| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
GRID Legends supported Windows 7/8/10/11.
The priority and main graphics API for GRID Legends is DX12.
| GAME ENGINE |
GRID Legends, like all the latest games from this studio, was developed on a modified EGO engine version 3.0. EGO is a game engine, a modified version of the Neon engine used in the game Colin McRae: DiRT, developed by Codemasters and Sony Computer Entertainment using Sony’s cross-platform PhyreEngine graphics engine. The engine is targeted at the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 hardware and software platforms.
On July 6, 2009, Brian Marshall, Codemasters’ technical director, officially announced that the PC version of DiRT 2, which would use the “EGO” engine, would add support for DirectX 11. Thus, the “EGO” engine became the first engine for which support for DirectX 11 was implemented. At the moment, support for DirectX 12 is implemented.
| SETTINGS |
GRID Legends has a wide range of graphic settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
| QUALITY MODES |

MSI Afterburner |
Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 maximum graphics quality settings.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX and GTX video cards are provided by LLC Business Development Center.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by solutions Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920×1080, 2560×1440 and 3840×2160 with various anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the schedule at the request of the reader.

| CPU TEST |
Testing was carried out at a resolution of 1920×1080. In the processor test, you can remove or add any processor positions. You can also select any tested video card from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given processor test results (by default, the most productive solution from NVIDIA is selected). Testing takes place on the most powerful NVIDIA and AMD video cards and scales to low-end models.
- Very high
When using video cards NVIDIA processors showed an acceptable indicator of at least 25 frames per second Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i 7 4770, and an FPS of at least 60 frames per second will be able to provide solutions at the level Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i 7 4770 .
When using video cards AMD acceptable figure is not less than 25 frames per second showed processors Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i 7 4770 , and FPS not lower than 60 frames per second will be able to provide level solutions Ryzen 5 1400 or Core i 7 4770 .

GameGPU
The game can load up to 8 threads. The game uses 4 threads as efficiently as possible.
| RAM TEST |
The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 9 12900K with 32 GB DDR5 5400 MHz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various video cards without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.
