    Hi @420Quick420 Wanted to give an update on this I was able to confirm it does require a card that supports AVX, Since the Xeon does not we wouldn't be able to get the game running. 

    I don't have information if this will change, but it is possible to refund games with Origin under our Great Games Guarantee. We could look at that or try a different device if possible. 

    Apologies for this,

Thanks for the reply,but the answer suxx.I had to buy a used machine with 'higher specs' and now the game works.The only problem is that the 'new' machine with i7-3770k actually plays ALL games I have tried at lower fps than my current Xeon rig(which has no avx) Forcing people to use avx is new and I still think we should be seeing a NON-AVX exe released.C'mon codies EA is a money hungry corporation who cares not for gamers,don't let them tell you what to do to your game.It's a great Grid game but I have a machine albeit older that would run the game MUCH better and have had to resort to buying a second hand rig to play.Reward my dedication and release a non-avx.exe please.Kudos to the rep who actually looked into this for me......buys beerXD
