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 1080p with 8x MSAA and the ultra image quality setting enabled.
The Sapphire RX 470 Nitro+ OC delivers perfectly playable frame rates with the image quality maximised at 1080p, averaging over 60 frames per second. This is around 3 frames per second behind the reference AMD RX 480 card.
