Dota 2 on Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB is well above Dota 2's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 300+, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect 300+ fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: ultra preset

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB back.
Processor needed for 300+ fps: Core i5-12600K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
