Dirt: Showdown removes several of the gameplay modes featured Dirt 3, and introduces new ones. Gameplay modes can be classified as Racing, Demolition, Hoonigan or Party. We ran the built in Benchmark at Ultra settings to get a true feel of what this engine has to offer!

It is very important to note that Global Illumination and Advanced Lighting have massive performance penalties when enabled, something not seen in other titles in the Dirt series. We disabled this setting.

Benchmark Results: The PowerColor PCS HD7870 MYST was just 3.3% faster than the AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition video in Dirt Showdown at 1920x1080.
