[FPS Benchmarks] Dota 2 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (105W) and RTX 3060 (140W) – RTX 3070 Ti is 31% faster
Dota 2 is one of the most popular free-to-play games ever. Alongside CS:GO, Dota 2 is one of the most successful Valve games of all time. Its main advantage over the other games from the same genre is its gameplay which is very addictive. In addition, Dota 2 offers good graphics (which isn’t the most important thing for a game like this one) and a nice soundtrack.
However, Dota 2 is so popular because it’s a light game and you can play it even with some modern low-end iGPUs like the Intel UHD Graphics Xe 750 (32EU). For this comparison, we’ll inspect the performance of two powerful dGPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (105W) and RTX 3060 (140W).
