Can I Run GRID Legends?
GRID Legends is an action racing game from Codemasters, released in 2022. Electronic Arts published it. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. The game ships for Windows alone. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. There are 90 achievements to chase. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.

Why GRID Legends is demanding
GRID Legends 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. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. GRID Legends needs 64 bit Windows. The install is small at roughly 50 GB. GRID Legends calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so GRID Legends at the floor and GRID Legends at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run GRID Legends?
Older hardware holds up here: GRID Legends 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 Legends'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.
