You can run DOTA2 with the -vconsole option, then push tilde (`) to open the console. If you're using Vulkan it should say something like "Vulkan Command Buffer Pool Threshold" at the top of the console.
If the -vconsole flag doesn't work, you can manually launch the vconsole while DOTA2 is running at the following location:
