![]() With the normal preset and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, low-end GPUs from the Intel HD Graphics 4600 on up are sufficient. Even with the DDR3 version of the GeForce GT 750M, we still measured frame rates of just above 40 fps. All things considered, even a GeForce GTX 860M (doesn't matter if Kepler or Maxwell) can guarantee a smooth gaming experience.Ī typical allrounder-notebook is powerful enough to support a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, provided that 4x MSAA is not checked. The most powerful mobile GPU provides similar performance to a middle-class desktop card: the GeForce GTX 880M, for example, reaches 77 fps on ultra and is thus quite comparable to the GeForce GTX 760 (73 fps), which sells for 200-300 Euro ($275-$410). The GeForce GTX 780 Ti managed a frame rate of 123 fps and easily outperforms all single-GPU notebooks with the settings on ultra. Thanks to support from both AMD and Nvidia we were able to extend our inventory of graphics cards with a few current desktop models. AMD notebooks therefore shouldn't have start-up issues like we experienced with F1 2013. Although we've seen this practice in the past, it makes operation a bit convoluted and not as smooth as it could be.Īside from a few software crashes and freezes in some scenes, which we weren't able to reproduce, the technology seems up to par. ![]() ![]() We don't really like the fact that the menus are nested within each other, however. Great: since all graphics options can be adjusted on the fly, the user doesn't have to stop and restart the game after each and every adjustment. Aside from CMAA and MSAA, GRID Autosport also supports (Q)CSAA and EQAA, although the latter two options are reserved for Nvidia and AMD, respectively. ![]() In addition, there are 5 presets (Ultra Low to Ultra) and several anti-aliasing options. While Need for Speed Rivals only offers a handful of options, Codemasters' product has more than 20 of them, which allow the user to tailor the game to his or her liking. I think CM got the balance mroe or less right (for me) on this one.The standout feature and a major plus of GRID Autosport is the highly adjustable graphics menu. I do wish they would leave out the 'Drifting' all together though tbh. (not to mention the cockpit cam, which I LIKE very much).Im goign to race online tonight after work.cant wait! The only setting Ive had to tweak back and forth was the 'Linearity'.I havent found it easy to hold a straight line.which is realistic I suppose.in real life the dirvers cant just hold the wheel straight down the straights.Īnway.my settings arent far off.I can see the improvement already over Grid 2, especially the more realisitic handling.the 'sliding is faster' was FUN in Grid 2.but no good for those of us that lean more to simulation than arcade. Strange thing.no 'Force Feedback' setting.just 'Vibration'?.not sure what up there, but it still feels just fine. Im familiar with CM wheel setting so I got them right just about, before even playing. Well i loved Autosport almost immediately with a wheel. Just wondering, since I couldnt find any discussion about the relative merits of control devices.and i dont want to get all my rig out if Im just going to put it away again soon after realising its so similar to Grid 2 ! (btw, if Im using the wheel, Im a 'zero assists', max realism/Ai Difficulty type player.being a glutton for punishment : D I hear this game has settings for assists, unlike the 'one size fits all' thing in Grid 2) Or is it bettter with controller like I found with Grid 2? So what have you guys found.is this one better with the wheel? Is the feedback any better than Grid 2.more akin to the F1 games perhaps? Now Ive been playing the CM games since TOCA etc, and I love them.I even liked Grid 2.BUT I only liked it when my wheel broke one day, and I gave it a try using an x360 controller.I found the game MUCH more enjoyable (and with more effective control/faster laps) using this, instead of dealing with the poor FF and crazy over steer-centric handling model in Grid 2 with a steering wheel. Got the game a week or so back and intending to session it tonight after work.
