I'm curious, is your screen full? or is there any black area when you play dota? (on the top and bottom, as in a film?), even in fullscreen mode?
Sorry for my delayed response xD
Plays in exclusive fullscreen, the only time I get black bars is when the match is loading. Other than that it is full screen the entire game
gtx970 is arguably better in some cases than 1030

(And -nomicsettings if you don't plan on using your mic)
Second, go to "Video Options in Game"
Enjoy Dota at high quality - for a competitive game, stable, running decent by a 10 year old game with a 2012 computer. I play with Nvidia Low Latency Enabled + Boost. Make sure you have V-Sync off aswell.
Share more tips if you know any. Try and learn and test things yourself. But if you wanna follow my list, do it fully, then after some games, adapt to your liking. I run in a 2012 computer at max fps and never got a drop of FPS, 1 in 1000 crashes, at max, per games, and I am blessed to have a 4-7 Ping to my region server and 0 packet loss.
It also don't hurt to install maitenance APPS, such as CCleaner, which is a free and renowed app that helps clean up windows. Talking about windows, windows update is a thing, same as drivers - CCleaner got you there aswell.
Or other apps. Just, also try unninstalling Dota during this clean, so you install later after.
Extra: Learn about "Power Management" on Windows Configuration, and if you are an Nvidia or Radeon user, Steamdeck, Intel or AMD, make sure to google those related to Dota 2: there are always more knowledge out there aswell.
In your specific case, I would turn off Nvidia Reflex + Boost, and set Texture Quality to much lower.
