Can I Run GRID?

Codemasters released GRID in 2022. It is an action racing game, published by Electronic Arts. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. There are 90 achievements to chase. Cloud saves are enabled.

Why GRID is demanding

GRID sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia GTX 1080, AMD RX590, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. GRID needs 64 bit Windows. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means GRID scales hard with the hardware you give it. DirectX 12 is named, so GRID expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. GRID takes about 50 GB of disk space.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run GRID?

100%

Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: GRID runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GTX 950, AMD RADEON RX 460 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	1.73x
1440p	Borderline	0.98x
4K	Below the bar	0.43x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against GRID's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
