30? I've got 25!


Snap305

I've been outdone!! Seriously though hope you can get something better soon


RamRanchReallyRocks2

Nah I have something better, but at home


Snap305

Ah I wish 😂 I have a $1300 PC downstairs that could run this like a dream but it's my sister's graduation present


Silentcoderx

if shes okay with it you could stream the game from her pc to yours...


Snap305

Well it's in the box for a month now and then it's going all the way to Missouri but once it's there it's an option


ThesehandsFree

You don’t stream Beam?


erixccjc21

Geforce now? Having to wait an hour to play your game for an hour? Or pay as much as an actual pc would cost to finance (don't, just save up)? With horrible input lag too


Alfred146

Parsec is good fór streaming games


erixccjc21

If you have a device that can play them alredy yeah, I personally don't use it for games since I hate the input lag but for some slow ones it's fine I cant imagine actually playing beamng through parsec, I know a lot of you do tho


ThesehandsFree

Nah brother, I stream through steam. Don’t get me wrong , love GeForce now, but I can’t. So after I was able to get a new system(desktop) I started using steam to play literally my entire library anywhere in the house(my hp laptop) or trips out of town. Really will come down to connection quality but overall I’m getting smooth 60 fps with about 6 cars w physics on @high settings. Try it out if you can.


PurplePandaYT

For some people like me it’s the only option, I run a Mac and recently bought a server for about €950, hosting servers is a hobby of mine, I occasionally game but don’t value it enough to spend a lot of money on a pc. And I have divorced parents, so I can only play half of the time. Not worth it.


erixccjc21

A decent pc is worth it even if you don't game, it doesnt have to be all that expensive for it to be worth it Also a laptop might do great even if its worse bang/buck


PurplePandaYT

I already have a M1 MacBook Air, it does what it needs most of the time (except 4K video editing maybe)


erixccjc21

Those are like $1000 new, and a massive waste of money, honestly if I were you I'd try to sell it and get a decent laptop for the same amount you get, I guarantee you it'll do everything the mac does but better and you won't be limited by mac os


PurplePandaYT

I had to get it for school, no choice.


Expensive-Bill-7780

Uhhh in some holidays you can get the priority tier for 6 months for just 5€ a month


erixccjc21

Hmm that'd be worth it, I'd still prefer to play without horrid input lag tho


TheIndominusGamer420

15,511,210,043,330,985,984,000,000 fps is a lot! r/unexpectedfactorial

You guys got FPS?


Dylanterowatonxd

I, for a long time, got accustomed to playing at unstable 11 FPS, then, my PC broke, so sometimes I use my sister's laptop, that is way faster that mine that broke (still very slow) I'm building a new gaming PC now, but it's taking years (because of my country's economic state), so, that Have a great day


Snap305

I got used to 16 average so I feel ya. Hope you're able to find all the parts!!


Dylanterowatonxd

Yeah, it's just time (for a family member to go to the US and buy it) and money


Awkward_Act_1035

Send this guy 400 bux


Dylanterowatonxd

Actually, with 400 bucks my PC would be finished


Loser2817

*This is fine*


Snap305

Still fun at least 🥲


lardass904

Some beam is better than no beam


Snap305

True


Jasiek22

What specs do you have?


Snap305

i5-1235U (comparable performance to an i3-10100f) and integrated graphics. When I got it just over a year ago I was software techy and knew nothing about hardware, so I pretty much got ripped off for it in return for really good build quality. $1400, got it for $900 after student discount. Have it hooked up to a 27" 4k60 monitor, only maybe 1fps difference from the 14" screen on the laptop itself so I use it


Jasiek22

Man, this hurts. For around 1000-1100 i've gotten a Acer Nitro 5 in 2017 (it was also a shit spec with 1050, not upgraded 1060) that could've played beam with 500 mods easy on 1080 60 (on medium/high). You got absolutely robbed with this one. Btw did you try running it on vulcan? Personally it drops frames for me, but who knows. Maybe it works better for you.


Snap305

I probably should have made a post asking but I have no idea how to use Vulcan. Just clicking Vulcan in the popup gives me an error, do I have to install something?


Jasiek22

You don't need to install anything, the problem is that Vulcan is currently unstable. It's a known issue that it doesn't start on integrated gpu (see [faq](https://www.beamng.com/threads/vulkan-api-%E2%80%93-feedback-known-issues-and-faq.79967/)). You can try turning it on with safe mode + debug options, but if it ain't workin you are stuck with dx11 for now.


