Dota 2 online getting about 10fps max

[RainColt]

So I started palyin dota 2 and never did get greater than 10 or so fps but I figured it was being bottlenecked by my athlonx2 5200+ so I upgraded to a phenomx4 9850 thinking that would be good enough for a game like Dota, but that did nothing.

 

I am running A phenomx4 9850, direct cu hd7770, 4gb ddr2 800, and storage is 240gb samsung 840, I'm thinking I should easily push 60fps max settings but I can't.

I am running linux mint 15, in cinnimon I cant even run Training with bots because the frame rate is so terrible but in mate I can run bots smoothly but online is still laggy.

 

I have tried http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=136433 so I figured it must not be a problem with linux and I have seen similar complains about it on windows 8 http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=82045. I am only running fglx video drivers now but even amd 3.1

Is that game CPU bound? If so, that is the reason.

Wouldn't have thought so, I get straight 60FPS on the highest settings with my crappy processor.

IIRC its ubuntu that's supported and not mint

 

on my other crap box running mint the most basic flash games ran horribly then installed ubuntu 12.04 everything i tried ran quite nicely except tf2 as that was still early linux beta.  was using an old ATi x19 predator 

 

TL;DR try Ubuntu 12

I may have read through the OP too quickly. Now it seems like an OS problem.

alright I jsut did a fresh reinstall of Mint 15 and worked though installing AMD driver 13.4 hoping that it will fix the frame rate issue, but AMD doesn't support mint well so it's a bit buggy and I had to make some cuts to get it working at all, so hopfully this worked out right if not I will try Ubuntu, I'm just really a Mint fan because Unity is pretty bad and Gnome 3 is useless

More than likely an OS problem. Dota 2 works fine for Windows. It's been having trouble for Mac lately. I wouldn't doubt Linux support is pretty bad right now.
