Airborne runs a lot better than DiRT for me, constant 60FPS and that's with VSync on. Everything maxed, 1280x1024 4xAA. Runs much better than DiRT actually.

I didn't even know you could Crossfire X1300's. . . Might as well get one X1900 and get better performance, lol.

Vedz DiRT is not as graphically intensive as everyone seems to think. You have a fucking c2d at 3.76 for god sakes. Take that down to 2ghz and you will have some playability issues.

I would like to think it is quite graphic intensive.

As there is no other game that has heated my card up to 89c. Not the 3dmark03 torture test, 05, 06. Not oblivion. I believe it is graphically intensive as well as being more cpu intensive. Intensive on the whole comp maybe? But my C2D's never went above 45 and I don't have the greatest cooling system running at 3.76.

C2D's run cooler than you think man. With the settings your playing at you are video limited which is why it heats your video card up so much, not to mention the nonstop AA and HDR.

Everyone is just bitching and complaining because they have a cpu or ram bottleneck.

i can play it @1024X768 just fine it just is not a good game the gfx look good but gameplay is subpar it must have the same phsyx engine as NFS high stakes which is what circa '99? cause i swear they play exactly the same; DiRT just looks prettier


MOH aibourne is a much better game IMO it play 1024X768 at 2x the framerate and settings are high, med, med, simple on my set up screen

I agree with you on that note, once its modded it plays much better. The grip is just way to high on everything, and the brakes too powerful. I've been on the DiRT forums a few times and their modded files make everything much more fun.

That was the first thing I noticed about DiRT. Not even rally cars can go from 100 to 20 in two seconds on gravel, just not gonna happen. I agree on the cars having too much grip to. At 60 no matter the turn I should be sliding on gravel, even on most of the paved roads in the game except maybe for the long turns. RalliSport Challenge 2 did a better job of making the cars feel more real.

Everyone gets low fps with it cos it was done badly..

Just ask Sonasmo. (or Sonosmo.. can't remember)

7950GT SLi and an E6600.. still lags sometimes on 1024x768.

Just a badly coded game.

would think you would get better than that seeing how you kill mark card in benchmarks..all of them though i must admit it still looks ok @1024X768 HDR off no AA/AF

Yeah, I dunno though, it may just be more cpu/ram dependent than grfx card feature dependent who knows :confused:
