Dirt Rally is developed by British video game developer Codemasters using the in house Ego engine. Development began with a small team of individuals following the release of their 2012 video game Dirt: Showdown. Codemasters have emphasised a desire to create a simulation with Dirt Rally. They started by prototyping a handling model and creating tracks based on map data. The game employs a different physics model from previous titles, rebuilt from the ground up.
We test at 1440 with 8x MSAA and the ultra image quality setting enabled.
At 1440p the RX 480 is a frame per second ahead of the GTX970 and when overclocked it closes the gap to the Asus GTX980 Strix to 3 frames per second.
