Last week Feral Interactive announced DiRT Rally is coming to Linux while now they've announced the system requirements.

DiRT Rally isn't shipping until 2 March, but today a Feral representative confirmed the requirements.

When it comes to the graphics, NVIDIA's 370.28 and newer is obviously supported. Feral is also providing at-launch support for Radeon graphics this time, via Mesa 13.0.2 or newer. There's no word on AMDGPU-PRO support. Great to see though them testing and backing RadeonSI support on Mesa 13.0.2+ for this forthcoming Linux racing game, as usually the AMD Linux support doesn't come until after the fact.
