This seems odd to me. I've got a 5-6 year old pretty mid-range laptop with a terrible graphics card yet I'm able to run DOTA2 just fine without any framerate issues on linux.
- Volundr 6y agoYeah the key here is you have a graphics card, even an old low-end one. With these "dual-GPU" laptops, the default is whatever integrated nonsense is, and you have to specifically activate the fancy NVidia card for specific programs (the Windows drivers do this automatically). I can't easily figure out from the ASUS page what the other card is. If it's the APU it might theoretically be able to do OK on DOTA2, with the right drivers, but without setup I'd give decent odds the author is running the fallback VESA driver, meaning it's basically doing the whole thing in software.
