What limits performance in DiRT Rally

The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.

Graphics card (GPU)

Not a limit on most PCs

Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 74 FPS at 1080p.

Processor (CPU)

No measured limit

We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("AMD FX-8150 or Intel Core i5 4670K") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for DiRT Rally, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.

Video memory (VRAM)

1 GB (min. spec)

The minimum spec lists 1 GB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.

Settings to lower first in DiRT Rally

  1. 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
  2. 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 34 FPS at 1080p.
