Hi and Welcome to the forums...
 
It would be helpful if you listed your system specs to include any overclocking you're running.
 
Motherboard

Ram - Mfg'r & speed
GPU - 960, OC'd or stock

Is this the only game you experience this issue on?
 
This kind of info will help other members offer suggestions...

Hey thanks for the posts guys

Is the card overclocked (factory or by you)?
 
Some games don't do well unless you are at what the program considers 'stock' clocks.

No overclocking, would you reccomend trying underclocking?

Thanks for your time
 
 

 
have you tried file cache verification whitin steam ?
I do play Dota 2 on daily basis but i haven't played beta version of it for some time, since i'm new in nvidia camp , i saw some optimizations in nvidia expirience for Dota 2 , you can try even that to check if the crashes will still occur.
 
try to verify the cache and see if steam will redownload anything, maybe some of your files are corrupt...

Thanks for your reply! yes i have done several verification's, as for the "Dota 2 beta" directory that's actually the game's main directory if you check yours it will say the same 

Try to close EVGA PrecisionX 16 . 
 
And ,after 01-Sep. DOTA2 update was too many bug ..waiting for fixxxx

Your specs all look good and since you only have this issue on the one game, it's most likely just a buggy game at the moment.

Time to test some more games.

Is that really necessary? can't i just run furmark or cinebench?

Sajin
Yes, as you can run benchmarks all day which tells you nothing about how an actual game will perform when played.

From what i can tell every other game i've played works flawlessly

where is your DOTA 2 installed ?
i had some weird problems when i installed it on my SSD , raging fps drops and stutters but only in dota , other games works perfectly...
