Dota 2 lagging in Steam when running on MacBook Pro
I installed Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro recently. But DOTA 2 is very much laggy in Ubuntu 16.04. It runs crispy in OSX. I tried updating machine and all, but no use.
The graphics card shows Intel Haswell Mobile in Ubuntu and Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB in OSX. Is it a graphics related problem? How can this be fixed.
Note: I have seen Dota 2 running fine on Ubuntu with laptops of very ordinary specs.
Some more information as per comments:
The output of
lspci | grep VGAis
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Crystal Well Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 08)
It plays 60 fps 4k videos perfectly fine.

Also, can you play a 1080p 60FPS video (such as youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ) off of YouTube fine? Make sure to select the 60fps mode in the youtube menu.

I have updated with the required information. I also tried to install AMD Graphics driver, which did not help. So uninstalled it back.

I had this problem, and I managed to solve it on Arch linux. The problem was that OpenCL drivers were not installed. I guess the basic steps are same, so here they are:
- Run
$ neofetchcommand to check what Graphics card you are using.
//Mine was Intel Crystal well. - Go to intel site and find what is the
microarchitectre of your chip. For e.g. mine was Haswell as seen on
https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/crystal_well. My processor is
also listed i7-4770HQ. - Install the relevant driver, as from this
page - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GPGPU. Mine was
intel-opencl. Restart your computer. - Run
$ clinfo. You should see a platform registered. OpenCL is enabled now.
