The Dirt 4 system requirements are in, but the compatible steering wheels are yet to be confirmed.
Dirt 4 launches for PC, PS4 and Xbox One on June 9, 2017. But if you’re a PC gamer, will you be able to run the latest in this venerable line of rallying simulators?

Recommended Dirt 4 system requirements
- OS: 64bit Versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
- Processor: Intel Core i5 4690 or AMD FX 8320
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 780 or AMD R9 390

So those are the Dirt 4 system requirements, and – on the graphics card front, at least – they’re about as clear as a muddy rally stage.
Judging by those minimum cards (the HD5570 and GT440) the horsepower required will be pretty low; or if you do use them, you might have to run it on garbage settings. The additional notes tagged onto the end of the system requirements – basically every graphics card released since 2010, the same on both minimum and recommended specs – doesn’t really add any specificity to the question, either.
And before anyone asks, we have no idea which steering wheel peripherals will be supported; there’s no need to leave angry comments about it.
