DiRT 3

Dirt 3 (stylized DiRT 3) is a rallying video game and the third in the Dirt series of the Colin McRae Rally series, developed and published by Codemasters. However, the "Colin McRae" tag has been completely removed from this iteration. The game was released in Europe and North America on the 24 May 2011.

Dirt 3 Game Settings

Dirt3 uses Ego 2.0 Game Technology Engine (more commonly referred to as Ego Engine or EGO, stylised ego), which is a video game engine developed by Codemasters. Ego is a modified version of the Neon game engine that was used in Colin McRae: Dirt and was developed by Codemasters and Sony Computer Entertainment using Sony Computer Entertainment's PhyreEngine cross-platform graphics engine. The Ego engine was developed to render more detailed damage and physics as well as render large-scale environments.

Benchmark Results: With multisampling set to 8X MSAA and the image quality settings set to ultra we were able to really punish the video cards in this benchmark, but the frames per second still managed to stay above 60 on all of the cards at 1920x1080. The MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III 1G/OC was 1-2 FPS faster than the ASUS ENGTX560 TI DirectCU II video card.
