official GRID PC specs


Recommended Posts

I just tried the demo and was pretty impressed. I have barely over minimum specs with a AMD 3000+ at 2.4ghz, 1gig of ram and an overclocked 7800GT and it ran perfectly smooth with settings on high and with the highest res possible.

can someone tell me how to drift in this game- cuz everytimg i end up pressing the handbrake it starts to drift on the corner-but then oversteers and i end up in the wall.. and i cant seem to, for the life of me- run a drift from one corner to the other...

im getting frustrated.!!

btw im using a xbox pad on pc.

Excellent game, the handling is weird but you get used to it.

It is one of the best arcade racing games i have played, right when things are getting too repetitive, they throw you F1 Races, or Le Mans 24 hours, etc, im enjoying it a lot.... the F1 races are awesome.

In Le Mans 24 hours, it actually turns to night while you are playing, its something so simple that no other racing game does, and it feels awesome, your headlights turn on, its just awesome. :)

My only gripe with the game is the music... but i can put Winamp in the background with something else :)

don't accelerate all the way. you have to dose your acceleration once you're sideways to keep yourself from going back to normal position and also from spinning.

Exactly how arcade is it? NFS arcade or Burnout arcade or Trackmania arcade or ToCA arcade?

It's a bit like NFS Carbon.

Got a question, saw my friend playing the Le Mans part and noticed there was no fuel gauge or tire wear, is this correct? If so, that's really, really lame.

This is ridiculous. My system can't run the demo for this game - why? My specs aren't top notch, but they're not laughable in the slightest.

2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6550

2 GB RAM

NVidia 512MB 8600 GS

22" Monitor (1680x1050 native res)

Windows Vista

And yet, the only thing that will make the demo go at any credible frame rate is everything on absolutely lowest (custom lowest, not lowest preset setting), which looks absolutely awful and unplayable. Is this because of the demo, or because of my Rig? I know I don't reach the reccomend specs, but clearly I'm well above the minimum specs. Any suggestions?

That system should be able to run it well in medium detail. No idea why not :s Got the latest drivers for your hardware?

I'd bet it's the low endish 8600gs + 22 inch resolution.

Just got the full version of this. Runs significantly smoother than the demo. I had no problem with the handing of the two cars in the demo, but I am having a ridiculous time with any cars but the muscle cars in the full game (hopefully getting an xbox controller will help) They just spin out far too easily making some races nearly impossible, for some reason the only cars I don't spin out in are the muscle cars which doesn't make much sense because they are rear drive beasts.

An Ultra HQ modified files pack was posted on SA by IcemanZero

Here is my Ultra High Pack. Visible Objects are maxed out, so are shadows and some AA. Just overwrite with your configuration. Start the game choose your resolution, everything should work fine. (BACKUP YOUR OWN FILES)

Here are some pp changes (lighting etc) for the tracks.

config for POS systems on its way

Edit: Performance Pack for the "lower" end systems

There's a definite improvement with the Ultra Quality Graphics! just look at how nice this looks:

1920x1200 no performance hit!

Also in motion it seems smoother! the Shibuya Drift level in particular is butter smooth, so smooth and slick that if you were say back you'd think you were watching it live on TV !

Nice Shots mrk.

I am amased at how well this runs. I tried out the demo on the 360 and enjoyed it, I then realised it was a ton cheaper on the PC. I ws expecting it not to run that well with details maxed out on my lcd, but I was wrong. Just goes to show what a bit of care in the coding can do. NFS pro street runs like a dog on my rig, EA could learn a few things from codemasters.

I'm running the game at 720p resolution with everything on ultra, using he 360 controller.

Pure smoothness!

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
