Codemasters has released the recommended system specs for Dirt 5, the upcoming installment in the off-road racing game. Set to release October 16, 2020, Dirt 5 will run best if you have a six-core CPU and a fairly high-end GPU, yet its minimum specs are far easier on the eyes for most.
Below are the full specifications, as listed on the game's Steam page (opens in new tab).
Dirt 5 minimum system requirements:
- CPU: Intel Core i3 2130 / AMD FX 4300 or better
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 / AMD RX 480
Dirt 5 recommended system requirements:
- CPU: Intel Core i5 9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Memory: 16GB RAM
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti / AMD RX 5700 XT
Dirt 5 actually demands more GPU power than Codemaster's most recent racing title, F1 2020.
It will also require 60GB of storage capacity, which even by today's hyped-up standards (looking at you, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (opens in new tab)) remains a fair chunk of space for a single game.
In return for your relatively modern system and storage space, you'll be able to slide your way around a filthy track in some souped up go-karts. Sound like a fair deal? I think so.
Dirt 5 is available to pre-purchase now on Steam, and you've still got some time before now and launch to get your PC's specs up to speed. And how about taking a look at the best racing wheel for PC (opens in new tab) in the meantime? I promise there's nothing like wrestling a skid back from the edge with force feedback fully engaged to get the blood pumping.
