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
