What Do We Think?

In terms of the minimum specifications, presuming your gaming PC is younger than 5-6 years old, you shouldn’t have too many problems in getting Dirt 5 to run in some relatively decent form. Albeit, the Nvidia 970/AMD 480 is a little surprising as, despite their age, one would’ve thought that they were still largely outside the ‘minimum’ remits of PC requirements.

In terms of recommended, while not massively beefy, I think most would agree that an AMD Ryzen 2600X and Nvidia 1070 Ti would (even today) represent a pretty decent gaming PC combination. The short version is, however, that while not obscenely high, either the ‘average’ gaming PC goalposts have moved, or this game does require some solid tech to get the best out of it! Then again, as a racing game, developers often do like to pour the sugar on top of the eye-candy!
