| DiRT 3 | |
| Genre: | Racing |
| Engine: | EGO 2.0 DirectX 9.0c, DirectX 11 is supported |
| Recommended system requirements: | Windows Vista / Windows 7 Quad-Core processor from Intel or AMD 8 GB RAM AMD HD 6000-series or equivalent from NVIDIA |
| Comment: | The latest title from Codemasters Colin McRae-series. |
| The performance test: | Integrated performance test. |
In DiRT 3, the upper segment of processor – including the Core i7-3770K are really close to eachother seen to performance. It is not before we take a look at their Core i5 series, older processors – or for that matter AMD, that we can see any difference worth mentioning. And at higher resolution the difference is even less.
Great review guys, i would really love to see you do much more of them =]
A really great review, good job. Waiting to get my hands on it… but don’t know when it will arrive in Brazil
Glad you liked it đ
We hope the new translators will have time for more of these.
You used DDR3-1333 for AMD APU when it’s known that those processors need faster RAM to reach top performance, unlike Intel’s which don’t scale up accordingly. As it is, this is a very Intel-biased review.

I can agree however if we’re talking GPU-performance, where may I add, even Ivy Bridge HD 4000 benefits from higher RAM-clocks as well so it’s pretty much apples-to-apples in that regard. We will be revising our testing methodology during the summer, so we’ll be taking all of these things into close consideration… LĂ€s hela »
It seem Intel will beat AMD more with this line of new generation processor. It is faster and consume less power than sandy bridge and trinity. Core per core / clock per clock basis.
I really like to know though the performance and efficiency compare to AMD trinity.
Ă realmente incrĂvel todo esse progresso/evolução da INTEL.

What happens if I put a 125w TDP CPU on a 95w motherboard? If I have a quad-core CPU and disable 2 cores will my CPU fit in the 95w TDP?
