Dirt3 uses Ego 2.0 Game Technology Engine (more commonly referred to as Ego Engine or EGO, stylised ego), which is a video game engine developed by Codemasters. Ego is a modified version of the Neon game engine that was used in Colin McRae: Dirt and was developed by Codemasters and Sony Computer Entertainment using Sony Computer Entertainment’s PhyreEngine cross-platform graphics engine. The Ego engine was developed to render more detailed damage and physics as well as render large-scale environments.

Dirt 3 PC Game Benchmark Results
Benchmark Results: With multisampling set to 8X MSAA and the image quality settings set to ultra we were able to really punish the video cards in this benchmark, but the frames per second still managed to stay above 60 on all of the cards at 1920×1080. The MSI N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition was just 1 FPS slower than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 at both 1920×1080 and 1280×1024 screen resolutions and was 4-6 FPS faster than the overclocked ASUS ENGTX560 TI DirectCU II video card.
