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: DiRT 3 shows really great performance scaling and it should since it's an AMD backed game title. Here we see the single AMD Radeon HD 7950 averaging 70.80 FPS at 1920 x 1080 and the CrossFire setup we were able to reach 124.67 FPS. This is a 76% performance increase and one heck of a performance boost that you could easily tell in parts of the game.
