Dirt 2 Performance on Current Hottest Graphics Cards
To be powered by the third generation of the EGO engine, Dirt 2 has taken advantage of DirectX 11 features and ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology for more immersive gaming experience, and is expected to become available for PC platform pretty soon.
Some of the DirectX 11-based improvements gamers can enjoy, as compared to the DirectX 9-based version, include:
* Improved water effects including more realistic ripples, accurate reflections, and life-like splashes and wakes, more detailed, animated crowd models to cheer on your race, and smoother, more realistically flowing flags and cloth as a result of hardware tessellation where more polygons are generating the scene without degrading game performance.
* More accurate simulation of light and shadows as a result of Compute Shader 5.0 found in DirectX 11, allowing for complex computations without major hits on frame rates.
* Truer depiction of high dynamic range lighting at twice the color depth of the DirectX 9 version, with special effects rendered at the full screen resolution, up to four times the resolution of the DirectX 9 version.
The Dirt 2 PC Demo has been officially released by the developer Codemasters, and we took some time to find out how the game handles the hottest graphics cards at present.

By the way, the difference b/w dx9 & dx11 is so minimal here, im better off with dx9.

This league has a strong chance of succeeding . The first reason is the demand in non-NFL cities. The first 8 cities should be L.A. Las Vegas, Memphis, San Antonio, Birmingham, Orlando, Chicago, New York and Fort Worth. The AFL should pursue the NFL free agents, Arena Football players and college players. Also, as bad as it may sound, the AFL must pursue suspended NFL players. Is there a possiblity of adding Canadian cities in future? Yes, the AFL should play from October to March. It’s going to take years to establish a fan base but in the end it will happen soon than later. I remember attending USFL games in Chicago and Memphis and they were great. They also had great names like the Chicago Blitz and the Memphis Showboats. If television was like it is now back then, the USFL might have merged with the NFL or still be in existence.
