DiRT3 System Requirments

[brat81]

Codemasters have announced the minium system requirements of their upcoming DiRT 3 rally title that is due to hit the shelves on May 24.
Given that DiRT 3 is shaping up to be one of the best-looking PC racing titles right now, a fairly powerful system will be required to enjoy the title in full detail as you can see below.

Minimum System Requirements
OS: WinXP, Vista or Win7
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 2,8 GHz, Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 15 GByte
Gfx Card: AMD Radeon HD 2000 256 MB, Geforce 8000 Series 256 MB

Recommended System Requirements
DirectX 11
OS: Vista or Win7
CPU: AMD Phenom II or Intel Core i7
RAM: 3 GB
Gfx Card: AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series

And apparently there's going to be no demo

Doubt it really needs a HD6xxx card to max it out.
Graphically, it's barely better than DiRT2.

Fairly high recommended specs I'll be getting it on PS3 anyways.

Looking foward to this very much. I currently play dirt 2 in DX 11 @ 6040x1080 with everything on ultra and 4xMSAA for a rock solid 60fps. Im hoping this will be the same for dirt 3 but im having my doubts.

Doubt it really needs a HD6xxx card to max it out.

Oh yeah sure you will be able to run it on max settings on your 5850
(at 40fps @ 1280X1024). I think they mean to run the game at a decent resolution with an acceptable frame rate you will need a 6xxx card.

Graphically, it's barely better than DiRT2.

You know this because of all the screen shots and videos you have seen, or have you actually played the finished product your self?

HD video gives off a pretty good representation of how a game looks.

I also bet the game will run fine at 1920x1080 with everything maxed out on a HD5850.

Remember: It has to run on a console. DiRT3 (on PC) will be a port that has added DX11 support, most likely just for light tesselation here and there, just like DiRT2.

Hey, I can just run DiRT3 going by the minimum specs. But I'm a long way off the recommended. There will be no point in me getting this game as much as I want it because my computer won't run it (at a good enough quality worth playing, not just being attacked by pixels.)
