Zotac GTX 480 AMP! Edition VideoCard Review
Dirt 2 - DX11

Dirt 2 was released in September 2009 and provides a sequel to the original Colin McRae: Dirt racing game. Codemasters delayed the PC version of Dirt 2 so that they could enhance their Ego engine with DirectX 11 effects. Dirt 2 is also a solid benchmark for multi-core processors since DX11 is designed to take advantage of multi-threaded system architectures. |
Here, another benchmark shows the performance one would expect to see from this group of high end graphics cards. The Amp Edition GTX 480 edges out the reference model by a few frames per second and still beats the Gigabyte's overclocked HD 5870. The 5970, however, maintains its lead.
