As any racing fan will know, there is a moment in all of the best games, when you just start to get the hang of drifting; not too much, not too little, that perfect balance point that gets you cleanly around a curve.
GRID 2 is the sort of game that should deliver these perfect moments, but you have to be able to play it first! Lets see if you can with our GRID 2 System Requirements...
GRID 2 Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+
RAM: 2GB System Memory
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT or ATI Radeon HD 2600
DX: DirectX 11
HDD: 15 GB Free Hard Drive Space
GRID 2 Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 7 64bit
CPU: Intel Core i7-920 2.67GHz or AMD Athlon FX-4350
RAM: 4GB System Memory
GPU RAM: 1GB Graphics Memory
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti or Radeon HD 6770
DX: DirectX 11
An interesting point here is that the min specs show an 8600 GT which actually doesn't support DX11, which is also listed amongst the min requirements for GRID 2. As expected there is also a fair chunk of required hard disk space required for GRID2, 15GB. Nowadays, where a lot of people download their games these huge game sizes really do matter.
GRID 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original GRID racing game, and will feature the usual assortment of modes, such as GT races and Demolition Derby's, all on the latest tracks and the hottest cars from around the world. The game is releasing on the 31st everywhere but the US, along with 3 DLC's, giving you more cars and tracks.
What do you guys think of the game, will it be a worthy successor? How gorgeous are you expecting this game to be? Tell us your thoughts!

played at max settings and still getting near 200 fps :)
PC Specs
Ya with a beast like that i am sure you would ;)
PC Specs
awesome , but your Rig isn't valid yet !?
PC Specs
its little unrealistic to get 200FPS with max settings even with that rig,
Just my opinion
PC Specs
yeah , agree with you .
PC Specs
want me to record it and prove it? and my rig is in middle of being verified as i have not long built it.......
PC Specs
and tbh your rig is a piece of ****! so how would you know what its like to have 200fps anyway?
PC Specs
no need to record anything , If you want you just can valid your rig. :)
PC Specs
rig is going through verification as we speak cause i only built it bout a week ago.....
PC Specs
hey no need to be a douchebag this site isn't a place to rip at each others throat and make fun of others
PC Specs
when some douch tries to tell me its "unrealistic" to get 200fps on max settings on game with my rig when he dont even have a rig not even half the power, ill stand up and fight my battle......
PC Specs
Well you should get a new monitor. That resolution is totally bottlenecking that massive power of the 690.
PC Specs
his rig is not validated so maybe u know what i mean don't take it personally jay just saying :P
PC Specs
well if you read in my other post i did say that my rig is being verified cause ive not long built the rig, and @Grimreeper786 my monitor is perfectly fine 3D monitor just need to change resolution but others tend to hurt my eyes cause i have difficulty seeing small things and it strains my eyes so i keep it on the resolution it is and im fine wit it
PC Specs
Oh now its 1080p last time I saw it was 1440x900
PC Specs
can i play it on 9200m gs
PC Specs
Probably at low settings :)
PC Specs
Yeah , low settings .
PC Specs
thnx
PC Specs

PC Specs
Codemasters are like gods when it comes to optimization. :)
PC Specs
-.- this game is a ****
PC Specs
whats wrong with the game?
PC Specs
Is it High for me or Max?
PC Specs
I would say Max. Good Luck.
PC Specs
Thanks
PC Specs
No problem.
PC Specs
i can play at medium with my dx10.1 card !!!! :D
PC Specs
what about the optimization of the game? is it good on PC?
PC Specs
Going by the recommended gpu req I would say it is well optimized!
either way I think you would max this!
PC Specs
Reports are saying that this is a great PC port and that it runs quite well on most mid-range and high-end graphics cards.
PC Specs
Yep, that's true. I've also seen many people with low-end cars (even worse than mine) claiming to play this at low-med settings smoothly with HD+ resolutions. Great job Codemasters have done, my fav racing games devs along with Slightly Mad.
PC Specs
Agreed. People give them s... because their games are too "arcady", but in my opinion they blend simulation with arcade gameplay really well. Can't wait to get this game. The only thing I need is money. LOL!
PC Specs
Everyone needs them lol
PC Specs
cosmin did you just say Low end cars :P
PC Specs
Haha I did, my mistake, I meant cards.
PC Specs
I'd say +1 for that :D
PC Specs
guys in min req it says that geforce 8600gt is playable but its dx10 and not 11 so the min dx req is wrong?
PC Specs
yea its wrong you can run it with dx10
PC Specs
wil i be able to play this with my ge force 9600gt graphics card?
PC Specs
of course,med settings will be fine i think
PC Specs
550 Ti 6770 !!! This is Heaven
PC Specs
Finally a game that is properly optimized. I had almost lost hope for such games.
PC Specs
Yea it sucks big time. but next gen consoles architecture is closer to pc than current gen so hopefully it will be easier to port games over to pc
PC Specs

PC Specs

PC Specs
