds as well as this is a standard process to remove metro apps since Windows 8.

Disclaimer: This should be a relatively simple removal of two Metro apps but I have not fully tested this and it could cause issues within Windows.

1)Start an Administrative Powershell window
2)Run the command 'Get-AppxPackage | Select Name,PackageFullname' (This will list installed 3)Metro apps displaying the Name and PackageFullname needed to uninstall)
4)Locate the two Xbox packages (Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames and Microsoft.XboxApp)
5)Copy the 'PackageFullname' from one of these
6)Type 'Remove-AppXPackage <PackageFullname>' (replace <PackageFullname> with the text you copied from the list) and hit enter
7)Repeat step 4 & 5 for the other Xbox metro app
8)Reboot and the Xbox integration will be gone from Full screen games and the Start menu

Hope I helped.

You're computer is from 2010. You must upgrade your hardware if you want to continue playing current games.

"But I used to play it fine" Don't expect them to keep their game optimized for a computer that isn't even worth $50 anymore. Your computer is older than dota 2!

Upgrade your ♥♥♥♥!
