DiRT 2 - DX11



Same game. This time with the DX11 path. Only seven setups can run the test.

Benchmarks - DX11






A couple of interesting things to note here. The two-card solution is comfortably faster than the HD 5970, and it's difficult to tell why from an architectural standpoint. Secondly, the gap to the GTX 480 rises as the sheer shading and texturing power of the Radeons comes through.

Percentage faster/slower than GeForce GTX 480
1,680x1,050 +15.7
1,920x1,200 +19.9
2,560x1,600 +33.9
