DiRT 2 - DX9



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

Benchmarks - DX9






Such is the speed of the GTX 470 SLI, that the graphics subsystem only becomes the limiting factor at 2,560x1,600 4x AA ultra-quality setting, where performance lines up against the twin HD 5870s.

Percentage faster/slower than Radeon HD 5870 XF
1,680x1,050 +14.2
1,920x1,200 +16.5
2,560x1,600 -0.6
