Dirt Rally

Dirt Rally (DirectX 11)


DiRT Rally is the most authentic, challenging and thrilling rally game ever made, road-tested over 80 million miles by the DiRT community. It captures the essence of what makes rally unique like no other game: that white knuckle feeling of racing on the edge; trying to remain in control of your emotions as you hurtle along dangerous, undulating roads at breakneck speed, aiming to squeeze everything out of your car whilst knowing that one crash could irreparably harm your stage time.

It’s the ultimate test of a driver’s skill, and the ultimate in high risk, high reward gameplay.

The R9 390 still takes a commanding lead, running 16% faster than the new Polaris 10 GPU, but obviously at lower power.

Nothing really changes in our 2506×1440 results other than the fact that the GTX 960 finds itself overmatched compared to the other products here.
