About
Split/Second (2010) is an intense action racing game that stands out for its dynamic destruction mechanics. Rather than a traditional racing sim, it's set within a reality TV show where you can trigger massive environmental events to sabotage competitors. The game combines arcade-style racing with explosive set pieces that constantly reshape the track, making each race unpredictable and high-energy.
The game is quite accessible for modern PC hardware and won't demand top-tier specs. With a minimum CPU score around 154 and 3GB RAM requirement, even mid-range GPUs from the last decade handle it well at high FPS. You can expect smooth 60+ FPS performance on entry-level to mid-range graphics cards, and the game scales nicely across different performance tiers, so benchmark testing is straightforward.
With an 82/100 rating and its emphasis on explosive, action-packed racing rather than simulation, Split/Second is worth playing if you enjoy arcade racers and destructible environments. It's a solid choice for testing GPU performance across different configurations due to its manageable optimization.
Performance profile
May 2010 release. Split/Second targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.
Racing games like Split/Second are latency-critical — input-to-screen responsiveness is everything. Target a locked 60 FPS minimum (ideally 120 FPS on a high-refresh display) with VSync off or G-Sync/FreeSync active.
Extremely light — Split/Second runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Split/Second is an intense action racing game set within a reality television show. Competitors will vie to be the first to the finish line in a made-for-TV city set rigged to blow with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion. Players in Split/Second don’t just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track, but can also trigger devastating events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use pinpoint timing to obliterate huge structures and towering TV set pieces to tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes.
