Suggest you email the company making the game for more details, or suggest you try this, found doing a google search: http://www.eurogamer.net

OK sorry for length of thread but its from a member of GR:AW forums explaining a few things. Mods feel free to edit as you see fit

Thanks to Capteenix for original posting on Ubi Forums

..............................................................

Step ONE: Check PC System Requirements

Computer: Pentium IV of 2Ghz or the equivalent (2.8Ghz recommended)
Memory: 512MB RAM (1024Mb recommended)
Operating System: Windows 2000/XP
DirectX: DirectX9.0c
Video Card: Shader 2.0 card with 128 MB of VRAM (256MB recommended)
Sound card: DirectX9 compatible sound card
Internet: Broadband / LAN connection

Step TWO: Check YOUR Specs
it's generally a VERY GOOD IDEA to find out as much information as you can about your system. A good way to do this would be to install and run a free analysis program like one of the below
Lavasys Everest Very comprehensive, will give you exact information. Must wait while it runs after downloading and installing. Find CPU/motherboard information by checking Summary->Motherboard, find RAM information under Motherboard->SPD (only need to note the modules listed, not their various information pieces) and for the graphics card, check GPU.

*High-Dynamic Range (HDR)
HDR will apparently work with all SM2.0 and later cards, but it also appears that a SM 2.0 card may even be REQUIRED to play the game. as noted in December live chat the game uses a shadow-mapping method instead of stencil(?) shadows like Doom3, or FEAR(?). This performs far better, allows for easy, true soft shadowing, and if you have a SM 2.0 extended or SM 3.0 card, can be handled very, very fast.
Step THREE: Videocards
For those Who are really curious as how good their video card is, I have checked out a about of how good any video card in use today stacks up against each other. It's VERY hard to make a list,so it's not gaurunteed to be accurate. Keep in mind that the amount of videocard RAM memory on the board has NO real impact on performances in and of itself; it just makes into play in determining how well the card will do on specific detail levels. As a general rule, the lower on the list the card comes, the more powerful it is; all cards in one lower list section ARE more/most powerful than those of the section above it, and generally, (this list was done after looking at hundreds of benchmarks, and aren't nearly perfect) Well here's the list:
ATTENTION: GRAW is using Diesel Engine 6.0, that was made with NVIDIA Support,so expect ALL Geforce cards to run GRAW better than ATI's cards. It os possible that Geforce 7800 can outperform Ati X1900, because of that reason (Remember that, it is yet a expection)

OUTDATED these cards DO NOT/DO SUPPORT 1.x Pixel Shaders and won't run GRAW
* Radeon 7000
* GeForce 4 MX 4000
* GeForce 256

WEAK-END These cards are what i expect to be necessary for GRAW, but expect huge Performance drop. Still very weak
* Intel GMA 900 Integrated graphics (chipset 915) (incredibly weak , does support PS 2.0)
* GeForce FX 5200 & GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (different models have wildly varying performance)
* GeForce PCX 5300

* Radeon X600 (HyperMemory)
* Radeon 9600SE
* Radeon 9550
* Radeon X550SE
* Radeon X300
* Radeon 9600

LOW-END these cards, are told to be weak, but for most people these can provide suitable gameplay
* Radeon X1300 (HyperMemory)
* Radeon 9500
* GeForce 6500
* Volari V5 Ultra
* Radeon 9600pro & Radeon X600pro
* GeForce FX 5700ultra

* GeForce 6800XT
* GeForce 6800 (PCI-express version)
* GeForce 6600GT
* Radeon X800SE
* Radeon 9800XT

HIGH-END These cards a more than enough, and definitely should play GRAW with good settings

Thanks for that
That doesn't look to bad a spec for it to run IMHO.
Mine should cope ok then

Cheers,
