In contention for the most popular game on Steam and the biggest competition in eSports: DOTA 2 is powered by the Source 2 engine. The game is fairly light on low to medium settings but maxed out, with heavy action on screen especially during clashes, can really stress most systems. This is a game where frame times matter as responsiveness is very important in high-stakes competition. We’re looking at consistently low frametimes in this game for the best experience.
You can watch the replay of the actual game used in the benchmark in your Dota2 client. Search for this game: 7583012200. Nothing special in this particular match but the clash is a good enough test. You can download it for your own reference. (save it to your DOTA2 replays folder)
