Dirt 5 (stylised as DIRT5) is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters. It is the fourteenth game in the Colin McRae Rally series and the eighth game to carry the Dirt title. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 6 November 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Onrush. We test using the Ultra High preset, DX12 API.

Dirt 5 is next and at 1080p, we're looking at a 22% uplift for the RTX 3060 when compared to its predecessor, the RTX 2060. It's still 5% faster than the RX 5700 in this AMD-sponsored title, but it's also 6% slower than the 5700 XT.

RTX 3060 does scale better against those AMD GPUs at 1440p though. At that higher resolution it is 10% faster than the RX 5700 and just 4% behind the RX 5700 XT. Versus the RTX 2060, we're still looking at a 22% difference in the 3060's favour.
