Gaming: Race Driver - GRID

Codemasters has released Race Driver: GRID, offering many Race events to compete in. Description is: "Charge a Ford Mustang GTR muscle car through the iconic streets of San Francisco, race a BMW 320Si in the Jarama Touring Car Race and drift around the docks of Yokohama in a Nissan Silvia S15. Race against 11 friends on your favorite track and test your metal online or prove yourself in the single player game." GRID is a stunning game with a great racing feel, but most of all excellent graphics.

Based on the Ultra image quality settings you are looking at resolutions from 10x7 up to the 4M+ pixels counting  2560x1600. To spice image quality up, we enabled 4xMSAA as well.

Now look at that. In my preview reviews I already explained that at 2560x1600 here and there we see odd behavior. I expected this to be a framebuffer limitation. With 2 GB on-board the R700 indeed confirms my suspicions. 80 FPS... which is just crazy.

At that resolution we did however get some stuttering here and there. Something ATI definitely needs to focus at as it is reported a lot in our forums as well. Other than that, breathtaking stuff ...
