When I launched Dota 2 it was super slow, and I could not even play the game. I figured out my computer could not detect the graphic card, firstly it was detected as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, and after I installed the driver my computer was able to detect it. After I installed the driver, my screen was all messed up when in game, however I could see the game was running smoothly (check the picture I uploaded). Can someone please tell me how to fix this? I also uploaded the picture of all the info about my graphic card.
Thank you in advance!

Hey krq123, welcome to DOTAFire!

I'm sad to hear that you're having issues with the game, but it's more common than you think.

Make sure to check the following:
  • have the latest drivers installed for the graphics card
  • your installed DirectX version should be the same with the one selected in DotA 2 video options
  • DotA 2 is installed correctly (Steam -> Right click DotA 2 -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity)
If none of these seem to fix your problem, it's probably a problem with your graphics card. Do other games work properly?

Keep us updated, hope your game will work!

You bought a whole new PC? Why didn't you fix your old PC? Can I have your old PC :D ?
