[FPS Benchmarks] Dota 2 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (150W) and RTX 3070 Ti (150W) – RTX 3080 is 19% faster
Undoubtedly, Dota 2 is one of the most popular Valve games alongside CS:GO. This game often tops the “Game and Player Statistics” chart and there are some reasons for this. First of all, the game offers addictive gameplay, decent visuals, and last but not least – Dota 2 is free-to-play.
When it comes to graphics, the game looks good and it’s light at the same time. On the other hand, people with high refresh rate displays will probably want to see FPS values around or above 144 FPS so for this scenario, a powerful machine is a must. For this article, we have prepared two fast RTX GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (150W) and RTX 3070 Ti (150W).
