Colin McRae Dirt performance

Any idea how this will play at 1600x1200 on the rig in sig, GTR2 plays with full ingame and full driver (16AA/AF) settings super smooth.
Cheers

Should run fine with 16xAA/AF, probs about 25-40 fps, maybe 35fps average.

So dropping to 8AA should let the game run nicely?

It's a lot more demanding than GTR2. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to need a particularly high frame rate to feel smooth. Anything over about 25-30 is fine.

Yep, the game uses full scene motion blur, hence it looks smooth at fairly low frame rates.

Isn't that a sure way of killing framerate? I've disabled motion blur. I hate the effect, in every driving game I've disabled it.

I've always liked motion blur, it makes games look more, well, realistic to me.

Im finding this game seems to have a habit of crashing and being picked up by the VS2005 debugger. Anyone finding this? V1.2

i do not see the point why you need so much aa af i play on 4 aa and 8 af gives me lots fps and good game play :eek:

It depends on the res, at my res (1400x1050), 4xAA in Dirt looks total crap, with my 8800GTS I used 16xAA, this game runs miles better on Nv hardware.