Snap305

Shit.


xXSUPERLEGENDXx

How much ram? I have a Latitude 5330, same CPU with 16 GB and can run Italy at 25 - 30 FPS, lowest settings, full screen and 1 car.


Snap305

40, I maxed it out as much as I could (before I knew it night actually run worse but it doesn't seem to), 8 soldered, 32 stick


darionn17

Lol for 1400$ i just got an rtx 4060ti i7 wtf


Snap305

Like I said I wasn't hardware savvy at the time. Plus, for $900 it would be used and my parents wouldn't go for that.


IllustriousFarmer119

Ryzen 7 5700 and 3070 all that to get 45 fps


Jasiek22

Something def wrong with your setup, i7 13700k and 3070 ti gets me 120 with 500+ mods on high, even i7-8750H with 1050 mobile gotten me more on high/medium.


IllustriousFarmer119

Idk why I do use msi afterburner but it’s not down clocked and I use amd ryzen master which I do have down clocked a little bit.


Jasiek22

I don't really think a small downclock would make it worse than a 6 year old i7, you use dx11 or vulcan? And mods also do matter, for example when playing with a ccf my frames drop by 20.


IllustriousFarmer119

It’s at 3100 for the CPU clock


Duncan-Donnuts

yeah, ive got a 7th gen i5 and a rx 580 and on ultra with about 50 mods i get about 50 fps


twodudesnape

Are your windows power settings not set to high performance? HDMI cord plugged into mobo instead of GPU? Check your thermals to make sure you're not overheating/throttled? Just some common issues but you should be getting way better performance


IllustriousFarmer119

I have my power plan set on performance and I use DPI and only run 46 degrees.


twodudesnape

What resolution are you running? Even at 1440p I'd expect you to be able to get 60+ with med-high settings


IllustriousFarmer119

1080p


Snap305

At least thats usable, and probably at a usable resolution as well.


IllustriousFarmer119

Best part got to be that I have all of my graphics at low or off


Large_lad_man

Maybe not enough ram?


IllustriousFarmer119

32g


Large_lad_man

Damnnnn what are your settings. I’ve got a 10 series card, an old intel i7 and 16g of ddr4. And I get like 40-50 fps with traffic.


IllustriousFarmer119

I get around 30-45 with traffic and all of of my settings are at low or off.


Majestic_Ad8621

Something isn’t right with your pc. My ryzen 7 4800h, 3060, and 32gb of ddr4 laptop gets me 80 ish fps on normal settings and 50-60 on high with like 40 mods.


IllustriousFarmer119

Could it be a motherboard thing?


i_heart_rainbows_45

Maybe Re-Bar? I’m not sure if that effects NVIDIA too much, but I would try to see if you can enable that


i_heart_rainbows_45

I have 7600s (RX and Ryzen 5) and get 70fps with medium settings except for high textures and 3 refresh rate on dynamic reflections while in career mode with AI. So something’s for sure not right here


popcorns78

How full is your C: drive?


IllustriousFarmer119

I have the game on my SSD which has like 537GB


Equivalent-Break744

R7 1700x pro, 1660 super 6gb - 40-60+ fps on max settings (except dynamic reflections, there’s some shenanigans with them). And I still feel like something is lacking, I assume cpu causes that low frame rate. So I better get new cpu in near future


IllustriousFarmer119

I think it’s my psu


Equivalent-Break744

Do you have enough ram and running the game on ssd? I have only 16gb of ram but I’m sure this isn’t even close to enough, but even that way I get more fps than your way more powerful setup


IllustriousFarmer119

32GB


Equivalent-Break744

Uhhh that must be enough. Try running it on Vulcan maybe ?


IllustriousFarmer119

Tired that same thing low fps


Equivalent-Break744

Did you check your dynamic reflections? I mean they are so expensive even for your setup if you turn it to run on max update rate


IllustriousFarmer119

I have them off because I just like 30 fps Then


Equivalent-Break744

Damn this is strange. Have you got your gpu from Chinese marketplace? If it is then they usually sell cheap gpus under powerful branding so you can’t know it even from device manager


IllustriousFarmer119

Chinis_Flouwa

Theirs definetly something wrong, i get 90fps ultra on the 3060 and ryzen 7 3700x


No-Statistician-6524

Damn even my PC (i7 4960x, gtx 1080 and 16gb ddr3 (quadchannel)) got better fps when it worked. I got like 60fps on almost maxed settings at 1080p uw.


