    so got the game and been wanting to play for the longest time. Get it downloaded and all and go to play and its real slow and jumpy. Brand new dell laptop computer, has all the right stuff for games and memory. Is there anything I can adjust to get this to go smoothly?

    Post us your laptop specs :) Or, if it happens that your computer is somewhat powerful enough to run this game, just not at high graphics, go ingame and press cntrl + o and it will open up the graphics options. Change accordingly.

    Just because something is new doesn't mean it is fast. :( Specs would be nice indeed.

    this isn't just your ordinary cheap laptop, its setup for gaming and such and is suppose to have lots of memory and ram for things such as this, was just wondering if there was a setting. ill try to post a pic of the specs asap

    this is the screen shot of what I think is right

    You seriously have no clue... lots of RAM equals lots of gaming power? You have a cheap and slow AMD quadcore with way not enough GPU power in there. This is a cheap laptop with lots of RAM and it handles the game as its hardware allowes. :(

    If you want framerates reduce details to low or lowest and reduce resolution.

    It's not only that it has an AMD processor. It has an AMD processor with 19 Watts of thermal budget. Now if we recall that the "latest" 125 Watt processors by AMD already struggle with BeamNG.drive you can guess what a 19 Watt processor that shares its thermal budget with the GPU can achieve.

    If you would've have asked before buying that laptop things would've looked better. Instead you've gone for the marketing lies "12GB of RAM!!1omgr0xx0rs"

    The problem is "lots of games"... this is not your regular Farmville or World of Warcraft or League of Legends. I'm sure your laptop will handle these pretty good. It's just that BeamNG.drive is realtime physics simulator! It requires latest and fastest hardware to run any good just because it is calculating 2000 times a second every little vehicle part.

    Also http://prntscr.com/5bjyu2 no one called you stupid. I'd say you were either uninformed or misguided.

    AMD laptop APU @1.7 ghz? Nope, not good enough. You'll be lucky if that thing can run anything released after 2010 :/

    Its basically a low end laptop which has a ton of ram. Gaming can be done on 8gb ram MAXIMUM, more doesn't benefit, most games (including BeamNG actually) need far less and will probably even be happy on a machine with 4gb.

    But you have a low low low end CPU, need a high end one for BeamNG. You have mediocre at best graphics.
    Not a laptop made for gaming. Marketing bullshit.

    Besides making sure windows is set to high performance mode rather than power saver and turning settings to lowest. Nothing you can do.

    Cmon if you know the dev of rigs of rods are mostly the same that work on beam NG....


    Btw Rig of rods is awesome ! :p


    Amd mobile Entry level are pretty good considering their igp beat intel one...

    but for beam ng a mobile i3 i5 i7 is needed as a minimum

    + a dedicated gpu


    The only amd laptop that is not too bad was the msi gx i think or something with a a10 + a 7970m but the cpu would bottleneck to death in beam NG...

    Lenovo G510 is the cheapest laptop we can call gaming laptop

    - - - Updated - - -



    battlefield 4 is completly multithreaded that why a amd a8 a10 run pretty well and the igp is stronger than intel too...

    Beamng is mostly singlethreaded it seem the physic work on multiple core still
