Cant wait, I have a copy on steam just waiting of that release day, just hoping Australia doesn't get shafted again with a few days/weeks later than everyone else.

Arciks · Nov 26, 2009, 11:07 PM

Not all... My PowerColor 5870 didn't.

But hey - at least I've got it on decent price. Right now in Poland 5850 (if you will manage to find them in stock) are almost in same price that I bought my 5870...

wolf · Nov 26, 2009, 11:14 PM

demo will be out before full release so I'll probably nab that too, but I still can't preload any files for the full version on steam

Arciks · Nov 26, 2009, 11:16 PM

i dont think i will demo it i just play it on bros PC when coupon will start to work.

EastCoasthandle · Nov 30, 2009, 02:51 AM

The demo is out!!! People are already playing this game showing either pics, videos or both.
video

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 02:58 AM

First graphic I see is

AMD "Future is Fusion"

dx10 LOOKS LIKE SHIAT, but its just a demo.. controls are ok.

game uses alot of cpu and memory but runs fairly smooth..

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 04:29 AM

here is a video i made.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ioA54o6hrQ

in the demo it says the game will be out in December

I wanna see DX11 screens for comparison

erocker · Nov 30, 2009, 04:30 AM

It will be out this Tuesday December 1st.

EastCoasthandle · Nov 30, 2009, 04:49 AM

His screen shots are using DX9.

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 04:51 AM

ahhhh well that makes a ton of sense then. game was looking stupid.

I cant wait to see erockers screenie, hes got the goods.

EastCoasthandle · Nov 30, 2009, 05:11 AM

LOL wut? The graphics look fine and are better then Dirt.

erocker · Nov 30, 2009, 05:15 AM

FRAPS isn't working for me.

I get no FPS counter and can't take screens.

1920x1200 8x AA Ultra settings (everything all the way up)

results samples="18496" min_fps="69.133675" av_fps="76.484222"

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 05:27 AM

fraps 3.0.1 ?

good thing its just a demo, the graphics look rediculously retarded dumb (in dx9 lol you see those fans watching?? lmao!!).. im curious to see the final product

wolf · Nov 30, 2009, 05:32 AM

Available: 2 December 2009
This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 14 hours

Screw the demo when I only have to wait this long to get the full version, really sucks that I still cant pre load any of the files yet

dir_d · Nov 30, 2009, 05:33 AM

Dunno what DX i was runing but i had 4xMSAA Everything on Ultra or as high as it would go and i ran the benchmark

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 05:35 AM

Is the benchmark in the demo bec. I looked around and didnt see it.

wiak · Nov 30, 2009, 05:38 AM

if you are using nvidia your onDirectX 9, if your using any ATI Radeon HD 5000 graphics card your on DirectX 11

atleast if your running Windows 7, or have updated vista to platform update

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 05:40 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF1B7...c-HM-fresh+div

dir_d · Nov 30, 2009, 05:40 AM

Benchmark is at the bottom of the options page. So i guess i was running DX11@1920x1080

That video shows nothing. I guess I'll have to do the trial of FRAPS.

shevanel · Nov 30, 2009, 05:42 AM

If the "dirt" in Dirt 2 looks like that of the pic in that video then I'm sold on the "dirt" alone.

dir_d · Nov 30, 2009, 05:58 AM

This game is very very pretty specially the replay of the race you did

animal007uk · Nov 30, 2009, 06:32 AM

woooo found a demo download and tested on an ATI HD4650, Game looks a lot better than Dirt1 and seems to run pretty much the same on the crappy GPU i have.

1280/1024 res / 4x msaa or how ever u spell it, other settings on high and a few on ultra 13.5FPS lol