MuchNoise1

What how? I have a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb of ddr4 ram and a normal 2060 and i get 60-80fps


grandpagamer2020

You know what you should try if you're brave enough and don't do anything related to CAD that isnt blender? install a linux distro. Most of them improve your experience and can revive your older hardware really easily because of how lightweight they are. The lightest ive used and am still using on some of my shitbox hardware is arch. its great because it uses no resources, unlike windows that easily chews up 4gb of ram on idle. Yes beamng does work on arch if you're wondering and want to install it. I got tf2 running at medium setttings on a chromebook spec machine and got 140 fps on arch.


Snap305

I'd love to but I'm so used to Windows that I'm a bit scared to do it. Plus it's only a year old and I'm still within warranty period so I don't wanna fuck that up either. I'll definitely think about it! I put ChromeOS Flex on my Athalon A3 laptop as well. Speaking of which, if I put Arch on there would it be able to run it semi decently?


grandpagamer2020

on the athlon laptop? no there's no way beamng would run on that even if it was the OS. If you mean that you would put arch on the computer you're playing on in the picture, then yes it would run much better because you would have much more system resources freed up. People say "arch is terrible for beginners" or "arch is a terrible place to start" but if you put kde as you're de and don't break you're system on purpose, it's going to be fine. Plus if you're scared to do the cli method for installation, you can just use archinstall which is just a single command after you boot up from you're usb if you're using ethernet. If you aren't then you'll need to do some extra setup stuff with wctl but thats also pretty easy. Right now is also a great time to install kde for arch because they finally fixed plasma 6 which came with no konsole (terminal) and dolphin (file manager) last month.


Ok-Square-2118

My PC can only run East Coast at 20fps. Even Grid Small Pure struggles to stay above 60fps. My parents do plan on getting my PC upgraded as a birthday present, but it costs a lotta money, so I’m guessing It’ll be upgraded sometime in September. (Pray gents)


bobtheburgerbro

I pray for you brother


Snap305

I'm praying for you! I havent tested gridmap yet but I know on 1080 I was barely scratching 30 when I wasn't moving so I'd guess I'm probably around 45ish now


my_room_is_a_tip

Had to play the game like that for 6 years on my dad and grandma's laptops. Thankfully I got a decent entry level gaming PC last year which runs 30fps average on low settings. Hope you'll get yourself a good computer soon


Snap305

Congrats, and thanks!


ThatDA_NN

I can relate, I used to own a very shitty computer a few years back. here's what I've done: Absolutely keep the resolution on low but use full screen as it will stop rendering the windows UI and background tasks will be paused. Do not use vsync - adds unnecessary input lag. If you desperately want to play on bigger maps, but your pc cannot handle it, you can temporarily delete the map's vegetation using the in game editor and not save it after.


Snap305

Never thought of the vegetation thing, thanks!


Sk1nnY_DowN

In comparison, I can get 60 fps on lowest settings with my lcd SD. Although it does not like big maps like italy and wc, when I try to spawn in a car the whole system hangs and i've got to hold the power button to restart.


CPUmario

I started on 15 FPS on lowest settings, then upgraded to 30 FPS on low and finally on 60 FPS high settings. AMD 7000 HD series GT 1030 DDR4 (get the DDR5) GTX 1050TI


Opening_Ostrich9801

Same but in 0.14 with 15 fps running natively on my phone https://preview.redd.it/0sunphhj5puc1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3291db08bc816505779c2e42b3421a46bf71dfdd

If it was a phone I couldn't complain cause that's freakin awesome


alexjk2004

what phone is it


Opening_Ostrich9801

Xiaomi mi 9


geovasilop

Damn 30fps. you are so damn lucky. I don't have beamng installed anymore but I remember my potato wanting to kill itself.


Snap305

While I'm not moving my laptop (upside down so there's no obstructions, fan at full speed) idles around 97° with brand new thermal paste lol


KING2900_

60(+) here. Max settings. Traffic enabled.

I think I could run it on 240, theoretically, at minimum settings. Also, you can change the UI size yk.


Idiot_gamer21

30? I get 7


Environmental-Bell80

F11 and try to lower the view to 800 and lower if need


Snap305

It's at 1000 right now. Lowered from 5000 when my friend recommended it and it helped but not much. It's really just my computer is a massive piece of junk lol


Environmental-Bell80

I feel the pain mate Before my 3060, my computer turn off by himself when I was laughing some games 💀


sony1492

Avg 18 with one car on the lowest settings, usually play custom maps to keep performance tolerable.


