It been posted by Codemasters that if your computer can handle running GRID, computer should be OK for FUEL.

Looking at your computer specs, your computer is about like mine before I upgraded mine. I could run Ultra settings with GRID but had to use 1024x768 resolution so as not to have slow downs online.

I would think you should be able to run FUEL, but maybe not at a high resolution.

I was using 1024x768, 2xAA and Ultra settings, except Particles set to High with no slowdowns online when the smoke is flying in a derby race with my old 8800 GTS video card.

Now with my new ATI 4870 ( in reviews the 4870 got better FPS with GRID than a Nvdia 260 ), I use 1280x1024, 4xAA and Ultra settings, except Particles set to High. Offline I could run 1600x1200, but online I think GRID run a tad slow. I think I feel it in the handling of the cars online.

If your comp could handle grid, it can handle FUEL....

Depends what you define ''it can handle grid''. Is it, handling it at lowest detail and settings? Or medium? Or high?

You play GRID on High - You play FUEL on High

I hope so. I don´t want to buy new Hardware for this Game. And @Unimatrixero: It is better you use Windows Vista instead of Windows 7, because Windows 7 is not "mature" enough. And it is better that the Game is crashing instead of the whole System.

@Driverspeed

please get cluded up before you rant on about windows 7 and beta for YOUR informations windows 7 is the most stable OS i have used in years, ive been runing the betas on my PRIMARY pc since build 7057 and its been nothing but stable
everysingle device has worked, every single game has ran without ANY problems whatso ever.
In fact Windows 7 is MORE STABLE that vista ever was/will be
And for your information im finding that games are running smoother on windows 7 than they ever did under vista.
Si if i was you i would wise up ans ditch that so called 'mature' vista OS you have and take a look at Windows 7

I bid you a fond good day, and goodbye sir!

I am better waiting for the Final Version. Because an RC of every Operating System can have his Lacks which can crash a whole PC-System.
Windows 7 may be faster but I am still waiting for buying this OS for 200 Euros.

Don't feel right buying DIRT 2 if others are getting screwed out of their hard earn dollars. GFWL stole my game Please Codemasters and Microsoft fix this injustice to online racing! Let the WHOLE world race online like we do with GRID and Flatout 2!! Will F1 use GFWL?
