Dirt Rally is developed by British video game developer Codemasters using the in house Ego engine. Development began with a small team of individuals following the release of their 2012 video game Dirt: Showdown. Codemasters have emphasised a desire to create a simulation with Dirt Rally. They started by prototyping a handling model and creating tracks based on map data. The game employs a different physics model from previous titles, rebuilt from the ground up.
We test at Ultra HD 4k with 8x MSAA and the ultra image quality setting enabled.
At Ultra HD 4k resolutions the engine proves more of a challenge for the hardware, with older cards such as the Asus Strix 980 dropping below 30 frames per second. The Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming RGB holds an average frame rate close to 60, dropping to 48 when the environment is denser.
I’d like to hear Kitguru’s take on:

Makes me wonder how widespread this is, and if they’ve experienced or suspected this from cards they’ve reviewed.
Such small gains might seem meaningless, but when cards are priced the same, from the same model, have similar cooling/oc headroom capabilities and power draw, that slight performance edge can sway sales and reviews.
GIGA sent higher clock sample than retail?
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I haven’t reviewed the MSI cards yet, so I can’t comment on the clock speeds. The asus GTX 1080 strix card we had seemed to be all set at the retail speeds you buy in a store. I have an ASUS 1070 GTX STRIX with me now, but i haven’t started testing it yet.
“No coil whine’ –> you never know if another card will have it or not.
My FE GTX 1080 did a lot better at 4k then this card, odd!

Actually its normally related to the capacitors, so its generally a design related issue for each specific board.
So where can I buy one? There’s no stock anywhere in the UK! :<
There was also a review of the Asus GTX 1080 Strix OC on this site. Conclusion was ‘no coil whine’. In the meanwhile several reviews wrote that it had a little coil whine. And one guy an a forum had one with really load coil whine. So there is that.
with the stupid high prices they are charging for the cards id say waith a few weeks and see what amd come up with cause 400-450 pounds uk for the 1070, the successor to the 300 pond when released 970 is way to much money for a card that isn’t their 1080 flagship.
yours is a good chip maybe, better boosting??
I had two of these… incredible amounts of coil whine. I’ve never heard anything like it! Tried two PC’s across a few different power supplies. Plat Plus. Avoid like the plague.
