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 and 2560×1600 with the Ultra profile and 8 x MSAA.
The GTX780 and Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition are closely matched in this engine, exchanging places between 1920×1080 and 2560×1600. The R9 280X is slightly slower than the R7970 6GB Toxic Edition, as we would expect given the lower clock speeds.
