Sparkle GeForce GTX 650 Ti Dragon Series 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 configured the game at the ULTRA preset with a 1080p resolution and 8x MSAA.

I was surprised that the modest GTX 650 Ti Dragon Series was able to maintain mostly smooth frame rates at these very high settings, dropping once below the sweet spot of 25 frames per second. Reducing the anti aliasing to 2x or 4x would smooth the frame rate out a little better.
