Please note: at this time, the integrated benchmark is not able to record frame rates below 12.5 fps. Only users stuck with very old or weak GPUs might have to resort to the lowest settings. 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.

The standout feature and a major plus of GRID Autosport is the highly adjustable graphics menu.
