As A former DoTA player.. (original WC ver.)

I'm so glad they keep the game mechanic and the system requirement low...

the one problems i had is no near server in my country, and the internet connection is quite bad...
I'm wonder if this game is playable on LAN or private/local server?
 
Some items offer in-game advantages, but Valve committed to a true free-to-play strategy (not pay-to-win), so none of the cash items are powerful enough to make or break a match.

Just being nit-picky, but Dota 2 offers only cosmetic items. So all of the items you can buy have no power at all.
 
did i see that right - hd 4000 beat 7660 igpu in low res gaming. the 7660 igpu was designed to perform for this kind of games. looks like intel is stepping up to the game, geddit?😛 i hope rabid amd fanboys (r.a.l.f.) don't rage at toms like they did at xbitlabs when they showed hd4000 beat 7660 in f1 2012 @1080p low q.... *fingers crossed*
and desktop core i3 is keeping up with fx8350 and then beats it in avg fps? so much for moar cores. the time has come again to recommend core i3 over fx!! relax c.a.l.f., i am kidding, it's not 2011 anymore. 😛
i think..... this is the second multiplayer game since the guild wars 2 where core i3 has taken a lead.

kidding aside, could you test core i5 3570k or 3470 (at stock) instead of core i5 3550, the 3570k is selling for $220 at newegg, i5 3550 is $225 and fx8350 is $200(excl. shipping). i5 3470 is selling for $200 and with a mobo like asus z77-v lx, i think it can hit 4 ghz with multicore turbo enabled.

no one is going to rage, its a low requirement game as for cpu, all they needed to test was the general core difference. if your quad core intel cpu is faster than the tested cpu, then just add a few fps to the tested results +/- irregularities with systems and testing situations. the cpus chosen were just a bunch of cpus of different core count and architectures to gather data from modernish cpus for the game. No one is really going to argue against something like a 4.5 3570k being better than like a i5-3470 at max turbo clock. Its generally accepted that clocks in the same architecture will make it run better.
 
Just cheek the steam site, you have to pay $29.99 for the early access pack. Still waiting for the final release for true "free to play".
 
That is a supporter pack that comes with a lot of cosmetic items. If you just want to play go look online for keys to activate on steam. There's thousands of people drowning in keys with no one to give them to.
 
@shahrooz Go to http://blog.dota2.com/ and click sign up on the right. They will send you a key via email, and probably 5 others. The game is really fun I have put a ton of hours into it.
 
[citation][nom]slomo4sho[/nom]I wonder when multi-monitor supported is going to be added.[/citation]
Unless field of view is preserved it won't be.
 
It's not Moba. Moba is a terrible term coined by Riot Games because they couldn't just call League of Legends a Dota-like. Multiplayer Onlina Battle Arena describes pretty much any online game out there, could just as well call Quake a Moba.
 
New heroes are part of the revenue model, in fact, since cosmetic items for the characters are available to buy. Some items offer in-game advantages, but Valve committed to a true free-to-play strategy (not pay-to-win), so none of the cash items are powerful enough to make or break a match.

This is just straight up wrong as well. There is no items that give in-game advantage, everything is purely cosmetic and nothing changes gameplay at all. Not sure where you got that from.
 
Valve still has a lot of optimization to do though, that's probably the only place they've never actually bothered to touch.
However, to say that any items in the Dota 2 provides an advantage is quite harsh and I recommend that the writer of this benchmark change that statement. On the theoretical side, one miiiiggghht be able to get an advantage by getting a Genuine Vintage item, and try to snipe his opponent when that poor fella tries to check out the item :3
 
I'd just like to echo some of the other people who commented and say that Dota2's cash items are purely cosmetic with no in-game advantages at all. This is an important value of Dota 2 and Valve that sets it apart from competitor games and companies. Please change it in your article. Thank you.

Yeah that was surprising. Either AMD has to sacrifice too much to hit the power target or it's CPU bottlenecked.

I wonder what this means for the PS4...
