GRID on X3100

Hello!!

Ive played Toca Race Driver 2 an 3 on my intel X3100 always at maxed graphics and resolution. However, i was wondering if I could do the same with new GRID game, except with setting everything to low or off.

Once again insults are not welcomed.

Thanks

 

I have no idea but its worth a shot, Don't buy it now, get it using other ways and try it out first

 

Yes, you can run it. But only only med/low

 

thanks!!!! is the first game i can run on the x3100!!! xD

seriously, have you tried it? cos im going to buy the game today.... shame i cant try the demo!! (writing from iPhone )

 

not possible,it will be like a slideshow

 

If he turns AA off, and puts everythign on low, he will be able to run it at aroudn 25 fps.

 

25FPS in a racing game is not acceptable. dont waste your money or time.

 

do you have grid?

 

Grid barely ran well for me on a 8600gt on 1280x800 with medium/high. it may scale back well into low settings but it will probably look like mud.

 

I've seen a lot about it, but no i don't have it, so listen to those guys who do.

 

mate bought grid.


mate, gonna exchange it. Im sure i could make a better slideshow with PowerPoint. With the return money Im gonna buy a few books and forget about gaming forever.

 

Even at lowest settings GRID will barely cross 5-10 fps with a X3100.

 

Yeah Intel IGPs are a bust.

 

I second that, I had to play on 1024x768 to get a smooth experience with my gddr2 8600m GT... Don't waste your time. Stick to Race Driver 2 and 3...

 

GRID will kill anything less than a 8600M GT, I can just about run it on my MBP on med, and that has a 3dmark06 of 4500.

 

I agree. My Go 7600 was struggling badly to run it on low-med settings.

 

I bought GRID, and you'll be lucky to get 10fps on a X300 with everything low. I think the game itself sucks if you truly like virtual track racing. GTR2, Race 07 and GTR Evolution are more realistic and more fun IMO.

 

grid will make your notebook with x3100 will explode.

 

Vicious, Is that GT GDDR3¿¿ And when you guys say "barely", "smooth" how many average fps are you talking about?

I'm asking because i want to know if the SLI really makes a diff in this game... And how much diff will it be...

 

good luck, i had my 8400m gs OCed to 600/1200/750 from 400/800/500, its barely playable on 800x600 res everything on low (playable for racing games is at ~50fps)

 

my P-7811FX(gateway) runs that game pegged at 1920x1200 at 35fps

 

I tried the demo (what the hell is up with the steering controls, lol)
My GDDR3 9200M GS can run it at 1024x768, with no AA but medium/low settings.
I googled it but cant find out how to mannually lower the resolution to 1024x640 so it is native to my screen, any help would be appriciated.

 

how is that related to the topic?

 

About 30fps if memory serves correctly.

1280x800 medium settings and I think some high. Had the card overclocked some too. Great cpu.

Played fine, slow menuloading.

On battery power it was a slide show

DDR3 8600gt is about 30% faster so should run all high 1280x800.

But integrated like the x3100 I just do not think that is a reality.

 

It runs really well on my X205 SLI1, haven't had any issues at all with it... great game!

as for the X3100, I doubt it'll be enjoyable... I'm running GRID on my Tablet with the ATI HD3200, and it's fun and playable at 800x600, but that's about as low as you're gonna want to go and the HD3200 is great bit faster than the X3100 I had prior.

 

I run grid on my core2 2.0Ghz, 8600M GT DDR3 clocked 650/800 almost everything high, AA 8x very very smooth, even more than the same game on PS3. This game's graphics are amazing.

 

Yeah, I bought it and I can play it fine on low. About 24-32 fps.

You can just windowed your GRID to 800x600 or 640x480.
I am using GF 9500MGS 512MB-GDDR2.
I run 800x600 windowed mode, AA 4x, VSYNC turned on, many setting low and a few setting ultra and high.
It run smoothly and I am very happy XD!

To turn your GRID to windowed mode,
go to your C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Codemasters\GRID\hardwaresettings
Open hardware_settings_config using notepad.
Check the setting inside and you could see this,
fullscreen="true"
You got to modify it to fullscreen="false"
After that, save the hardware_settings_config.
Close the hardware_settings_config.
Run your GRID, it should be windowed now.

24-25FPS is good already.
Because the films or videos we watch are actually 24 or 25 FPS.
Basically known as Animation.
