AMD may have spoiled Codemasters’ surprise, as the red team has already added a Crossfire profile for DiRT 4 in its latest graphics driver. Yeap, the latest part in the DiRT series will most probably be titled “DiRT 4” and from the looks of it AMD has been trying to optimize the title for its graphics cards.
Apart from the fact that AMD has already included a DiRT 4 Crossfire profile in its AMD Catalyst 15.4, the red team has also noted that these drivers are not yet optimized for Codemasters’ racing game.
As noted, PC gamers may experience poor performance in some configurations with these drivers (perhaps an issue meant to be read by those participating in the game’s closed beta phase).
For what is worth, Codemasters teased DiRT 4 back in April, though the team has not officially announced anything yet about it.
Stay tuned for more.
Until we get more details about it, here are the release notes of AMD Catalyst 15.4 (prior to the changes made by AMD in its official website).

AMD should optimise all graphically intense games on PC. Nvidia has time and time again ruined many games performance just to make AMD look bad.
Gotta love the stupid nvidia hate in the comments on this site. You AMD fanboys make me laugh
Sorry to say that but you Nvidia fanboys are worst.
Oh yeah? AMD fanboys are more worse.
hue hue dae 3.5GB vram. That’s all you hare from AMD fans
It’s always an AMD fanboy that fires first in the comments. nVIDIA users are the ones that are replying to them…
if you look at most optimized games vs least optimized games charts. AMD titles are mostly best optimized when nvidia titles are on the other side, that is just a fact.
Very much same charts make even this web every year.
Dont worry they often ruin performance for all users, who dont have their newest architecture^^. Everyone who supports this program are users stupid enough to buy new graphic every year (well every second year).
It’s more to do with the fact NVIDIA back Ubisoft titles and AMD GPUs lack performance in tessellation compare to NVIDIA GPUs.
AMD GPUs deal with heavy Compute effects better.
My gad. I need this.
Hopefully not a step backwards like Dirt 3 was from the amazing Dirt 2.
Now, we wait…
the more games revealed pre-e3 the better
First Windows 10, now this.
This is the second time in as many weeks AMD has announced releases before the people responsible for them have a chance to. Someone needs to pull hard on AMD’s leash.
The only recent news I’ve found on DiRT 4 development was from Gamespot saying the team was shrinking.
