[DiRT 2] PC Demo Gameplay DX9 Maxed Out (Footage)

Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (known as DiRT 2 outside of Europe) is the newest racing game by famous racing game develop team "Codemasters". This game is already released on console, and it will release on PC soon. (December 2009)

Here is the demo version, although Codemasters haven't official release this yet, thanks the almighty internet. It include 2 different race route and benchmark test.

My PC spec cannot run in DX11 mode.
Here is my spec:
CPU: Intel Core i7-920
RAM: DDR3-1333 2GB*3
VGA: ATi HD4870 1GB

Codemasters should release this before the game official release, cuz this is just awesome. They usually release the demo after the game official release.

And I noticed there's some frame rates issue when you start the demo, actually, the demo is fine, but the problem is the menu inside the trailer. I got very low frame rates in the trailer, but it works fine with outside of trailer and normal racing event, those part just perfect.
You know what? I'll definitely buy this game.

I have the same problem like you, the fps in the menu is like 3fps but at a race its 30-40fps, that sucks but the game is awesome

If you r using ATi graphics cards, just updated your driver to 9.11.

And everything will work fine.

i just installed/played it near max out settings at decent enough fps, ill upload a video within 1 hour, so check my nick!

[mikboy]

I'll check it out. :)

@djdynamite123 there is no window on trucks on this game, only on rally-x,and rally

[ExtraTerrestrials]

i think it's not maxed out because there's no dirt on the windshield when the water splashes on it.

when it's on ultra there's dirt when it's on high or less then there's none.

Hey men, you will have the same issue with the full game when you buy't. I got an HD4890 and have the same problem inside the trailer ¬¬. Check on Ati's page for an update on Catalyst Ati Driver. It work fine for me.

Cheers.

no no no, Colin McRae Rally 1 was REAL rally, every other game in the CM series from CM2-Dirt2 was not REAL rally ;)

[SlyNine]

I never bought or played Dirt 1, Honestly I like sim racing games more. So is their no Euro style rally at all ? I don't mind mixing it up but I hate rally games where its all curcit tracks.

[mrcraka]

mmm ditt 1 is better then dirt 2 , bcuz dirt 1 was REAL RALLY, not american rally going off stupid 4 foot jumps lol. In dirt 1 there was only European style rally, none of the x- games bs. The only good thing about dirt 2 is updated cars + dx 11, but less then 100k people have a DX 11 capable card rofl

[SlyNine]

Ya, Its a shame they don't really developed for PC, Hell even a 8800 is capable of more then most games out there I upgraded from 2 8000GT's in SLI, BTW don't go SLI with those. Even with higher performance then a 280GTX the experience is not as good.

The frame rates just does not account for the difference.

I still want to play Dirt 2 though, as it came with my card, I was kind disappointed yesterday to turn on my comp, and see it not DLed.

[mrcraka]

lol on a 8800 ultra on dx 9 everything @ MAX i get 55 fps staight. dirt 2 is a bad looking game on the textures but i gotta see it on dx 11 :)

[SlyNine]

I gotchya. I miss my CRT days, 100FPS ( probably wasn't stable though). I got a 5870 so most everything is 60fps rock solid.

[mrcraka]

30 fps is the rate you should have it at when you RECORD gameplay. When you play a game you shuld have 60 fps or 74 stable :)
