Dota 2 was released in 2013. We list 30 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 15 graphics cards. Steam lists NVIDIA GeForce 8600/9600GT, ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600 as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 20 of 30 times.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Dota 2, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
