GRID PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

GPU Performance Scaling – RDNA/Navi VS Turing at 1440p

Today we will start our graphics card comparisons with AMD’s Navi-powered Radeon RX 5700 and Nvidia Turing-powered Geforce RTX 2060, both of which are available for under £400. 

Looking at each of GRID’s graphical presets at a resolution of 1440p, we can see that both graphics cards are capable of 1440p 60+FPS gameplay during daytime races. However, when the rain starts both graphics cards can drop into the low 50s. Dropping the game to high settings will result in a huge increase in game performance while producing relatively few graphical downsides. In our eyes, this framerate boost is more than worth the visual consequences, especially if you are using a high refresh rate 1440p monitor.   

Under all presets, GRID 2019’s weather effects have a significant impact on game performance, showcasing how demanding the game’s weather effects can be.