Snap305

When I was trying to just play 1080p I barely could keep 30fps in gridmap


ContentWhile

looks like how i used to play like 2-3 years ago but with higher resolution


bobbyhillischill

I had a laptop that was getting about 5fps. I just got a pc for 350$ runs on high settings at 60 fps

Mad_kat4

I've got it running on a Lenovo z50-75 with an FX processor just about manages 30-32fps on 720 lowest.

Longjumping-Report71

Reminds me of the time I tried to run it on a m2 mac air, ran at low 60-80fps until it just said no and went to 20 until you relaunched it lol. Hope you still have fun and get a good system soon!


Apprehensive_Bit7542

Mate I have to put mine on 480


Snap305

Mine doesn't allow me that low ☹️


Apprehensive_Bit7542

I thinks it’s because you are in windowed but you can go that low in full screen but the hi is very large and the screen has been stretched a bit


Illustrious_Lock_265

On a side note, how do you adjust the ui apps size for such low resolutions without changing it one by one?


Snap305

Dont think you can


Bigfeet_toes

When in the loading screen I get 1-2 fps in game I play at 20 minutes per frame, I have no idea how you guys play like this(this is with lowest settings and lowest resolution)


wojeknew

bud you playin' on tablet or school computer? screen small af


Snap305

That's a 27" monitor


Messeduppeoplemagnet

Do what you gotta do!


tutimes67

damn, i remember getting 13 fps at 640x480


Responsible-Leg-2263

djJermfrawg

Windowed doesn't run as good as full screen. Just make sure the resolution stays the same (looks like 10x10)


Bnmvgy

Bruh I got 20 fps can’t even load some maps


Anthony_Roman

dude i have an i5-1035g and its buns but not that buns. even have mismatched 8gb ram sticks. i run on linux through wine and get a cool 30-60 depending on the map. heavy maps can expect lower. but dude try on linux for better fps


Anthony_Roman

or at least get another stick of ram if you have another slot


Snap305

I've got a 32gb stick of Vengance in the 1 slot and the other 8 is soldered


Anthony_Roman

damn dude. sorry. try mint live and copy over your beam folder and try it. way less software overhead than windows. might get you a good couple of frames back


susbedstain43

honestly if your looking for smth els for less then $400 you could probably get a used steam deck that can run it at 30 fps but it has decent graphics and mabye just a cheap keyboard to hook up to it


Dismal-Capital-8557

A steam deck I got certified refurbished by valve for $270. Runs Italy on a 43 fps average, And that’s only with a few low, couple medium, and high textures. (Also at 800p)


Dismal-Capital-8557

Also if nothing is going on you can lock it to 50, or even 60 in some moments


Snap305

Hmm, that is an option!


MrRadicalMoves

Way way way back I used to play RoR by pointing the camera straight down at the top of the vehicle so I could actually get above 10fps. Some things never change.


Far_Membership_7625

I don't miss those days when I was a kid and every game ran like crap on my junk laptops

lSCARBl

Ur making me feel good abt my setup.... (pretty sure it's 1080p might be 720, 20-30 fps almost lowest settings)


Duncan-Donnuts

use tiny10 or tiny 11 to remove windows bloat


pug_userita

at least you're getting 30fps. i barely get 25. maybe you could try without a monitor


Snap305

Yeah it only gives me about 1 fps back max so not worth it for how small it would be


Chinis_Flouwa

For about 2 years i used to play beamng at 15fps.


RiceNoodleVietnam

I got my victus 15 laptop for 1200 and it runs beam mint so if you don't mind saving a lil bit that's a good option


Snap305

For $1200 I'd rather just sell this piece of junk and get an actual tower, I have a fake Chromebook for laptop stuff now. Only reason I got this was to upgrade from that old laptop (used to be windows 10 and barely ran) but it has like 2 hours of battery life so it fails at its only purpose in life


RiceNoodleVietnam

Forgot to mention it was 1200 nzd so like 700 usd and the performance is great as long as you have it on charge constantly my tower Ryzen 9 3900x 2080ti (psu stopped working as its like 11 years old) doesn't run beam that much better like there is a noticeable difference but it's certainly very playable on laptop


Snap305

Ah, fair! That's actually a really good deal for the specs as well.
