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.
Today we test the hardware at 1920×1080 with the Ultra profile and 8 x MSAA.
This engine has always favoured AMD drivers/hardware, but all cards are perfectly playable at 1080p, even with 8x MSAA enabled in the control panel. The HD7850 averages 50 frames per second, jumping to 91 frames per second when two cards are configured in Crossfire. The Asus GTX760 Mini averages 61 frames per second.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point
It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
The 760 mini is lovely – really nice idea, if a little expensive.
The cards are good, but the cooler on the 760 is too small to really be that good for such a high end board – I would rather get a case that can take a full sized GPU, even if it was small, like a prodigy.
Too bad my three month old Asus 7850 DCUII V2 can’t even reach any core clock over 960mhz without crashing while in a game. Touched nothing but the core clock and 5% power addition.
1000mhz ran fine on tests. rock solid on 3Dmark11 and MSI kompressor though. Could be a driver issue, could be a bad card. Clean install though.
Still, goes to show that overclocking is not absolutely dependable.
