DiRT Showdown may be lacking the realism of previous games in the DiRT series, but it offers stunning graphics, intense action and good ol' demolition derby events.

One of the pitfalls of PC gaming is that certain titles are known to prefer certain hardware. When played using the built-in Ultra preset, DiRT Showdown loves Radeon graphics cards, and the GeForce lot really begin to struggle. Nonetheless, Gigabyte's GTX 660 OC comes out ahead of NVIDIA's previous-generation champ; the GTX 580.
