Can you run DiRT 2?
Free up space before installing DiRT 2: it needs roughly 100 GB of HDD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, AMD HD7750 or NVIDIA GTX650Ti and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. DiRT 2 needs about 100 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.36x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.34x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against DiRT 2's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
