Dirt Showdown - Split-Screen ? DX 11?

[DJ Cryotek]

It says split screen in the description, but those are often generic and copied from the console version's blurbs. Has anyone heard for sure on the Codemasters forums or something? It doesn't say how many players, either... I'm guessing just 2 like Dirt 3 :/

Also wondering what the Direct-X 11 features will be like. The recommended specs for using DX11 are extremely high in the processor department - very strange as most games make very little use of the CPU lately, much less more than two cores. Maybe DX11 will be more than an afterthought for once?

Recommended for DX11:
OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7 64 bit
Processor: AMD Bulldozer or Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD HD6000 Series or Nvidia GTX500 Series
Hard Drive:15 GB HD space

The store page just saying "May 2012" and I don't see a more specific date anywhere online right now.

This sounds promising:

"PARTY MODES AND SPLIT-SCREEN DiRT Showdown is purpose built for social gaming. Dedicated party games are available online and in split-screen perfect for sofa gaming with a low barrier to entry for friends where classics like ‘capture the flag’ and checkpoint challenges get the Showdown treatment."
