To be fair, The Dota 2 International 2015, or TI5, is actually powered by us, the fans.<\/p>\n
The pro players do a good portion of the work, granted, and Valve are hardly slackers themselves, but there would be very little if we weren\u2019t so excited by the game itself.<\/p>\n
That said, we won\u2019t be too harsh on NVIDIA for advertising<\/a> that TI5 is powered by GeForce GTX and their G-Sync<\/a> display technology.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a wise call given that The International\u2019s prize pool is worth more than $17 million, so it\u2019s a fairly big deal.<\/p>\n We\u2019re not sure about the whole, \u201cOnly NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs and G-SYNC monitors provides eSports players with a gaming platform that delivers the sharper graphics, low latency and high precision that they demand.\u201d<\/p>\n AMD\u2019s latest Radeon cards, in conjunction with FreeSync<\/a>, their G-Sync equivalent, would likely do just as good a job. Their R9 Fury X cards pack quite a punch<\/a> after all.<\/p>\n Either way, it\u2019s certainly interesting to note that Valve chose NVIDIA over AMD. Actually, that\u2019s not quite true. It\u2019s more likely that NVIDIA gave Valve more money to use their tech.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a cool interest piece and feather in NVIDIA\u2019s GeForce cap all the same.<\/p>\n PC Gaming may be EA\u2019s most profitable single platform<\/a><\/p>\n NVIDIA recall 8-inch Shield Tablet: it\u2019s a fire hazard<\/a><\/p>\n NVIDIA Pascal cards sport 17 billion transistors and 32GB of HBM2 VRAM<\/a><\/p>\n
