Dirt 2 Demo Showing off Windows 7 Direct X 11 Features

[davidan]

Check this out -- it's pretty impressive. Gives you some ideas of the things capable in Direct X 11 and Windows 7. Hopefully rFactor 2 and/or iRacing and other sims will start using some of this in the not too distant future. They both still use Direct X 9 today -- DOH!

It's not a sim by any means but seems cool in a few other ways.

I picked up the PC version of the game yesterday, it was about half the price of the Xbox or PS3 versions. Took about 40 minute to install but once ready to go it was pretty fun. It is an arcade style game so don't expect rFactor or GTREvo sim type of racing. The graphics are stunning for sure, I have a ATI 4890 video card and was impressed. If your looking for something to waste your days with it will do the job nicely.
