Grid 2: system requirements and release date

In the modern world of computer games, if you are keen on racing simulators, you rarely meet projects that stand out among others with their realism. Naturally, we are not talking about a graph that, with modern possibilities, reaches incredible heights of realism. Here the question is about physics - about the car's behavior on the road, about management and other similar aspects. The fact is that most of the simulators are arcade games, that is, they significantly simplify the control - in most cases it reduces only to a few buttons that set the direction, allow you to accelerate and slow down. Also, the physics of the car's movement is not true and adapted for maximum pleasure. However, there are also projects that differ in their realism. In them you will have to make every effort to at least go smoothly and fit into simple turns. Something more will require you to be truly masterful. It is to such games that the Grid 2 project, system requirements of which will be considered further, applies.

operating system

Are you looking for a racing simulator in which there is not even a hint of arcade in which you need to take care of switching in time for each transmission, about every extra and missing centimeter when turning the rudder? You are ideally suited Grid 2. System requirements, however, may not be the most enjoyable for many gamers. Although it is worth noting that if you do not have a completely outdated computer, then at least on minimum requirements you will start this game. It is worthwhile immediately to look at the supported OS to understand that this game is aimed at a fairly broad masses. The fact is that now almost all projects refuse to support beginners to lose their relevance to the OS, such as XP or Vista. But in the case of this racing simulator, there is support for both these systems, as well as the newest seventh and eighth versions. Therefore, you do not have to worry about which OS you are running Grid 2. System requirements in this respect are rather lenient, which gives hope for not too high requests for other key parameters.

CPU

What is worth mentioning here? As it was already said, on a minimal basis almost everyone can launch Grid 2, the system requirements in this case are not very high - only 2.4-2.7 gigahertz per two cores. Such a processor has almost everyone, and if not, you definitely need to upgrade your computer, since you can hardly run any modern games on it. However, immediately it is worth paying attention not to the minimum, but to the recommended requirements, because here everything is much more serious. The fact is that you will need a processor with at least four cores, each of which will have 3.7 gigahertz of performance. Or you have the option to run the game on a six-core processor with a lower performance, in the region of three gigahertz. Thus, you can play Grid 2 even on the average computer, if you do not care about the maximum requirements. But to get everything from the game, you will need a very powerful device. In the case of Grid 2, the system requirements on the PC are very high when it comes to the optimal version. The same goes for RAM.

RAM

If we talk about RAM, in Grid 2, the minimum system requirements are not too scary - you only need two gigabytes of RAM, which is now even on most laptops. What can I say about stationary, and even more so gaming computers. However, again, if you want to get the most from how you play this game, you'll need at least four gigabytes, which is more impressive. One good thing is that the developers did not begin to overstate the requirements to the level at which all modern large projects are currently being published. They often have 6-8 gigabytes of RAM in the graphs of the minimum and recommended system requirements, respectively. However, in comparison with the same Race Driver Grid 2, the system requirements of which are definitely impressive, this project can attract a much larger audience.

Video card

If it comes to a video card, then everything here is pretty nice for all gamers. The fact is that in the graph of minimum requirements, a modest 256 megabytes of video memory appears, so you can easily run this simulator even on a relatively old map. Only the problem will be that many older cards are incompatible with DirectX 11, and this is a direct requirement for launching Grid 2.

release date

The process of getting Grid 2 to the main markets did not take much time. May 28, 2013 the game appeared in the United States of America, two days later she reached Australia, and another one - to Europe. In Russia, it appeared only a week after the release in the EU and only on consoles - the release on the PC was late for another week.
