NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti – Titanium is Back

It’s not that often that faithful PC gamers get a proper racing game for their platform of choice, but Dirt 2 is one of those. While it is a “console port”, there’s virtually nothing in the game that will make that point stand out. The game as a whole takes good advantage of our PC’s hardware, and it’s as challenging as it is good-looking.

Manual Run-through: The race we chose to use in Dirt 2 is the first one available in the game, as it’s easily accessible and features a lot of GPU-pounding effects that the game has become known for, such as realistic dust and water effects, a large on-looking crowd of people and fine details on and off the track. Each run-through lasts the entire two laps, which comes out to about 2.5 minutes.

Except at 2560×1600, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 560 Ti excels in this title compared to the Radeon HD 6950 1GB – which I admit is a bit surprising since Dirt 2 has always been a little weighted towards AMD’s offerings.
