Najnowsza część z serii Colin McRae. Podrasowany silnik z Grida jest elastyczny, dzięki czemu możemy pograć na starszych i wolniejszych układach graficznych. Jakość grafiki stoi na bardzo dobrym poziomie. Ponadto jest możliwość uruchomienia gry w DirectX 9.0c oraz DirectX 11.

O ile na tanich kartach graficznych (HD 5750, GTS 250) gra CMR: Dirt 2 w wysokich detalach działa raczej przeciętnie, o tyle układy pokroju GeForce GTX 260 radzą sobie świetnie, zapewniając płynną grę w wysokich ustawieniach detali. Zaskakuje niska wydajność akceleratorów wykorzystujących układ HD 5830 – karty są o wiele wolniejsze od GTX 260, nie mówiąc o podkręconym HD 4890, jaki znalazł się w naszym porównaniu.
Zadowalające wyniki mają karty Zotac GTX 470 i ASUS GTX 470 – z powodzeniem konkurują z najszybszymi, także podkręconymi, Radeonami HD 5870!
