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: In Dirt 3 the performance of the two GTX 670's were split by the two different 7970's. The EVGA GTX 670 SC was able to top the performance of the Radeon HD 7970's at 1280x1024 and 1920x1024, at 2560x1600 the MSI R7970 Lightning averaged 62.7 frames per second while the EVGA GTX 670 SC averaged 60.0 fps and the Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X averaged 60.3 frames per second. If we look at the performance compared to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, the EVGA GeForce GTX 670 SC was only 1.9% down at 1280x1024, 3.4% behind at 1920x1080, and 9.2% behind at 2560x1600.
