It’s another reason why I am so very happy it’s here. I actually own the original GRID, and I really quite liked it and missed the experience quite a lot now being a full Linux gamer. It took me quite a while to actually get to grips with how different a racer this game is. GRID Autosport is a very different beast, and it won’t let you just power around corners like you can in DiRT. If you played DiRT Showdown, be prepared to unlearn it. It will certainly be interesting to see his results, as he now mainly uses the open source driver. I am looking forward to seeing Samsai’s performance report on his AMD 370. The Nvidia 970 performs fine in all cases, and a rather old Nvidia 560ti paired with an AMD processor can work with Medium settings, not a bad port really. This should give you an idea of the power needed. Min: 12 FPS It was barely playable, without even looking at an FPS counter you could see it was terribly sluggish. Even the main menu took a long time to respond. I did two extra tests here on 720p to see if it made a difference.ġ080p, On Ultra preset, with advanced lighting on, soft AO on, global illumination and 8XMSAA: > SteamOS, AMD FX-8320 + Nvidia 560ti (graphics card that is below their minimum requirements). > Ubuntu 15.10, Intel i5 4670k, Nvidia 970ġ080p, On Ultra preset, with advanced lighting on, soft AO on, global illumination and 8xMSAA: The track used in the benchmark is pretty heavy in general. It should be noted, as always, that benchmarks are stress-tests, and real-world performance is generally better. Although they are mighty expensive, so it won’t be a purchase soon. That’s pretty damn awesome to be able to do it on Linux, and I’m looking at investing in some to try it for fun. I haven’t personally been able to test them, but GRID Autosport does support pad and wheels for the authentic driving feel. It’s nice that games can cater to different uses like this one can. I do like the fact that in desktop mode I get a launcher I can change settings with, but on SteamOS or Big Picture mode with Steam it boots directly into the game. Feral Interactive are unable to support those chips currently, so buy it at your own peril. It doesn’t support AMD or Intel again sadly, so it may work, it may not. That’s probably the most important thing, that you have a good experience, and not what your FPS counter actually says (stop staring at it!). I have been able to play it for extended periods on Ultra settings without a stutter that I can detect. ![]() ![]() Like all of Feral Interactive ports, it won’t perform at Windows level performance, but it is a very smooth port. ![]() They each give you 2% more XP for turning them off too, handy. I’ve been driving without Stability Control, Cornering Assist, Racing Line and Steering Assist.
