Grid 2 is the sequel to the racing video game Race Driver: Grid. It was developed and published by Codemasters. The game includes numerous real world locations such as Paris, numerous United States locations, and many more, and also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed ‘TrueFeel’, which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility.
We test at the maximum image quality settings, which are different for both AMD and Nvidia cards. The Nvidia hardware is tested at 16xQCSAA and the AMD hardware is tested at 8f16x EQAA.
The results below therefore are NOT directly comparable. We wanted to show performance from both AMD and NVIDIA solutions in GRID 2 when maximising the image quality settings.
Playable frame rates at Ultra HD 4K, averaging 49 frames per second. This game really looks great with AMD hardware at 3,840 x 2,160 with the maximum image quality settings.
This is awesome- i love the GPU reviews here. Wish I had £500 spare, or £600 for the 8GB version.
Sapphire focus a lot on the VRM’s – which many AMD partners DON”T. Glad to see you pointing it out in this review
The Sapphire 290 is the better value card, its only 6 phase, not 10, but it overclocks well and saves you £130. enough to get a good new power supply
I prefer their blue finish, to the orange. its very sexy. I still have a Sapphire AIW card, thats how well they are built 😉
Not much of an AMD fan but that card looks sexy.
