What are you racing with? The keyboard? Because you might want to use a controller or wheel for it. Its way easier to throttle/brake/steer with a controller than with a keyboard.

Keep playing. Also mess with the driver aids to see what works best for you. Once I got the hang of it. I loved that game more than any other driving game in recent memory. It feels like real driving to me. People tout the Gran Turismo series all the time, but I've driven quite a few fast cars, and that's not how they feel to me.

Looking at the various benchmarks, there doesn't seem to be any significant difference between the two in any games, even at higher resolution. Is there any justification I'm not thinking of for paying the extra £20 or so for the higher bandwidth (256bit vs 192bit) and larger memory?

Also, I've always been an Nvidia gamer so I've only really looked at Nvidia cards, so if there's an ATI card at the same price point, I'd definitely consider getting that instead.

The system I'm coming from is an 8800GT on a Core2Duo @ 3GHz, and I'm only looking for the video upgrade in the nearest future. I'm not a high res gamer at the moment (1440x900), though I might be looking to upgrade monitors some time early next year.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hey guys, bought grid yesterday, been playing it quite a lot today, now i think its a good game, BUT apart from drifting im finding it tough and sometimes frustrating because i have to keep hitting the "restart" option lol xD. Do i just need practice? When im drifting its the opposite, because i find it too easy and my score on the hardest difficulty is way higher than the cpu's.
