At 4K is where Dota 2 pushes today's graphics cards and can make use of a high-end GPU.

The RX 480 and R9 Fury were the AMD GPUs delivering above a 60 FPS average at 4K on AMDGPU-PRO 16.40. Meanwhile, the GTX 1060 and better (or GTX 780 Ti or GTX 970 and better) were all delivering very much playable experiences for this Valve Linux game at 3840 x 2160.

At 4K the advantage of Vulkan dried up much more than at the lower resolutions, but still there were a few frames per second to gain from making use of Vulkan. With the Vulkan renderer at 4K is also where the Radeon R9 Fury was being competitive to NVIDIA with it running faster than the GTX 980 while under OpenGL it was slower than a GTX 970.
