Method: a game's demand tier maps to a “GPU index needed for ~60 FPS at 1080p”; each GPU's relative index produces an estimate via a diminishing-returns curve, then scaled for resolution. Source: TechPowerUp GPU database (relative performance), 2026-08-29.

Purchase details:

- Playtime: 1 hour(s)
- Issue: game crashes at launch or during play

This is a genuine technical issue rather than a change of preference. I have included my system information and steps already tried. Please process a refund or offer an alternative resolution.

Thank you,
[Your name]

Evidence checklist

  • Receipt / order confirmation with date
  • Screenshot or clip of the issue (error code, crash, FPS counter)

Broken port? That strengthens a refund. When a launch failure, crash loop or unplayable performance makes DiRT Rally unusable, that technical defect is exactly what tilts a refund appeal in your favor. Check your eligibility with the site's refund eligibility checker, or run the full refund tools (chargeback calculator, ban-appeal generator, minor-refund estimator). GameFixPro keeps every tool client-side and printable.

How the DiRT Rally FPS estimate and refund verdict are computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The refund verdict compares your playtime and purchase date against the platform's published window (14 days / 2 hours on Steam and Epic; discretionary on PlayStation; 14-day capped on Xbox; no-refund policy on Nintendo eShop for downloaded software) and weighs technical defects more favourably than preference changes. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available, and confirm policy with the platform before acting.
