Hi Escritor

I have tried DOTA 2 right now for you.
I upload few setting and screens with FPS for you.

Everything is on native 1920x1080
Machine -

HIGH SETTINGS

MEDIUM SETTINGS

LOW SETTINGS

hey man thanks a lot for this

also additional question sir is 18FPS in HIGH SETTINGS worth it? are you able to play it smoothly?

or the MEDIUM Settings would be your best bet? thanks in advance

also additional question please refer below:

I got a good offer from a close friend of mine towards iMac MC309

Apple iMac MC309LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop

He is offering me a brand new unit of the said item for only $965.

I am considering it because upon checking in both authorized apple resellers and black market, so far it is the cheapest offer I got.

I am primarily going to use it on the following:

1. Office work (Microsoft Office & iwork)
2. uTorrent
3. Web Browsing
4. DOTA 2 & Diablo 3
5. Adobe Photoshop (basic brightness and contrast)
6. iMovie (basic 2-3 minutes presentation)

My question would be, given the price, and the specifications of the unit, and lastly with the new iMac (Oct 2013). Is it still worth it to purchase this model at its price?

I am not really a techy guy , and I don't need a super fast computer. My usage is as follows:

a. 2-3 hours/daily: FB, Twitter, surfing
b. 3-4 hours/daily: DOTA 2
c. 5-8 hours/daily: downloading (utorrent) while sleeping at night.

I hope someone out there can help me out so that I can decide as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance.

that 18FPS in high setting was not playable at all...it has stutters and I dont even enter 5v5 fights

You can achieve pleasurable gaming on MID or LOW settings. But if you have close friend who is selling you a computer, is there any chance to try it on that computer before purchase ?

For other work, computer will be really sufficient.

New iMac:
You can benefit here in DOTA, new iMac has better graphics card and processor, on the other hand I dont like 2,5inch HDD in new 21inch iMac at all.


If I am going to have little free time in work I upload you a video of gameplay in DOTA. (I have computer with same configuration at work )
Would you like to bench Diablo 3 too?

 

[Escritor]
