    There is no way for running it smoothly. Even if I turn down game specs the game still goes crappy.

    Any idea?

    Confirmed it running on HD6770M? I thought it just Dirt 3 with less to no physics. :D

    Which driver u're using?

    I've played Dirt 3 a lot with my 6770m, it goes smoothly all settings maxed out. Although Showdown, even it looks great it is not working properly with settings maxed out. Think about the new ilumination system...

    Really don't know why. Nevertheless the game is much more boring than the previous one.

    If anything, the drivers that AMD puts out nowadays aren't that great. It took a long time just to get BF3 running smoothly.

    Now Im using Leshcatt's latest drivers, the same with the latest ATI official ones, so this time is not drivers fault... xD

    Let me know if someone test the game with our videocard!
