DiRT 2 - DX9



The lovely-looking racer can use a DX11 path for (slightly) improved visuals. Still looks great via DX9, though.

Benchmarks - DX9






The Radeon HD 5850 XF is able to outmuscle the GTX 480 card at the highest resolution. DX9 is pretty easy on the GPUs, as a GeForce GTX 275 can hit a smooth 54.6fps. How about DX11? Turn right over.

Percentage faster/slower than GeForce GTX 480
1,680x1,050 -12.8
1,920x1,200 -3.7
2,560x1,600 +22.6
