Although Dota 2 and the Source 2 engine have a reputation for being CPU-bound, that did not seem to be the case for our tower with the 4790K. The i7 4790K desktop was tested with multiple cards, including both Nvidia ( GTX 1080, 980 Ti, 1050 Ti, and 1050) and AMD ( Radeon R9 Fury, RX 480, R9 290X, and R9 280X).

A variety of resolutions and detail presets were used, ranging from 720p and minimum detail to 2160p on ultra. To account for the full measure of scalability possible with the Source 2 engine, the range of systems include a desktop with an i7 4790K and Geforce GTX 1080 on the high end while the low end extends all the way down to a Cherry Trail Atom Z8300 with integrated graphics. The benchmarks collected are from a variety of CPU and GPU combinations which cover high, middle, and low-end systems. Because of the improved multithreading support, Dota 2 should make full use of all available CPU cores and threads, meaning we should expect to see the CPU have a greater impact on performance than more GPU-intensive games. The changes are meant to make the already extremely scalable engine even more so, improving performance both on low-end notebooks with the settings down and high-end enthusiast desktop systems with all the bells and whistles. The Source 2 engine is not only only prettier than the original Source, adding better textures, particle effects, and a unified lighting system, but it is better optimized as well: Valve added support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs, and improved multithreading. The once sparse and simple battlefield of the Dire and Radiant has become a fully flushed-out world complete with weather effects, day and night cycles, and lushly detailed terrain and wildlife unique to each side of the battlefield.ĭota 2 officially moved to the Source 2 engine in the latter half of 2015 after an extensive period of beta testing. The low-poly models, simple textures, and basic effects of Defense of the Ancients have understandably transformed over the years, most markedly in the move to a Valve-backed Source engine game-and then again as it was ported to Valve's Source 2 engine a few years later.

Dota 2 has come a long way since its initial 2003 release as a mod for Blizzard's Warcraft III.
