Graphics Requirements

To run DiRT Rally it is recommended that you have a minimum of an AMD HD5450 or Nvidia GT430 or Intel HD4000 with 1GB of VRAM (DirectX 11 graphics card required). The recommended graphic card for the best visual experience is an AMD R9 290 or Nvidia GTX780 (or better).

DirectX Version 11 should also be available on your system.

Running DiRT Rally on a graphics card that is above the recommended specifications will allow you to achieve the highest levels of visual detail and the best frame rates. Good frame rates can be beneficial when playing competitive games. A higher frame rate will reduce input lag allowing you to react more quickly to events on screen.

To easily see how your graphics card compares to these specifications use our interactive GPU checker.

CPU Requirements

DiRT Rally requires that you have a minimum of an AMD FX Series or Intel Core i3 Series processor. For the best game experience an AMD FX-8150 or Intel Core i5 4670K (or better) processor is recommended.

Some games require a powerful CPU in order to manage the game engine. The game engine deals with things like processing network communications for multi-player games and the AI of your enemies in strategy games. Some games are considered CPU intensive or CPU dependent. Most modern games offload work directly to the GPU and don't require a powerful CPU for demanding visuals.
