Dirt Rally

Homepage: dirtgame.com | Publisher: Codemasters | Developer: Codemasters

Looking for a racing game that's action packed, fun and exciting? Rallying is the genre that best ticks those boxes and Codemasters' Dirt Rally is a prime example. Arguably the British developer's best title in years, it uses the in-house Ego 3.0 engine to deliver high quality visuals and silky smooth gameplay.

Both card produce solid numbers at the preferred QHD resolution, but as is plain to see, the GeForce is the better performance option, even with its higher price factored in. 4K is beyond the performance remit of either the Radeon or GeForce.

The Radeon very rarely runs at its 1,310MHz boost frequency, mind. Our logs showed that it averaged 1,258MHz across our suite of games, perhaps helping explain the similarity between its scores and the reference board.
