This game looks incredible on my 360 (connected to a Samsung Plasma).

I can only imagine what it looks like on a nice PC.

toaster5279d ago

That's waht it'll look like.

I don't have a DX11 card though. :(

champ215279d ago

its gonna be an awesome looking game. cant wait. have it on preorder since it popped up on steam.

dreamoner5279d ago

i played the demo with my mounth fully open! it's the best game ever for me and probably the best in the genre! the game is more than awesome! awe-quite-a-bit.. awe-whole-darn-lot! just incredible.. handling super... graphics are fantastic.. menu is drastic.. perfecto!!!

i played at high settings(1680*1050,4x multisampling) with my msi gt725 laptop(p8600-hd4850mobility) at high performance.. but i dont know if it is dx10 or dx11..

LightofDarkness5279d ago

That would be DX10, more than likely (could be DX9, I don't know how the game handles DX settings). It's definitely not DX11, as the GTX275 is only capable of DX10, no Nvidia chip is capable of DX11 until Fermi hits the market in early 2010.

Anyone have an ATI HD5xxx series card? Care to share your impressions? Does DX11 add much to the experience?

Maxilive5279d ago

It will be running in DX9 as Dirt 2 only has DX9 or DX11 no SX 10 settings.

I have a 5870 but I'm at work atm and can't get the download links to work, also setup my eyefinity setup last week so that should be interesting.

Bodster5279d ago

Ill be getting an ATi Radeon 5770 very soon, cant wait for this game! :D

jjesso19935279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

i wonder how it performs on a 5750 i thinking of getting one for my pc iam building cant decided what get 4870 or 5750

heres video http://www.youtube.com/watc... of what it looks like on 5750 a lower end dx11 cant imagine this on 5970

champ215279d ago

whats your budget for the gpu?

i would advice you can cut corners on any other part on the pc.. but the gpu. everything heavily depends on this part, nothing will make up for a bad gpu.

dirthurts5279d ago

5xxx series would be better for future games.
Otherwise...I would go 4890 if you can.

thabigboss5279d ago

i will post some screens of dx11 when i finish downloading it

10 Great Racing Games That You Can Play Right Now

ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "

Bad list, but to each their own.

No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?

And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?

C-H-E-F3115d ago (Edited 3115d ago )

what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era

JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh

edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl

traumadisaster3115d ago

Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.

nowitzki20043115d ago

Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.

JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.

traumadisaster3115d ago

I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.

Nitromonteiro3115d ago

@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.

@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
