The price difference quite small, better still if can find 960 at good price..

But really, 750ti can play at high settings, just need off some of the options if not good luck during those huge aoe spell clashes.

you mean normal dota 2 or dota 2 custom games?

No idea too. Convergent already mentioned before Palit stocks will only be back in December, but that still doesn't mean there will be any flash sale for it.

ok i just go see see my dota 2 just now... if check all the graphic setting option, in normal matches, those huge clashes might cause your fps to drop to around 30-40+ fps, still playable but i rather pay a bit more get better gfx card.

Cool. That means performance of gtx750ti in 10v10 dota imba will not be that good already.

sorry hijack this thread.
i'm running this setup now.
amd x4 640cpu
biostar a880g+
kingston ddr3 2gb x 2
powercolor 1gb 5770 ddr5

i manage to run dota2 on it before the reborn update.
but now in reborn, halfway during a game, my whole system will restart.
i tried doing a memtest but my com will restart during the memtest.

does this means my ram is spoiled? is the setup enough to run dota2 reborn?
if not, can i just change the graphic card or need change the cpu and motherboard also.

sorry i also hijack this, while we are on the topic of dota 2 pc specs.

sexperts here always said dota 2 is relatively less demanding of your GPU. but i dont seem to be able to run my dota 2 at max settings with 144fps (I'm using a 144Hz monitor), with my r9 290x.

i get that a single r9 290x is not exactly top of the line GPU power, and asking for absolute maximum dota 2 graphics settings on 1440p 144Hz is cranking the demands pretty high. was just wondering if its normal to be running at ~100fps normally, drops to ~60 during intense moments.

are you able to reach higher fps if you lower the graphics settings? if so, then yea, your gfx card performance not enough lor.

Restart. I need to let the com 'rest a while' (abt 1min) before restarting. If not, the com will load till the windows screen and restart. I did not manage to monitor the temperature.

I thought most of the game now they auto adjust to 60 fps?
