Codemasters reveals system specs for Dirt 2 DirectX11 PC version

Codemasters surprised many people when they decided to delay the release of the PC version of Dirt 2. As it turns out the rally racing game will now become the first PC title to support DirectX11 graphics out of the box when it ships to stores on December 1 (Battleforge is the first DirectX11 game via a patch last month).

Codemasters has now posted the system requirements for the game on the Dirt 2 message boards. While the rest of us mortals can still run the game in non-DirectX11 mode you will need a beefy PC rig to play the game with the updated graphics. Check out the requirements after the jump.

Windows XP can run DX11? Wow, you should have told me that before I upgraded it Windows 7 Codemasters!Posted at 9:28PM on Nov 12th 2009 by Redmist

After spending 3 hours getting 2 xboxes to directly link up so I can play dirt 2 head to head I found out there is no way to have computer cars race with us? ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME? Codemasters how can you leave out something so simple? Do you really think 2 people are going to race head to head alone? How hard is it to really add some computer opponents? What a joke. Serious brain fade on you guys. Thanks for wasting my time.Posted at 11:28AM on Dec 24th 2009 by Serious
