The system upgrade for the PS4 Pro has a lot of added horsepower, and as such, the frame rate on the PS4 constantly remains smooth and consistently solid. When compared to Dirt 4’s performance on a PC, its performance on a PS4 Pro hold up surprisingly well.

Running on maxed out settings on a PC, Dirt 4 has incredibly detailed textures and impressive draw distances, and even shadows and reflections are sharper. On these settings, we were able to avoid any bottlenecks and properly use MSAA without any hiccups, and as such, we were able to run the game smoothly at a locked 60 frames per second and at a solid 1080p resolution. And then there are some cool extras such as Advanced Blending and Skidmarks. The graphical settings include include various anti-aliasing settings up to 8X MSAA, Anisotropic Filtering, Night Lighting, various effects for Particles, Crowd, Cloth, Mirrors, Ground Cover, Vehicle Details, Weather, Shadow and Mirror Reflections. Our rig was able to game at maxed out settings, as we used a GTX 1080Ti, with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a Ryprocessor. In retrospect, how good does the PS4 Pro version look, and where does it stand in comparison to Dirt 4 running on a PC?įor starters, let’s talk about the PC specifications we are running Dirt 4 on. One of Dirt Rally’s biggest strengths was the fact that it ran at a solid 60 frames per second, so retaining that in Dirt 4 was the bare minimum for the development team, but there was also the added challenging of optimizing the game to its maximum for the PS4 Pro. Coming off the back of Dirt Rally, Dirt 4 runs on the same engine as its predecessor, which is the EGO engine, but this time around Codemasters have made significant upgrades. The cars look incredibly detailed and appropriately worn out, tracks and environments all look great, and the weather effects – from the fog to the splashes of water on your windshield – are also commendable.Ĭodemasters have made a concentrated effort to make that possible. The game excels at the visual part especially. Being a rally simulator, authenticity is key for Dirt 4, and that authenticity comes from all areas- from visual effects and sound design to the car models and track design. If you’ve played Dirt 4, or read our review of it, you know that the game is a looker.
