MSI Z77A-GD80 & R7770 Power Edition Transthermal OC Review

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

We first benchmarked at 1080p with 2MSAA and the Ultra preset.

Performance was a little juddery, with the frame rate often dropping below the 25 sweet spot. We felt the need to lower the preset to ‘high', rather than ‘ultra' which will demand a higher powered graphics card.

We switched to High, while increasing the Anti Aliasing to 4x.

This preset is much better suited to a lower end graphics card, and the frame rates were perfectly smooth throughout. The enhanced anti aliasing setting helped improve the appearance of the in game cars too.
