I know i know, i hate making these topics as much as people hate seeing them but im just curious before i get it as im still running a dual core.
 
Heres my specs...
 
C2Duo e8500 @ 3.1Ghz
GTX 280
4 Gigs of DDR 2
 
I obviously know it will run just wondering if i can push it at 1920x1080 at max with all the settings up besides the DX11 Crap. 
 
Also anyone try a driving force gt wheel with it yet? Curious how well that works. 

Thanks!

DX11 isn't crap. But with a 280, everything maxed you'd not get a consistent 30fps let alone 60. You'd have to turn a lot of stuff down to medium. Not everything, but most.

There's a website called canyourunit.com or something like that. Look it up.

@Vitor: Well the Benchmark included with Dirt 3 claims I get an average of about 49 with everything maxed and I am running a HD6870. With Dirt 2 I got 60fps. 
Although tbf Fraps tells me I am getting 53. But still. 
 
@dudy80: Did you play Dirt 2 with that card? If you did you will probably lose 7-10 fps with Dirt 3. If that nets you any lower than 40fps you'll have to turn stuff down. I may be underestimating how powerful a 280 is...

I'd bet you'll do fine.  I've got one of them sandybridges and the gtx 570 and it runs fine.

A 280 still has a lot of power in it. I would have thought the OP would be able to play on reasonably high settings. Dual core CPU might be a bit of a bottleneck, but not much.

Lol, i might pick it up later this week and if i do i'll let you guys know how it runs. Anyone try it with a wheel yet?

@nintendoeats: None...  No I was trying to make a joke, but also making a point that this game looks really good, but seems pretty highly optimized

Downloading it now, damn you steam and ease of purchase.... will let yea know how i make out later.

I'll probably grab this at some point. Even though I'm crap at racers.

pretty well, except of course no dx11.

Just got a chance to check it out, ran the benchmark with all settings on high at 1920x1080 with no aa and got a average of 61 with a minimum of 42 so im happy. Seems like it will work fine and it looks amazing.

that comp will def run it, dx 11 for dirt 3 is basically broken and unplayable.  The game freezes almost at every loading screen when dx 11 is on

I might jump in on tnt if they do use the pc version
